Description
Casa Turrent 1973 Maduro celebrates the year of birth of Alejandro Turrent. To begin with, Alberto and Alejandro Turrent, owners of Nueva Matacapan de Tabacos S.A de C.V are the first family of Mexico’s cigar industry. The father-son team make some of Mexico’s best cigars. They are also the largest grower of cigar tobacco in the country. The San Andres Maduro leaf growing outside of Veracruz is world renowned for its quality. A variety of their tobaccos are important components in many of America’s most popular premium cigar brands.
With attention to detail, the 1973 edition features a Mexican San Andrés Colorado Maduro wrapper with San Andrés Criollo binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Mexican Criollo fillers. The result speak for themselves.
The Cigar Journal names this edition a top 25 cigar of the year with a perfect description. “This cigar has a fine sweetness, roasted and woody aromas, as well as opulent spice. There is also some eucalyptus freshness and coffee/nut aromas in the creamy smoke. Complex and flavorful.” Other reviewers claim it has a creamy, well-balanced smoke with notes of oak, leather, sweet spice, espresso, pepper, and dark chocolate. It’s safe to say this smooth smoking, medium strength cigar is satisfying for both experienced and newer cigar smokers.
To sum up, Casa Turrent 1973 Maduro comes in five popular sizes of 20 count boxes. But BEWARE….these great smokes sell out quickly. So get them when we have them. Enjoy!

When this outstanding cigar cane to market in 2020, the torpedo size rated 94 and became a top choice of the year. This is just one of the accolades it received,
” When you think Mexican San Andrés wrapper, visions of rustic, near-black cover leaf probably come to mind. Most of the time, that’s exactly what it is. But the Casa Turrent Serie 1973 is more of an alternative exploration of Mexican San Andrés Criollo tobacco and its possibilities. All the Mexican tobacco in the blend was grown by the Turrents, who provide San Andrés leaf to much of the industry. They make the cigar as well. When bolstered by some Nicaraguan filler, the Torpedo gives the sensation of chewing on chocolate-covered almonds. Black tea and cinnamon tones add complexity, but nutty sweetness abounds here. The series is named for the birth year of brand owner Alejandro Turrent, who changes our perception of Mexican tobacco.” Enough said….I agree completely!
