La Aurora Cigars has unveiled a new extension to their 107 line, the 107 Nicaragua. This will be La Aurora's first Nicaraguan puro, meaning it's made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. It will still be rolled at their Dominican Republic factory.
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.
La Aurora Cigars has announced an new addition to their 107 lineup: 107 Cosecha 2007. This is a followup to the 2017 release of the 107 Cosecha 2006. The 2007 vintage will debut at IPCPR 2019 and contains tobacco all harvested from the same year.

·"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)

"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)

"The worst thing I have to say about a cigar is that I had to use my torch a handful of times to maintain a wonky burn. Beyond that, this stick lent me an immensely pleasant and relaxing smoking experience which was just the thing I needed this morning. From the first puff to the very last I experienced a simple yet robust gambit of flavors that were never out of balance with one another and just so happened to be right in my wheelhouse of what I prefer in a flavor profile. The smoke itself was luxuriously smooth and never harsh while the draw was virtually perfect. Only one major transition took place which for me always amps up the overall smoking experience because I don't have to overthink what I am experiencing. A solid nicotine buzz was just the cherry on top of a stellar smoke. I can't wait to smoke this one again!" -Noah S. (Noah)

"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.)

"Another great cigar that was a pleasure to smoke. Notes of sweet and bitter tea, honey, and burnt toast. Nice strong ash that hangs on for an inch or two. A cigar I'd want to have in my humidor and to share with friends. A nice after breakfast smoke." -Sean F. (fullermaine)

·"Ok...I like lonsdale and Lancero cigars but this was a very good cigar. It had depth of flavor and was very interesting. Construction was excellent, and the performance was really exemplary. I will gladly recommend this to anyone who is ready to move from mild to medium. Now to find out what it is so I can buy a box!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
