Casa Turrent 1901 Maduro is a very highly rated offering from this exceptional company.
It’s important to know that Turrent’s San Andrés Morrón maduro wrapper leaf is widely considered by aficionados to be one of the finest available in the world. This dark and oily Maduro is a combination of very select Mexican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. Encasing this gem is the famous wrapper in question. The results are as expected.
Cigar Aficionado rates it an astounding 94! They have a lot to say about it. “A dark, pressed robusto. Each puff envelops the palate with cocoa powder and coffee before a sweet, luxurious finish redolent of caramel and black cherry.” Noted reviewer KATMAN wholeheartedly agrees and ups it with a score of 95. His advice is spot on. “You MUST buy this cigar. Do not pass Go. This is the best deal for a cigar of this quality I’ve had in ages.”

It’s hard to believe its been over 18 years since Davidoff launched this ultra-luxury brand paying homage to the company’s founder. Every facet of this highly complex, medium-bodied masterpiece is an accomplishment. The Dominican and Peruvian long fillers have been aged for over 5 years and combined with a Vintage Connecticut binder. The virtually perfect Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper has been aged for 2 years .
These sticks are packed with tobacco and have a wonderful draw. They’re cool and slow-burning yielding a super smooth taste to the finish with just enough spice. If you have a favorite size or style you don’t see listed, notify us IMMEDIATELY for price availability and ETA. Enjoy these BIG TIME!

Espinosa Laranja Reserva is one of this company’s highest rated cigars.
Laranja Reserva is the first Espinosa cigar incorporating a Brazilian wrapper. Laranja which is the Portuguese word for orange, hence the orange tint. Underneath this unique wrapper are vintage grade Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves. The result is what you’d expect.
At the time of its release, noted reviewer KATMAN says it was Espinosa’s best cigar to date with a draw better than perfect. The critics at Cigar Dojo rate it a stellar 93 and rave. “Full flavor, full strength, full everything! An abundance of flavors, combined with premium tobaccos with a nice body to back makes this an absolutely stellar cigar.”
Not to mention the best words of praise by Cigar Aficionado. “Laranja serves as a bright and flavorful showcase for the wrapper, offering plenty of graham cracker flavor. We also detected a distinctly citrus-like quality and zest.” They give this jewel a score of 94 bestowing it one as of the top 25 cigars of the year.

When you consider the vast array of entries this iconic company offers, it can become pleasantly difficult deciphering what sets each one apart from another. The Miami Reserva editions stand out in that what’s known as Medio Tiempo leaves are added to the fillers. These smallest leaves located at the very top of the plant contain the highest concentration of oil. Hence, they noticeably enhance the entire flavor spectrum of the cigar’s character. I’ve often said that taste is a personal preference. What I can say is that the dark San Andreas Mexican maduro wrapper added to this cigars blend produces a solidly full bodied stick with very defined undertones of sweetness, spice and fruit that noticeably increase in intensity and strength as you move along.

Master Blender Arsenio Ramos has been turning out 90+ editions at Casa Fernandez for many years. This Maduro cigar is one of a trio produced in celebration of his 80th birthday. All three are extraordinary to say the least. To say this one is just a great robust full bodied cigar doesn’t do it justice.Yes, it’s smooth and complex and everything you’d expect from these guys. What’s great about this stick’s incredible blend is that it’s rich taste gains a powerful intensity as you move to the finish. Buckle up!

This very interesting edition launched in 2018. It’s unique undertones of coffee and hazelnut yields a smooth smoking medium to full bodied taste that caught a lot of us by surprise.
