As the Casa Magna Colorado Robusto caused widespread panic in the cigar industry, the Casa Magna Oscuro line quietly is making its way to the top of the charts winning cigar smokers over one by one. In 2008 the No. 1 Cigar of the year was the elder – Casa Magna Robusto and this shouldn’t be taken lightly as it is a very coveted prize that most cigar manufacturers dream about. Now that the Oscuro wrapper has been released we’re waiting on its new rating. I have a feeling that the cigar will also get a high rating. The Oscuro wrapper is typically known to be stronger and darker and the Oscuro on the Casa Magna is impressively dark and flavorful.

Just like its older brother, the Oscuro Robusto retails at $5.25 per cigar. Most reviews of the Casa Magna Oscuro have it described as a full-flavored cigar that has hints of coffee, sweetness, and creamy raisins. Each cigar is wrapped in a “Colorado” wrapper and the construction and appearance of the cigar has been described as reddish.

In 2009 Casa Magna came out with their new blend called the Casa Magna Oscuro. It comes in 4 sizes: Robusto, Grand Churchill, Toro, and Belicoso. The big difference in the Oscuro cigar vs. the regular Casa Magna line is that the wrapper is different. The blend remains relatively the same, but now the Oscuro line has a nice, dark Oscuro wrapper instead of the classic Colorado wrapper of the regular line of Casa Magna Cigars.
