The La Aurora 1903 Corona serves up Dominican craftsmanship in a sleek 5x37 parejo format, packing medium-strength flavors into its compact frame. This box-pressed cigar comes 20 to a bundle at $121.50, delivering consistent construction with an Ecuadorian-grown Cameroon wrapper that's all about that sweet-spicy balance.
First Third: Cinnamon-dusted cedar dominates with a sugary backbone, producing medium smoke volume. Ash holds firm with minimal correction needed.
Middle Section: Cocoa powder emerges through the spice, accompanied by subtle tartness resembling dried cranberries. Burn line stays razor-sharp despite the 37 ring gauge.
Final Third: Earthy undertones develop without overwhelming the core sweetness. Ends clean at nub stage with minimal tar buildup on lips.
The slightly oily wrapper shows minimal veining, with visible tooth in direct light. Triple cap peels cleanly without unraveling. Draw resistance sits at Goldilocks zone - not too open for such a slender vitola.
