The Specs:
Country of Origin: Mexico

The Hype:
Casa Turrent 1880 premium handmade cigars pay tribute to the year the Turrent family entered the tobacco growing business in their native home of Mexico. Fittingly, it's made with primarily all Mexican tobaccos that include a San Andrés wrapper, criollo 98 binder, and fillers from a rare vintage 2007 Negro San Andrés crop, along with Mexican criollo 98' and a bit of criollo 98' leaves from Nicaragua. This time-consuming, carefully planned recipe results in a smoke that Alejandro Turrent deemed as one of their best blends ever! The well-seasoned cigar aficionado will experience an intensely delicious medium body smoke brimming with highly complex notes of coffee, wood, toasted almond, warm spice, cinnamon, and a rich buttery sweetness on the finish.
Due Date: March 25th, 2019.
Shipping: Lower 48 Only

Glad they made it safe n sound.
The Casa Turrent is around 7 months rested, and should not need to sit long at all before reviewing. I've been babying them for this moment!! :biggrin:

My critique is in. Thanks to Brian for giving me the opportunity to experience this cigar!
My critique is submitted. Thanks Brian for including me - I probably wouldn't have experienced this cigar otherwise. I forgot to add that the smoke time was one hour and 45 minutes in my critique.
Mine is finally in, just in the nick of time. It wasn't good though!

The tobacco used is all aged 12yrs, and then it had another 7 months tucked away in the shop humidor... :biggrin:
