It takes a strong stomach, an iron constitution you might say, to decide to mess around with a proven winner, but Manual Quesada is known for his bravery and so the Casa Magna Colorado Box Pressed Gordo Real is here. The original Casa Magna Colorado shocked the tobacco industry back in 2008 by being named Cigar of the Year. Having coasted on those laurels since then, it was time to shake things up to reignite the excitement this cigar is capable of producing. Taking the same incomparable blend of nothing but Nicaraguan tobaccos, they were given a firm box press to further marry the gorgeous flavors and enhance the burn.
With the same band as the original you'll have to identify this Casa Magna by its defining shape, but that's not hard to do. If you've had a Colorado before, you'll also be able to recognize the solid heft, the chocolaty aroma, the warm spice in the cold draw. What you may not expect from this 6 ¼” x 60 cigar is how much a difference the box press makes to the taste. Delicious with cedar and cinnamon and coffee being dominant, there is an added richness that acts like a flavor injector for the tongue, resulting in a lingering profile and experience like few others.
Even without the stellar ratings, this cigar is capable of holding its own against any other stogie regardless of cost. Amazing it is then that the Casa Magna Colorado Box Pressed Gordo Real cigars are so affordable, so much so that they may represent the best value on this entire site. We think you'll find them easily comparable to a Padron 1964 or Tatuaje Black Label. Yeah, they're that good so grab a box now and get ready to have some happy friends when you hand them out like you're passing out candy. They'll think you've gone off your rocker but who cares?
