Let's dive into La Aurora's celebration stick - the 120th Anniversary Preferido. This figurado-shaped beauty comes in 6"x58 format, packing medium strength with Dominican tobacco soul. Priced at $349.99 per box of 10, it's limited edition perfection rolled into a double-tapered perfecto.
Cedar wood and roasted almonds greet you through the velvety smoke. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper delivers a subtle black pepper kick that tingles without overwhelming. Burn line stays razor-sharp, requiring zero touch-ups.
Dominican Piloto Cubano binder shines here - think dark chocolate bitterness balanced by caramelized sweetness. Cinnamon spice builds gradually, like a warm embrace. Smoke output increases slightly, coating the palate.
Surprise mineral tang emerges alongside espresso grounds. Leather notes appear but stay refined, avoiding harshness. Construction holds firm despite the 58 ring gauge, no tar buildup through the nub.
Blending Dominican Cibao Valley filler with Indonesian Sumatra binder creates volcanic soil complexity. The 5-year aged tobacco gets hand-bunched in Santiago molds - La Aurora's signature pressed technique ensures perfect draw.
