A horse is a horse, of course, but have you seen the Casa 1910 Cigars Cavalry Edition? This medium-full selection is dedicated to three horses of the Mexican Revolution and their rebel riders. Because Mexican horses are of mixed breeds the folks at Casa 1910 intentionally blended the line with tobaccos from both Mexico and Nicaragua for a cigar “as unique and vigorous as the horses that carried the revolutionaries to victory.” Mainly Nicaraguan forward, the tobaccos selected for use in the Calvary line include Mexican San Andrés Negro, Ecuador Habano, Nicaraguan Jalapa, Ometepe, and Estelí.
Jilguero, one of Pancho Villa’s favorite horses, inspired this Gordo capped with a dark brown San Andrés Negro wrapper to represent its color. Plus, the 6x60 dimensions promises a long, rich, and flavorful ride. As de Oro, one of Emilio Zapata’s finest and strongest horses, dons a flawless Habano wrapper that makes a bold, yet graceful statement. Lucero is named for the white spot between the eyes of another Pancho Villa equine, Siete Leguas, a magnificent Criollo mare. The formidable figurado also boasts a pristine Habano wrapper.
All three shapes combined run a gamut of flavors including wood, sweet and peppery spices, leather, earth, molasses, coffee, cocoa, and more. Choose the Casa 1910 Cavalry cigar you want to saddle-up and discover a cigar that has more to offer than the average Mexican variety.
