Cigar Review: Casa 1910 Cavalry Edition Jilguero
This cigar is a substantial, medium to full-bodied creation offering a blend of sweet, spicy, and earthy flavors. Wrapped in a rich Negro San Andres maduro leaf, it contains a binder from Esteli and filler tobaccos from both Esteli and Jalapa in Nicaragua. Crafted by hand in Nicaragua, the Casa 1910 Cavalry Edition Jilguero pairs excellently with bourbon. This brand honors the horses and riders of the Mexican Revolution. Its name pays tribute to Pancho Villa's resilient dark stallion, renowned for his strength and endurance over challenging terrain and long journeys.
The objective was to create brand that pays homage to the rich history of Mexico, inspired by the era of the Mexican Revolution. This pivotal moment in our nation's past celebrates the excellence of Mexican tobacco, highlighting its superior quality and significance during that transformative time.
The Icon draws inspiration from the Mexican flag, focusing on its most iconic elements: the eagle and the snake. The eagle's claw gripping the serpent mirrors the hand holding a cigar, all framed by a crown of nopales. Building on this symbolism, our color palette incorporates the flag's three primary colors, infused with contemporary and vibrant nuances.
The typography and design elements for 1910 are influenced by the styles found in documents and currency from the revolutionary period, lending an authentic and historical touch to their visual identity.
  Casa 1910
Casa 1910 is a distinguished cigar brand that embodies the proud spirit of the Mexican Revolution. Crafted in the San Andrés Valley of Veracruz, these cigars feature premium tobacco renowned for its exceptional quality. By blending this superior raw material with deep-rooted traditions and the unparalleled expertise of our team, Casa 1910 produces a cigar that stands in a class of its own.
Casa 1910 is dedicated to creating premium, hand-rolled, long filler cigars that celebrate Mexico's rich heritage. While many experienced smokers are acquainted with Mexican San Andres tobacco, which is commonly used in various cigar components, Casa 1910 is introducing a fresh array of varietals to Mexico's cigar repertoire. Their inaugural cigar, the Casa 1910 Cuchillos Parados, is a 5x50 robusto made entirely with new Mexican tobaccos. It features a Sumatran seed wrapper aged for three years, along with binder and filler leaves derived from San Andres seed varietals, each aged for five years.
The outcome is a luxuriously creamy and rich cigar, ideal for aficionados of all backgrounds. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a low-proof whiskey, offering a delightful experience for every cigar lover.
The details about Casa 1910's origins and team are largely a mystery, aside from the notable presence of their master blender, Manolo Santiago. Santiago, formerly the marketing manager for the Mexican distributor of Habanos S.A., brings his extensive expertise to the brand.
These cigars are cultivated and meticulously hand-rolled in Mexico, showcasing the country's exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality.
