La Aurora is set to make its presence felt at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) International Convention and Trade Show in 2024, returning with its award-winning booth and introducing the annual release of its Puro Vintage series.
"This is a highly intriguing smoke, the flavor profile is very diverse and exceedingly pleasant. While well balanced, the predominant notes of caramel, earth, cherries, and baking spice were most consistent, making this an excellent pairing for a dram of Buffalo Trace or Knob Creek." -Fred L. (Fred L.)
Foundation Cigar Company rebrands METAPA to AKSUM, inspired by the historic Ark of the Covenant. The blend remains unchanged, offering a tribute to tradition and innovation in premium cigars.
"I love this vitola and how they are a perfect winter cigar. There weren't really any big flavor transitions but the flavors hit my palate in the sweet spot. Loved the black coffee, leather, earth and spice this cigar presented me. I would definitely recommend this to full bodied smokers who only have 30 to 45 minutes to enjoy a cigar. Very well done!!" -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
The Diesel Vintage Series will introduce the Natural blend on March 1, featuring aged Nicaraguan tobaccos and an Ecuadorian wrapper, aiming for complexity and boldness at a reasonable price.
"The flavor was slightly light and one note, but it was a nice sweet floral and cedar flavor. The cigar had a good creaminess until the final third, which transitioned into a heavy, bitter bite. The cigar smoked fast and seemed light, so I'm unsure if it was underfilled or mix-filled. I would smoke it again at the right price, but it is not the most complex stick." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
The 2024 release of Atabey Black Ritos brings a unique blend of aged tobaccos to a select group of retailers and NFT Box holders, encapsulating the essence of luxury and innovation in the cigar industry.
"I somehow drew this short smoke out to almost 55 minutes. But I really enjoyed every minute of it. The heavy pepper and oak notes with the hints of citrus were a nice combination. If you are short on time or need a closer for the evening this cigar checked all the boxes for me." -Quinn (quinnpins269)

"Looking at a cigar like this, you kind of feel like you know what you're going to get. And sometimes it's nice when that holds true if it is something you typically enjoy. Good and hearty, with rich bold flavors make for a great session in the cold weather. I'm glad I got the opportunity and look forward to discovering what it is, so I can smoke it again to pair with a delicious coffee stout. It feels like they would be made for each other and I'm happy to find out for you." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)
