At the prestigious gala dinner of the Procigar Festival 2025, La Aurora auctioned a masterpiece designed and crafted by Livi León, a member of the fourth generation of the León family. Inspired by La Aurora’s rich family history, she created a piece that reflects the brand’s legacy and tradition since 1903.
From its inception, La Aurora has been synonymous with innovation and quality in the world of Dominican tobacco. Each generation has left its mark, preserving the commitment to craftsmanship and honoring the roots that gave birth to this iconic house. Now, Livi León continues this journey, blending her family heritage with a contemporary vision that pays tribute to the past while shaping the future.
This humidor is a true work of art that encapsulates La Aurora’s history and excellence. Livi León infused her personal touch into every detail, ensuring that its Spanish Cedar interior enhances and preserves the unique aromas of each cigar, elevating the connoisseur’s experience. It contains 152 Small Batch cigars aged for over 17 years, offering an exceptional smoking experience. These cigars are no longer in inventory, providing access to an exclusive selection unavailable on the market.
She drew inspiration from the richness of artistic patterns passed down through generations, capturing their essence in every detail. The exterior of the humidor is crafted from exquisite mahogany, marupa, and saman woods, enhancing its elegance and character. From the selection of raw logs to the final masterpiece, each stage of the process is a testament to dedication and masterful craftsmanship.
The presentation of this humidor Auctioned for $28,000 at the Procigar Festival 2025 marked an unforgettable moment, reaffirming the León family’s significance in the industry and the continuity of their legacy across generations.
As is tradition every year, the funds raised will be donated to charitable causes, supporting nonprofit organizations such as Voluntariado Jesús con los Niños, which provides medical care for sick children, and Hospicio San Vicente de Paúl, a retirement home for elderly individuals from low-income families. Additionally, the auction of this humidor continues to contribute to a noble cause, ensuring that its impact transcends the world of tobacco and benefits those in greatest need.
