La Aurora 120th Anniversary

The 120th Anniversary is La Aurora’s all‑Dominican celebration cigar—built from Cibao Valley tobaccos with a Dominican Habano ’92 wrapper, an Olor binder and a filler blend of Piloto Cubano, Olor and Corojo. Strength lands around medium‑full, and the profile moves from cedar and baking spice (cinnamon and a touch of anise) into sweeter territory—cocoa, creamy coffee and vanilla—with honeyed fruit and rich earth arriving later. The limited Preferidos 6 x 58 double‑perfecto received special tubo/coffin presentation and shows slightly more layered transitions in tastings. Reviewers did note occasional construction or burn unevenness in some production runs, so the line rewards attention to pace but offers a clear, all‑Dominican flavor statement when it’s firing properly.
