Experience Casa Turrent: The Soul of Mexican Cigar Heritage
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are proud to present Casa Turrent, Mexico’s most distinguished cigar house and one of the oldest tobacco-growing families in the world. With a legacy that spans over five generations, Casa Turrent embodies the artistry, passion, and tradition that have defined premium Mexican cigars for more than a century.
A Heritage of Excellence
The Turrent family’s story began in 1880, when Alberto Turrent founded the first family tobacco fields in the lush San Andrés Valley of Veracruz, Mexico. Over generations, the family refined their craft, cultivating and aging exceptional tobaccos that would gain global acclaim. Today, under the leadership of Alejandro Turrent, Casa Turrent continues this proud tradition — blending Mexican heritage with international sophistication to create cigars of unmatched character.
Recognised for introducing the world to the richness of Mexican San Andrés tobacco, Casa Turrent remains the benchmark of quality and authenticity in modern cigar making.
Tobacco and Craftsmanship
Each Casa Turrent cigar is handcrafted using tobaccos grown on the family’s own farms in the San Andrés Valley — a region celebrated for its volcanic soil, humid climate, and exceptional fertility. The hallmark of the brand is the use of the San Andrés Negro wrapper, known for its depth, sweetness, and aromatic complexity. Blends are complemented by aged tobaccos from Nicaragua and the family’s own Mexican harvests, creating cigars that are smooth, rich, and deeply satisfying.
Typical Tasting Notes
Casa Turrent cigars are admired for their bold yet balanced flavour, offering a unique combination of sweetness, spice, and earthiness. Expect:
-
Aromas of cocoa, espresso, and toasted oak with hints of dried fruit and sweet spice.
-
On the palate, flavours of dark chocolate, leather, and molasses balanced by notes of pepper, nuts, and a creamy, lingering finish.
Among its most celebrated lines are the Casa Turrent 1880, Casa Turrent 1942, and Casa Turrent 1973 — each honouring a defining chapter in the family’s storied history while showcasing the depth and elegance of Mexican tobacco.
Perfect Pairings
The rich and nuanced nature of Casa Turrent cigars pairs beautifully with equally complex and full-flavoured drinks:
- Añejo tequila, mezcal, or aged rum
- Full-bodied red wines such as Malbec or Tempranillo
- Espresso, dark chocolate, or spiced desserts
Whether savoured after a fine meal or during an evening of reflection, Casa Turrent cigars deliver a captivating experience steeped in Mexican heritage and artisanal excellence.
