The Tabacalera A. Turrent factory is located on the southeast coast of Veracruz, Mexico. Here, the traditions of growing tobacco are carefully preserved, laid down in the 80s of the 19th century by the founders of the factory, combining them with the experience of local craftsmen, whose art of making cigars dates back to the distant past.
The excellent taste and aroma of Te-Amo little cigars made at the factory is the result of the interaction of exceptional climatic conditions, ancient knowledge of cigar making and our own unique recipes for tobacco blends.
The entire process of creating Te-Amo little cigars – growing tobacco, fermentation, careful selection of tobacco leaves for new blends – bears the imprint of the exceptional dedication, knowledge and experience that have been inherent in all generations of the Turrent family.
The most famous cigar brand, Te-Amo little cigars, has been produced since 1963. Since 1964, these cigars have been exported to the United States. Tabacalera A. Turrent, which acquired the brand in 1973, currently has distributors in 28 countries: Argentina, Canada, USA, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Japan, Malaysia, Macau, South Africa, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Cyprus, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Ukraine, Great Britain, Switzerland, Sweden, Slovakia.
