Casa Magna Colorado Robusto
Casa Magna
Description
Manuel Quesada has been making cigars since 1974. His original cigars were mild bodied, most of them a blend of Dominican filler and binder tobaccos cloaked with light Connecticut seed wrappers. His latest endeavours are bolder, more vibrant smokes. The Casa Magna Colorado is his greatest innovation. He joined forces with Nicaragua’s largest grower of cigar tobacco, Nestor Plascencia, and created this blend in Plasencia’s Segovia cigar factory.
In 2008 the Casa Magna Colorado Robusto was named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado with a rating of 93 points. This cigar has a bold heart of Cuban-seed tobacco, all of it grown in two very different regions of Nicaragua; tobacco from Esteli tends to be strong while that grown in Jalapa, to the north is typically more balanced and elegant.
Together they combine to create a full-flavoured cigar, full of rich coffee notes and balanced by a cedary sweetness with a hint of raisins. The word ‘Colorado’ in the brand name refers to the dark, slightly reddish hue of the wrapper.
