Casa Turrent 1880 Gran Bretaña Limited Edition Lancero

The Casa Turrent 1880 Gran Bretaña Limited Edition Lancero is an elegant, UK‑exclusive release from Mexico’s first family of cigars, created for smokers who enjoy nuance, history and rarity in equal measure. Handmade in Mexico and limited to just 2,500 cigars worldwide (250 numbered boxes of 10), this 7½" x 40 Lancero is very much a connoisseur’s size – slim, refined and focused squarely on flavour and aroma rather than sheer power.

Dressed in the renowned Casa Turrent San Andrés Maduro wrapper grown in the mineral‑rich soils outside Veracruz, the Gran Bretaña showcases the depth, sweetness and character that have made San Andrés one of the world’s most sought‑after maduro leaves. The binder and filler remain a closely guarded family secret, but in the glass it smokes as a medium‑to‑full‑bodied cigar with a toasty, cocoa‑led profile and the smoothness you would expect from the 1880 range.

Casa Turrent 1880 Gran Bretaña Lancero – Tasting Notes

Initial Third:
Opens at a refined medium body with a core of toasted tobacco, gentle wood and a soft natural sweetness. Hints of cocoa and light baking spice appear early, supported by a clean, slightly earthy undertone that keeps the profile grounded.

Middle Third:
The flavour deepens as dark chocolate and roasted nut notes come to the fore, with the toastiness evolving into something closer to lightly charred bread or roasted coffee bean. A touch of pepper and warming spice builds on the retrohale, nudging the strength towards medium‑to‑full while the texture remains smooth and composed.

Final Third:
Flavours concentrate into darker cocoa, espresso and toasted oak, with the spice now more present but never harsh. A lingering sweetness – think dark chocolate and a hint of molasses – plays against the earth and toast, giving a long, satisfying finish that rewards slow, attentive smoking.

Aroma:
Expect a refined aroma of toasted bread, cocoa, roasted nuts and gentle spice, underpinned by that distinctly San Andrés mix of earth and subtle sweetness.

Presented in lacquered, numbered boxes, the Casa Turrent 1880 Gran Bretaña Lancero is both a collector’s piece and a serious cigar for experienced palates – ideal for a quiet 45‑minute window with a good espresso, aged rum or a mellow single malt.
