This sampler box packs 5 cigars showcasing La Aurora's signature blends - the ultimate playground for curious smokers. At just $31.50 for a 5-pack, you get three Dominican tobacco variations: Connecticut 1987's creamy approachability, Corojo 1962's spicier kick, and Maduro 1985's chocolate-dipped finale. Each torpedo-shaped stick measures 5"x50RG, with strength levels spanning mild to medium-full.
The Connecticut shade wrapper opens with toasted cashews and faint vanilla - milder than your typical Dominican puro. Smoke output stays moderate, with ash holding firm for about an inch. Watch the burn line though; the Ecuadorian binder sometimes causes slight canoeing.
Brazilian Maduro delivers its promised punch: molasses sweetness collides with black pepper spice. This is where Nicaraguan fillers flex their muscles, creating a tug-of-war between earthy coffee grounds and sudden cinnamon spikes. Keep your retrohales short unless you enjoy nasal fireworks.
Corojo's Dominican-Nicaraguan blend steals the show here. Leather notes emerge alongside bitter dark chocolate - a classic "last inch reward" scenario. The Nicaraguan binder leaves slight tingle on lips, though none of the sampler cigars cross into harsh territory.
Rolled in Dominican Republic's Cibao Valley using their signature pilón fermentation - think tobacco leaves stacked in wooden piles for 180 days. The Connecticut 1987 blend specifically uses Peruvian leaf for acidity balance, a trick learned from Cuban exiles in 1980s Miami operations.
