Casa Magna Jalapa Claro Toro Box Pressed 6" * 50

Casa Magna Jalapa Claro is made with the same blend as the popular Casa Magna Colorado, but instead of a Colorado wrapper it uses a Nicaraguan Claro wrapper from Jalapa. This limited edition medium bodied cigar is handmade in Nicaragua by Plasencia with only 500 boxes made in each size.

The standard Toro shape is 6 inches by 50 ring.

A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

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 50, so his diameter is 50/64 inches or 19.81 mm.

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.

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.
