Casa Magna Colorado Gigantor 6" * 64

To create Casa Magna Colorado, Manuel Quesada, a long time cigar maker in the Dominican Republic, created a partnership with Nestor Plasencia in Nicaragua. The blend that resulted was bold, with tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa, and full flavor with rich coffee and sweet cedar notes. The Robusto was crowned as the #1 Cigar of the Year 2008 by Cigar Aficionado.

The Giant was tipically a 9 inch by 52 cigar. Today, it is every cigar 8 inches and up with a ring gauge of 50 and up.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 64, so his diameter is 64/64 inches or 25.4 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado maduro wrapper is milk chocolate brown.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

The Plasencia family has been in the tobacco industry for six generations. With two factories located in Nicaragua, Nestor Plasencia Sr. grows and cures tobacco, and makes millions of cigars every year for renowned brands such as Rocky Patel and Gurkha.

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Nicaraguan cigar wrappers are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Wrappers grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro wrappers are all produced in Nicaragua.

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
