Casa Turrent 1880 Claro is an extremely popular cigar in this company’s lineup.
This Casa Turrent in particular possesses perfect craftsmanship and a smooth draw. The fact that a Lancero and Perfecto size is available speaks for itself.
Cigar Aficionado says the 1880 Claro has an easy draw and even burn with accents of wood, white pepper and herbs enliven the peanut core before an oaky finish. Cigar Lovers Magazine tells us it’s well made, with a generous and uniform filling. The construction is flawless and is a balanced cigar with decent intensity. Cigars and Spirits Magazine think highly of this cigar. Their description is perfect. “The flavors are distinctly nutty from the jump. Chestnuts and almonds with a nuanced saltiness that mingles nicely with hints of cinnamon and oak.”
Enough said!

What most people don’t know is that these value priced sticks are produced in the Florida by J.C. Newman, the folks that bring us some of the best Super Premiums available like Julius Caesar, Diamond Crown and Brick House. Believe it or not, more than pretty good tobaccos are utilized here in a short filler machine made form. What that means is instead of containing long leaves for fillers and binder, the contents is made up of all other leaf parts that haven’t been used in hand made premiums. They’re all encased in different shades of really nice Sungrown Ecuadorian wrappers in a variety of 3 sizes and styles. While their appearance is not perfect, each one is mild-mellow in taste with its own character. The 59 Sweet 6×45 has always been my pick of a short pleasant smoke for a whopping $1.65 price tag.
