Meet the La Aurora Fernando León Family Reserve Belicoso - a 6.25"x52 figurado packed with 15 premium sticks per box. Priced at $375, this medium-bodied dominican beauty honors the legacy of former La Aurora president Fernando León through its extra-aged Corojo wrapper and four-country tobacco blend. The box-pressed pyramid shape delivers dense smoke perfect for slow weekend sessions.
The initial draws release roasted almonds and black pepper through medium-thick smoke. Dominican earthiness emerges at the 1" mark, accompanied by baking spices. Burn stays razor-sharp despite the box-pressed shape.
Smoke output doubles as espresso notes take center stage. Leather undertones develop alongside a molasses-like sweetness. The ash holds strong for 2" before dropping - typical of well-aged Dominican filler.
Mineral complexity shines through cedar and black cherry notes. Nicotine strength creeps up to medium-full territory. Smart ash-tapping prevents tar buildup in the final inch.
Blended using Dominican Piloto Cubano filler from San Vicente Valley and Olor binder leaf. The Habano 2000 wrapper grows under Ecuadorian cheesecloth for optimal elasticity. Rolled at La Aurora's 120-year-old factory, these limited editions show textbook Dominican balance between sweetness and spice.
