Casa Turrent Serie 1973 Robusto

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Casa Turrent Serie 1973 Robusto opens with a smooth medium body, delivering an inviting mix of sweet cedar, toasted almond, and light cocoa over a base of creamy earth and gentle spice. The retrohale adds white pepper, nutmeg, and a touch of dried apricot, offering both warmth and subtle fruit brightness to the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into honey-drizzled brioche, roasted cashew, and light caramel, while the pepper mellows into a soft, background undertone. A faint floral sweetness emerges, weaving seamlessly into the creamy mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar gains depth with milk chocolate, toasted oak, mild coffee, and a hint of baking spice, finishing long, smooth, and slightly sweet with a lingering nutty tone.

Construction and Draw
The robusto vitola is flawlessly rolled with a Mexican Criollo San Andrés wrapper over Mexican binder and fillers, exhibiting tight seams, a precise cap, and an even, firm pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, vanilla cream, and a hint of cocoa. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless, producing abundant, cool smoke with a velvety texture. The burn line stays sharp with minimal waviness, and the ash stacks into firm, light-gray coins that cling well past the inch mark. Combustion remains steady throughout, rewarding a slow, relaxed cadence.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Glenmorangie 12 Year Lasanta or Ron Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva; both complement the cigar’s cream, cedar, and gentle sweetness while adding depth to the finish.
