La Aurora 120th Anniversary Limited Edition Lancero

To mark the 120th anniversary of La Aurora, the oldest manufacturer in the Dominican Republic is launching a strictly limited edition cigar: the La Aurora 120 Aniversario LE. The anniversary cigar is available in two formats, a Lancero and a Doble Figurado, while the latter is only available in the Americas. Around 500 boxes are available for Switzerland, which will be reserved for the best La Aurora dealers

A harmoniously balanced cigar

The limited edition is presented in an imposing box with a two-part lid that reveals the beautifully crafted long filler. Each individual cigar is carefully wrapped in cedar wood to protect the valuable wrapper leaf. Those who enjoy the cigar are in for a treat: with a cedar flavour, the first puff of the La Aurora 120 Limited Edition reveals smoky aromas of peppery cinnamon and aniseed. Sweetness then emerges with the combination of cocoa and creamy coffee bean notes, which combine with the initial flavours and develop into a soft vanilla. In the final third, the flavour profiles transition into dry fruit and rich tropical notes, with subtle hints of wild honey and rich earth. This cigar is a truly unique flavour experience from start to finish.
