La Aurora Original Blends, also in honor of its wrappers

Ir a Español

To celebrate its 113^thbirthday, La Aurora created three blends that are both new and, as the name suggests, original: La Aurora Original Blends cigars. Specifically, there are three types of cigar dedicated to the years in which their corresponding mixtures came into use and also to highlight the wrappers that surround them: La Aurora Cameroon 1903, La Aurora Corojo 1962 and La Aurora Connecticut 1987.

The best way to make a wise choice is to have a detailed knowledge of each of these cigar’s features and smoke:

Cameroon 1903

This a medium body cigar that offers a pleasant flavor to the smoke, where we can highlight the sweetness of its spicy cinnamon notes, together with a touch of cocoa and other wooden and red citrus fruit notes, which endure throughout the smoke.

La Aurora Cameroon is named after the African country where the tobacco used in its colorful and glossy wrapper was cultivated. More precisely, in the east side of the country, right where the deepest jungle of the continent beings. Today, this cigar’s wrapper is still a seed from Cameroon, but it’s cultivated in Ecuador.

To that Cameroon wrapper, we add a binder from Ecuador and a filler with a mix of tobaccos from Valle del Cibao (Dominican Republic) and Nicaragua, which results in a well-balanced classical blend that provides an aromatic smoke. It also has a wide variety of formats and ring gauges:

• Churchill Aluminum Tube: 7” long and ring gauge 47
• Churchill: 7” long and ring gauge 47
• Cetros: 6 ½” long and ring gauge 42
• Cetros Crystal Tube: 6 ½” long and ring gauge 42
• Belicoso: 6 ¼” long and ring gauge 52
• Gran Toro: 6” long and ring gauge 58
• Toro: 5 ¾” long and ring gauge 54
• Corona: 5” long and ring gauge 38
• Robusto: 5” long and ring gauge 50
• Robusto Aluminium Tube: 5” long and ring gauge 50
• Sublime Aluminium Tube: 5” long and ring gauge 39

Corojo 1962

In this case, that combination of tobaccos from Valle del Cibao (Dominican Republic) and Nicaragua, which form the filler of the cigar, and tobacco from Ecuador in the binder, is complemented by a wrapper of Dominican Corojo seed tobacco. What does the wrapper bring to this line? New shades and perceptions that make its smoke very distinct, while preserving good flavor and aroma.

Thanks to all the components in its blend, this cigar is elegant and creamy due to its notes of roasted coffee, but also features a touch of spice interspersed with notes of flowers and leather, always over a basis of wood and nuts. In addition, it provides average to strong honey sensations throughout the smoke.

In this line, La Aurora offers six models:

• Churchill: 7” long and ring gauge 47
• Cetros: 6 ½” long and ring gauge 42
• Gran Toro: 6” long and ring gauge 58
• Toro: 5 ¾” long and ring gauge 54
• Robusto: 5” long and ring gauge 50

Connecticut 1987

Finally, La Aurora 1987 has a Connecticut wrapper, cultivated in the shade, on a Dominican tobacco binder and a Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco filler. All this makes for a well-rounded cigar in the mouth, also with wooden notes, which appear at the start of the smoke, as well as a touch of very creamy coffee and notes of nuts. Its touches of red citrus fruits that cover this excellent smoke cannot be neglected either.

• Churchill: 7” long and ring gauge 47
• Cetros: 6 ⅜” long and ring gauge 41
• Gran Toro: 6” long and ring gauge 58
• Toro: 5 ¾” long and ring gauge 54
• Robusto: 5” long and ring gauge 50
