This was my mystery cigar from last months subscription box & I wasn’t disappointed.
I had no idea of what to expect beyond the size and construction and the aesthetics of the cigar itself.
The wrapper was flawless. A real dark cocoa coloured wrapper, it was just beautifully constructed. You could tell a lot of effort has went into the construction of the cigar and it shows.
The lighting was one of the best experiences I’ve had. A very even burn with no touch ups at all. I made this cigar last me around an hour and ten by taking it slow and steady. The flavours are medium with a great spice and cedar note with creamy white smoke and ash. The ash held well too.
It was one of those cigars I nubbed and didn’t want to end! It was just a lovely relaxing smoke, just shooting the breeze and thinking about nothing but the flavour and experience. This is my first Mexican cigar, so that’s been a real treat. I think I’ll certainly return to this cigar in the future. Thank you for the wonderful choice, Georgina.

This has been my favourite of the Orignese series so far, after trying the Cuban and the Nicaraguan. Its got a few dimensions to the flavour; a rich coco depth with a slight sweetness and spice to it. Smokes very well like Ive come to expect from Casa Turrent. Never had a dud. Good size for the price, long lasting, loads of smoke.

Casa Turrent make excellent cigars and are clearly trying different styles with its growing range. I am working my way through all of them, the Claro being my favourite so far. This one is like a typical dark/medium Nicaraguan. Slightly bitter taste, chocolate, coffee, odd hints of sweetness. Its good for the price. Burns slow and gives off lots of smoke. An easy draw. The bitter taste is whats stopping my give it 5 stars, but Im sure some people like that or its my palette, but its not for me. Worth trying if you like the other dark ones from Casa Turrent or Nicaraguans like Joya Silver or the Plasencia Orchant.

Great cigar. I am quite new in it. I would say it is quite light cigar - not much pepper in it, is quite creammy with a little bit of mushrooms. It is quite tough and burning very slow. Ash stayed till the end ;)

I recommend cutting these precisely in half. You get two 45 minute smokes,perfect for walking the dog or going on a walk. I know cutting cigars in half is a cardinal sin but theres an exemption now and again. The flavours arent really anything to hark on about but all in all its fairly pleasant.

Love this cigar! Very dark, full flavour, creamy smoke, excellent draw and construction, great from start to finish, was very sad to let it go!
