Description
Casa Magna Jalapa Claro is another successful collaboration between Master Blenders Manny Quesada and Nestor Plasencia Sr. To begin with, the Quesada family has been a part of the tobacco industry for over a century. Today Master Blender Manolo “Manny” Quesada is working with his two daughters, Patricia and Raquel and his niece Esther Quesada. Now the fifth generation of the Quesada Family runs the manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic with over 300 people in keeping the tradition of making premium cigars.
With attention to detail, Jalapa Claro features the same Nicaraguan binder and filler as the original cigar that won Cigar of the Year in 2008. The big difference here is the wrapper is a light claro leaf from Nicaragua’s Jalapa Valley. The result is now a smooth smoking medium to full bodied cigar with sweet woody flavors encompassing hickory, mesquite to maple and oak.
Without reservation, Cigar Aficionado rates it a very respectable score of 90. Their description is spot on. ” This tawny cigar is softly pressed with an even burn and superb draw. Light touches of wood and tea gain intensity, exhibiting leather, coffee bean and just the right amount of earthiness.”
To sum up, Casa Magna Jalapa Claro comes in three popular sizes of 20 count boxes.
