The Casa Turrent 1880 (the year when the company was founded), was released back in 2017, but recently the line saw the addition of not one but four wrapper variations. Each of the four variants focuses heavily on Mexican tobacco. It is balanced and round, with a very long finish.
It develops rich notes of wood, hazelnut, and vegetal aromas, enriched with a hint of white pepper. In the central section, leather is added, and the smoke’s base becomes progressively sweeter.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are made.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in the Winter 2020 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
