There’s a reason why this brand has been around forever. They’re very good cigars! The intricate three country blend has remained eerily consistent over decades. This mellow to medium bodied stick draws well, burns perfectly and has a smooth finish. What it lacks in marketing sizzle it more than makes up for in substance and character.
Origin – Honduras
Filler – Honduran-Nicaraguan

The Matilde Oscura Grande is a luxurious and complex smoking experience featuring a meticulously selected blend of premium tobaccos that deliver a harmonious balance of flavors.
The highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rate this great smoke a score of 92. Their description will give you all you need to know. “One of the most noticeably favorable aspects of the Oscura is its balance. There’s never too much of a certain flavor, or any harsh or unwanted qualities. In the last portion of the smoke, the full flavors are met with an increasing strength/body, which are around medium-full. Notes of oak, cinnamon, acidic coffee, and chicory balance out the end out the smoke from start to finish. This was a very interesting profile, offering a great balance of decadent, heavy chocolate sweetness against sharper notes of organic elements, with lots of oaks and root-like aspects—a great change of pace from today’s average maduro.”
It’s safe to say Matilde Oscura Grande is a winner!

Warped Flor Del Valle Sky Flower is a tribute to the tradition and artistic expression of old-world cigar-making with a modern twist.
Each of these cigars is a testament to the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that Warped is known for. At the heart of the Flor Del Valle Sky Flower is an exclusive and unique blend of Aganorsa Leaf tobaccos producing rich flavor and aromatic qualities. The fillers and binder are a combination of rare Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo leaves. The result is a medium to full-bodied profile that is intensely satisfying.
Cigar Coop rates this blend a very respectable 92. Their description is short and sweet. “The Sky Flower was an excellent cigar from start to finish.” Cigar Aficionado thinks this Lancero is worth a try as well. “A long, thin, matte-brown cigar with a multi-seam cap and some prominent veins. First puffs ease the palate into a warm breadiness, eventually showing lively notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves before the black tea finish.”

Casa Turrent 1880 Maduro is another highly rated blend from this hugely popular series.
The 1880 Maduro contains vintage Mexican (Criollo 98) & Nicaragua (Criollo 98) filler. Add to this a Mexican (Criollo 98) binder and you know it’s going to be special. Encase all this with a Mexican San Andrés grade A Maduro wrapper completing the formula and you have a very complexly blended masterpiece.
Cigar Aficionado rates this dark entry a 91 with a perfect description. “A near-black cigar that draws evenly. Layering the palate with notes of spicy licorice, wood and dark toast. All leading to a nutty core of almond, cashew and peanut. The finish is long and spicy.” And for the record, Cigar Coop and Halfwheel both score it a respectable 90.
No doubt, this is another winner for Casa Turrent, hands down! Sooner or later, you’ll want to try one of this company’s great smokes.
