CASA MAGNA COLORADO ROBUSTO CIGAR
The Casa Magna Colorado Robusto is the definition of a sleeper hit turned legend. Crafted by Manuel Quesada in partnership with Nestor Plasencia, the blend was originally produced at Plasencia’s Segovia factory in Nicaragua. This alliance put precision construction behind bold, balanced flavour.
It didn’t stay a secret for long. In 2008, the Robusto was named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado. It earned 93 points and a permanent spot on countless “best cigars” shortlists. If you’re building a top-tier rotation or want one box that always delivers, this is the standard.
What makes it sing is the way Nicaragua’s growing regions play off each other. Estelí brings muscle and spice, while Jalapa adds poise and sweetness. The profile is vibrant yet civilised—rich coffee at the core, cedary sweetness, and a hint of raisin on the finish. The “Colorado” in its name simply describes the wrapper’s slightly reddish-brown hue. This is a classic shade for tobaccos with natural depth.
Specs that matter: it’s a Nicaraguan puro (wrapper, binder, and filler all from Nicaragua) in a 5½” x 52 Robusto that burns evenly and draws effortlessly. Body sits medium-full, giving you satisfying intensity without harshness—one reason this cigar continues to outperform blends twice its price.
If you’re hunting for a proven cigar of the year winner—or simply the best cigars to stock—Casa Magna Colorado Robusto is a no-brainer. Light up, settle in, and taste why it became an icon.
