"This cigar was hands down my favorite blind review so far. From the flavor to the subtle changes that developed, this was a well made and well thought out cigar. Round of applause to the manufacturer. Very smooth and definitely on the lighter side. A great cigar for all types. Enjoy as many of these as you can, if you can." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

·"This was a very enjoyable cigar. It offered a unique flavor profile and quite a bit of transitions that kept things fresh. The fermented flavor was something I'm not sure I ever have tasted in a cigar before and definitely want to smoke more to see if I get the same thing. I'm excited to see what this is." -Emmett (BMP_Emmett)

·"Overall I liked this cigar. The flavor was good and had some strength but wasn’t in your face with it. I really enjoy a cigar that has a natural sweetness to the tobacco. This had some nice sweetness to it." -Matt H. (Mattehh)

·"Overall this was a solid performing smoke. A bit full bodied and strong for sure, make sure you have something in your stomach before smoking this bad boy, it will hit you going into the second half. Flavors were spot on for a full bodied smoke and diverse enough to make it interesting. Try one out, may be your next full bodied goto!" -John A. (Bostoneo)
La Aurora has announced the La Aurora Preferidos Hors d’Age 2021 LE. After a two-year hiatus, this limited-edition release is back. The Hors d’Age line first hit shelves in 2018, with follow-up releases in 2019 and 2020. The 2021 version comes in a 6x54 Toro that uses an Ecuadorian wrapper, Ecuadorian binder and filler from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Nicaragua.
"Pretty solid medium bodied cigar. Not fully my cup of tea, but there were aspects of it that I certainly enjoyed. The transitions from the early portion to the mid portion as well as the mid range to the finale were also really elegant. The final portion was really the best part for my taste, and it wasn't really a chore to get there." -John I. (John I.)

·"Overall, not bad. Decent flavors, a few changes until the final third which was the same as the 2nd. Burn was straight, but the draw, which was really good for a third and a half slowly kept getting tighter and tighter. By the end it was really tight." -Robert (NavyPiper)

·"I really dug this cigar even though it's not something that's in my normal flavor profile. While the flavors were consistent throughout they were fairly satisfying. I really enjoyed the saltiness begging me to have something close at hand to drink. The burn was excellent. The ash fell through each third. This cigar was just a solid performer from start to finish." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
