Casa 1910 is adding a Vitola to the Revoluntionary Edition

Last year Casa 1910 debuted with the Casa 1910 Cuchillo Parado, a robusto made completely out of Mexican tobacco. This year Casa 1910 is adding a vitola to the Revolutionary Edition where the Cuchillo Parado part of is, and the Mexican cigar producer comes with a new, three vitola, line.

The new cigar in the Revolutionary Edition is the Tierra Blanca, a 6×54 Toro with a 5 year old San Andres Negro wrapper over an aged Mexican Sumatra binder. The cigar is a bit stronger than its smaller sibling. The cigar gets its name from an important battle of the Mexican Revolution waged by Pancho Villa, that was a major victory for the revolutionaries over federal forces. It fits with the whole Mexican independence theme of the Casa 1910 brand.

The new series is the Cavalry Edition. This again has links to the Mexican independence. During the revolution, horses and their riders fought ferocious battles. The Mexican horses are a mixture of breeds and therefore Casa 1910 doesn’t opt for a Mexican puro but a blends from different countries that is “as vigorous as the horses that carried the revolutionaries to victory.”

There will be three sizes, two with the same size but in a different format. One is a 6×54 Toro with the name As de Oro, the other, called Lucero, is a Torpedo but they have the same blend with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Mexican San Andres Negro binder. The filler comes from different regions in Nicaragua. The third size is a 6×60 Jilguero. The latter has a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. All three cigars are made at an undisclosed factory in Nicaragua.

The names derive from horses who fought in the battle such as As de Oro which was the horse of Emiliano Zapata, a leading figure of the Mexican Revolution, and was the horse he rode in his final battles. Lucero comes from Siete Leguas, a horse that belonged to Pancho Villa and which was known for a white spot between her eyes known as a Lucero. Jilguero was another of Pancho Villa’s horses, a dark stallion known being capable of hauling heavy loads thanks to its strength and vigour.
