Meet the La Aurora Original Blend Cameroon 1903 Toro - a 5¾"×54 box-pressed parejo with Dominican-Nicaraguan guts wrapped in Ecuador-grown Cameroon leaf. At $150 for 20 sticks, this medium-bodied smoke delivers a spice-cocoa-wood trilogy that'll make you forget your morning coffee. The real magic? That glossy Cameroon wrapper practically winks at you before lighting up.
The cold draw whispers cinnamon sugar. Upon ignition, it's all baking spices and cedar cabinets - like walking into an old library that doubles as a pastry shop. Smoke production stays modest, perfect for nose exhales.
Earthier tones emerge - think damp forest floor after rain. Cocoa powder joins the party without overpowering the citrus zing. Burn line holds razor-sharp despite the 54 ring gauge.
Leather and white pepper take center stage. Retrohale reveals hidden caramel notes. Strength creeps up to medium-full near the nub. Pair with mineral water to combat nicotine buildup.
Grown in Ecuador's Los Ríos province using original Cameroon seeds. The volcanic soil gives that signature reddish hue to the wrapper. La Aurora's rollers use a unique "entubado" bunching method for optimal airflow in this thick ring gauge.
