La Aurora is marking the 120 year milestone in 2023 with a brand new cigar. The La Aurora 120 Anniversary is desribed as a medium-to-full body cigar. The blend uses a Dominican Habana 92-seed wrapper, Olor dominicano (Cibao Valley) binder, Piloto Cubano (Cibao Valley, Rep. Dom), Olor dominicano (Cibao Valley), and Dominican Corojo fillers.
The wrapper was selected for its aromatic attributes and consistent burn, while the fillers were selected to bring in a complete and balanced smoking experience without ever compromising flavor. The cigars will be sold in dress boxes in four sizes: Robusto (5×50), Toro (5 ½ x 54), Gran Toro (6×58) and Churchill (7×47). The cigar is expected to ship late spring.
“As we commemorate our 120th anniversary, we are proud to mark a milestone that will serve as a reference point for many years to come. Our commitment has always been with creating cigars that embody the rich, distinct flavors of the cigar world. The La Aurora 120 blend we have chosen to create is a product of teamwork to a degree we had never accomplished before. The 120th Anniversary also brings a “New Dawn” for La Aurora. We have rebuilt our Tabaquería to represent our Dominican identity in full, as well as grown more of our own, unique La Aurora tobacco than ever before in our history. We have made emphasis in learning as a team and revamping our approach toward tobacco education. Every member of our large family has such an understanding of the leaf to make them the greatest among any team of rollers in the world. Armed with their knowledge and skill, our standards of quality have never been higher. Onward to a brighter tomorrow, to even richer traditions, to making history again and again, onward to The New Dawn.
Guillermo León, President of La Aurora
