Casa Turrent 1880 Colorado Perfecto

For decades, the Turrent family was known for two things: their Te-Amo cigar series, and producing some of the finest Mexican San Andrés wrapper leaf in the industry. Te-Amo - a very popular brand in North America in the 1990's - has seen its popularity muted in recent years. The good news is the Turrents have replaced it with the arguably superior Casa Turrent brand.

Although the first Casa Turrents found their way to market in 2013, the popular 1880 series didn't see a proper release date until 2020. This is when the Turrent family expanded a blend they had created a few years earlier to a "Double Robusto" size with the option of four different wrapper leaves: Claro, Colorado, Oscuro, and Maduro. Feedback was good enough that the next year they expanded the portfolio to include four new sizes, including the Lancero and Perfecto.

The 1880 Colorado is a medium-bodied blend, rolled with a Mexican Negro San Andrés colorado cover leaf around a Mexican Habano Criollo San Andrés binder and assorted Mexican fillers. The flavour profile is toasty and woody, with distinct notes of dried fruit. The Perfecto in the series offers a burn time upwards of 75 minutes.
