La Aurora
DESCRIPTION
La Aurora is celebrating 120 years of tobacco tradition with the unveiling of the La Aurora 120 Anniversary Edition . As the oldest and most traditional cigar manufacturer in the Dominican Republic, La Aurora reached a significant milestone in 2023. For 120 years, La Aurora has been producing outstanding cigars in Santiago de los Caballeros, drawing on a deeply rooted tradition. To celebrate this anniversary in style, the entire La Aurora team has developed a remarkably unique cigar. The La Aurora 120 Anniversary Edition is the result of expertise, passion, creativity and a tireless pursuit of perfection.
A harmoniously balanced cigar
The La Aurora 120 Anniversary Gran Toro reveals a powerful opening with dominant cedar notes that unfold as the cigar progresses. The cedar aromas provide a gentle contrast to the smoky nuances of peppery cinnamon and aniseed. Following this dynamic start, notes of cocoa and coffee beans gradually develop, ultimately leading to a smooth vanilla finish and creating a harmonious balance.
La Aurora 120th Anniversary – beautifully packaged
It is not only the distinctive flavour of the La Aurora 120th Anniversary Edition that is impressive; the design of the cigar box is also of particular significance: the box was designed by a renowned Dominican designer and is adorned with intricate illustrations that tell the story of the company. With this anniversary edition, La Aurora has proven that, even after 120 years, it is still capable of creating remarkable products. The company remains true to its traditions whilst setting new standards in tobacco production. We can look forward to seeing what innovations this legendary manufacturer has in store for us in the coming decades!

What Cigar Aficionado says about the La Aurora 120 Aniversario Gran Toro
" This Grande has some prominent veins on its wrapper. Notes of earth and walnut become dry and slightly gravelly on the finish. The tasters noted a certain inconsistency in both the burn and the draw. “ ” Cigar Aficionado, 7 November 2023
