Gerardo Turrent is part of the fifth generation of a family that has dedicated over 140 years to the cultivation and crafting of tobacco in San Andrés, Mexico.
The Turrent family is widely recognised for producing some of the finest tobacco in the region, with a reputation built on quality, consistency, and tradition. Although Gerardo grew up surrounded by the world of tobacco, he formally joined the family business 15 years ago. Since then, he has been involved in every stage of the process – from the fields to the final blend – helping to preserve the legacy of Casa Turrent and Te-Amo, while introducing these iconic Mexican cigars to new audiences around the world.
For Gerardo, working with tobacco is more than a tradition; it’s a way of life built on family.
Casa Turrent is one of Mexico’s premier cigar companies, celebrated for its masterful use of San Andrés tobacco. With roots stretching back to 1880, the Turrent family has perfected the art of tobacco cultivation.
Casa Turrent cigars, such as the 1880 and Serie 1901 lines, highlight the richness of Mexican tobacco, blending tradition with modern refinement. The brand is lauded for its quality, craftsmanship, and contribution to putting Mexican cigars on the world map.
