Cigar Review: Casa 1910 Cavalry Edition Lucero

The Casa 1910 Cavalry Edition Jilguero is a substantial, medium to full-bodied cigar, delivering a complex blend of sweet, spicy, and earthy flavors. Its rich flavor comes from the savory Negro San Andres maduro wrapper, encasing an Esteli binder and filler tobaccos sourced from Esteli and Jalapa, Nicaragua. Expertly handcrafted in Nicaragua, this cigar pairs excellently with bourbon. The brand honors the valiant horses and riders of the Mexican Revolution, naming this particular cigar after Pancho Villa's revered dark stallion, celebrated for his endurance and strength in carrying heavy loads across challenging terrain and great distances.

The goal was to establish a brand that honors Mexico's rich heritage, drawing inspiration from the Mexican Revolution era. This crucial period in our nation's history showcases the exceptional quality and importance of Mexican tobacco, emphasizing its excellence during those transformative years.

The Icon is inspired by the Mexican flag, spotlighting its most iconic symbols: the eagle and the snake. The imagery of the eagle's talon clutching the serpent is akin to a hand grasping a cigar, encircled by a crown of nopales. Enhancing this symbolism, our color scheme integrates the flag's three primary hues, revitalized with modern, vibrant accents.

The typography and design elements for 1910 draw from the aesthetics of documents and currency from the revolutionary era, providing an authentic and historical essence to their visual identity.

Casa 1910 is a prestigious cigar brand that captures the indomitable spirit of the Mexican Revolution. Handcrafted in the San Andrés Valley of Veracruz, these cigars are made with premium tobacco celebrated for its outstanding quality.

Dedicated to producing premium, hand-rolled, long filler cigars, Casa 1910 celebrates Mexico's rich cultural heritage. While experienced smokers are familiar with Mexican San Andrés tobacco, typically used in various cigar components, Casa 1910 introduces a new selection of varietals to Mexico's cigar landscape. Their debut cigar, the Casa 1910 Cuchillos Parados, is a 5x50 robusto crafted entirely from new Mexican tobaccos. It features a Sumatran seed wrapper aged for three years, alongside binder and filler leaves from San Andrés seed varietals, each aged for five years.

The result is a luxuriously creamy and rich cigar, perfect for aficionados of all levels. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a low-proof whiskey, providing a delightful experience for every cigar lover.

While details about Casa 1910's origins and team remain largely unknown, the brand boasts the notable expertise of their master blender, Manolo Santiago. Formerly the marketing manager for the Mexican distributor of Habanos S.A., Santiago brings extensive knowledge and experience to the brand.

Cultivated and meticulously hand-rolled in Mexico, these cigars exemplify the country's exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to quality.

Cigar Details

The Lucero Torpedo cigar pays tribute to Pancho Villa's cherished Criollo mare, "Siete Leguas." Distinguished by a white spot between her eyes, referred to as "Lucero" or bright star, Siete Leguas was a horse of unparalleled beauty and strength.

Her loyalty, nobility, and determination made her a key participant in some of the revolutionary's most significant achievements, inspiring numerous legends and songs.

This cigar features an Ecuadorian wrapper encasing a Mexican Negro San Andrés binder, complemented by a blend of various Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.

Flavor-wise, the Lucero Torpedo delivers a compelling profile with notes of coffee, earth, nutmeg, cedar, and pepper.
