This chunky 4x58 short robusto brings Dominican craftsmanship with a bold twist. La Aurora's 107 Maduro Sumo packs USA-grown maduro broadleaf wrapper around Dominican/Nicaraguan/Peruvian fillers - think espresso kick meets nutty sweetness. At $7.67 per stick (box of 21 for $161.10), it's your ticket to full-flavored smoking without breaking the bank.
Pre-light nose shows damp earth and molasses. Cold draw tightens up - needs proper punch cut to open chocolate raisin notes.
The maduro wrapper shows visible tooth - oil sheen becomes sticky when humidified over 65%. Dominican Olor binder keeps burn rate steady, while Peruvian filler adds gritty texture some find distracting. Rolled at La Aurora's Santiago facility by 15-year veterans.
Works best as morning smoke paired with cold brew coffee. While not hitting the complexity of high-end maduros, delivers reliable flavor punch for broadleaf fans. Box purchase recommended - singles can show construction inconsistency.
