The Casa Magna Colorado Gran Toro is a rich, full-flavoured Nicaraguan cigar created for adult cigar smokers who appreciate earthy tobacco, warm spice and the depth of a traditional Nicaraguan puro.

The blend was developed by Manuel Quesada and Nestor Plasencia and is handmade in Nicaragua. It features a rustic Nicaraguan Ligero Colorado wrapper, grown in the Jalapa region, surrounding Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.

At approximately 6 inches long with a 58 ring gauge, the Gran Toro offers a substantial mouthfeel and generous smoke production while providing enough length for its flavours to develop gradually.

The Casa Magna Colorado profile is built around coffee, cedar, earth, cocoa, spice and natural sweetness. Gran Toro-specific descriptions also highlight cinnamon and a toasted finish, while other examples of the blend show caramel, leather, creaminess and sweet cherry-style notes.

Casa Magna Colorado gained major recognition when the Robusto—not the Gran Toro—was named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 1 Cigar of 2008 with a 93-point score. The Gran Toro uses the celebrated Colorado blend in a larger format.

Why Choose This Cigar?

The Casa Magna Colorado Gran Toro takes the celebrated Casa Magna Colorado blend and presents it in a larger format suited to a slower, fuller smoking experience.

Its Nicaraguan Ligero Colorado wrapper contributes spice, aroma and richness, while the all-Nicaraguan binder and filler provide the earthy, coffee-driven backbone associated with the line.

The large ring gauge allows substantial smoke production while maintaining the blend’s characteristic combination of coffee, cedar, cocoa, earth and spice.

The Casa Magna Colorado line also carries notable pedigree: its Robusto was named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 1 Cigar of 2008, helping establish the blend as one of the best-known collaborations between Quesada and Plasencia.

For customers who enjoy fuller Nicaraguan cigars with rich coffee, cedar, earth and warm spice, the Gran Toro is a strong option for a premium humidor rotation.

Storage Guidance

Store the cigar in a properly maintained humidor to preserve its wrapper, construction, aroma and flavour.

Keep it away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, dry air and strong surrounding odours. Because of its larger ring gauge, allow enough room so the cigar is not compressed against neighbouring cigars.
