Halfwheel believes the Miami version produces a quite positive overall experience. Cigar Lovers Magazine rates the San Andres selection at 90. They love it. “ This is a cigar with intense flavor profile, which is clearly perceptible from the first puffs on.” International critics speak very highly of the Nicaraguan entry. “the basic character remains uniquely “toasty-sweet” and reminiscent of roasted almonds until it is put down. The repeatedly flashing spicy notes of nutmeg or cinnamon also match this. Great smoke!” Niche reviewer Bored Absurdist claims the CUBA blend is a superior cigar, rich in flavor.

The backstory how Casa Turrent Origins came to be is interesting
as the company’s owner Alejandro Turrent explains “We had a lot of tobacco bales that reached temperatures too high in the bales, . “We didn’t throw that tobacco away, but kept it. We realized that the first tobaccos getting burnt in the bales were the leaves of the highest quality, because they have more essential oils. So we started experimenting with that tobacco, and with a lot of those leaves, we got very nice results. They turned out a bit spicy, like young tobacco, but also a bit sweet like aged tobacco.”
Miami – Strength: Medium bodied
Nicaraguan- Strength: Full bodied
