Casa Turrent Cigars and Mexican Tobacco
Casa Turrent is the premium cigar brand of the Turrent family, whose history in Mexican tobacco extends back to the nineteenth century. The family established its tobacco-growing operations in Mexico's San Andrés Valley, a region of Veracruz known for producing dark, distinctive tobacco used both in Mexican cigars and as wrapper leaf by cigar manufacturers outside Mexico.
Casa Turrent uses that tobacco-growing background as the foundation of its cigar portfolio. Serie 1901, Serie 1942, Serie 1973, and 1880 reference important years in Turrent family history while using different Mexican tobacco varieties and blend compositions to create separate expressions of San Andrés tobacco.
Casa Turrent Cigar Blends
Casa Turrent Serie 1942
Casa Turrent Serie 1942 honors the birth year of Alberto Turrent. The blend uses Mexican San Andrés Negro Colorado wrapper tobacco with Mexican Criollo binder and a combination of Mexican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The result is a distinctly Mexican blend that incorporates Nicaraguan tobacco without losing its San Andrés foundation.
Casa Turrent Serie 1973
Casa Turrent Serie 1973 references the birth year of Alejandro Turrent. It uses a Mexican San Andrés Criollo wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and Mexican San Andrés Criollo and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The Criollo wrapper provides the most obvious technical distinction from the darker Negro Colorado tobacco used on Serie 1942.
Casa Turrent 1942 vs. 1973
Serie 1942 and Serie 1973 provide a useful comparison of Mexican wrapper tobaccos in similar cigar formats. Serie 1942 uses San Andrés Negro Colorado with Mexican Criollo binder, while Serie 1973 uses San Andrés Criollo with Nicaraguan binder. Both incorporate Mexican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos and are handmade in Mexico.
Casa Turrent Serie 1901
Serie 1901 is another of Casa Turrent's historically named collections and references the birth year of Alejandro Turrent's grandfather. The line predates the 1942 and 1973 extensions and helped establish Casa Turrent as a distinct premium cigar brand centered on Mexican San Andrés tobacco.
Casa Turrent 1880
Casa Turrent 1880 references the beginning of the Turrent family's tobacco-growing history in Mexico. The collection uses specially selected aged tobaccos and represents the premium end of the Casa Turrent portfolio. Different 1880 expressions use wrapper variations including Claro, Colorado, Maduro, and Oscuro.
Casa Turrent Robusto and Gran Robusto Cigars
Current Cigars N Cigars inventory makes Serie 1942 and Serie 1973 particularly easy to compare because both are available in Robusto and Gran Robusto formats. Choosing equivalent dimensions allows the wrapper and internal blend differences between the two collections to remain the primary variables.
What Is Mexican San Andrés Tobacco?
San Andrés tobacco is grown in the San Andrés Valley of Veracruz, Mexico. The region is particularly associated with darker wrapper and binder tobaccos, although Casa Turrent demonstrates that San Andrés tobacco encompasses multiple varieties and processing styles rather than a single Maduro wrapper. Serie 1942 and Serie 1973 illustrate this difference through Negro Colorado and Criollo wrapper selections.
Where Are Casa Turrent Cigars Made?
Casa Turrent cigars are handmade in Mexico. Mexican tobacco is central to the brand, particularly tobacco associated with the Turrent family's operations in the San Andrés Valley. Individual blends may also incorporate Nicaraguan tobacco as binder or filler depending on the collection.
Choosing a Casa Turrent Cigar
Start with the wrapper and blend. Serie 1942 emphasizes Mexican San Andrés Negro Colorado, while Serie 1973 uses Mexican San Andrés Criollo. Serie 1901 provides another expression of the family's Mexican tobacco tradition, while 1880 moves into specially selected and extensively aged tobaccos at the premium end of the portfolio.
