La Aurora: A Legacy of 120 Years in Premium Cigars
La Aurora cigar company is a name synonymous with premium quality cigars. Established in 1903, the Dominican based company has long been recognized as one of the most respected names in the cigar industry. October 2023 will mark the company's 120th year of making premium cigars, making them the oldest cigar company in the Dominican Republic.
Throughout its 120-year history, La Aurora has continued to produce some of the finest cigars in the world. From classics like the La Aurora 1495 series to more modern creations like the 107 line, La Aurora cigars have consistently been praised for their quality, flavor, and complexity.
In 2010, La Aurora introduced the 107 range to commemorate not only the 107th anniversary of their brand but also to shine a light on the finest tobaccos from different regions. The 107 line offers a medium to full-bodied flavor with a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco leaves that are hand-rolled into a beautiful wrapper of Ecuadorian sun-grown tobacco.
The 107 line is just one example of La Aurora’s commitment to blending the best tobaccos from different countries to create unique and complex flavors. This commitment to quality is evident in all of La Aurora’s lines. The La Aurora 1495 series is another excellent example of the company's insistence on using only the finest tobaccos. This series features a blend of tobacco from four different regions, resulting in a multi-layered and complex flavor profile.
In addition to creating high-quality cigars, La Aurora is also known for its innovation within the industry. In 1936, the company became the first in the Dominican Republic to manufacture and export handmade cigars. The brand was also one of the first to introduce a cigar line dedicated to the female smoker, the La Aurora Principes line.
Another notable achievement by La Aurora is the creation of their “ADN Dominicano” tobacco, a unique hybrid of tobacco, developed through cross-breeding and experimentation with different strains. This special tobacco offers an unparalleled aroma, flavor, and complexity, which is why it is used in some of La Aurora’s most exclusive limited editions like the “Cien Años” and “Puro Vintage” lines.
La Aurora’s commitment to quality and innovation has not gone unnoticed, the brand has received numerous awards over the years, including a rating of 90 points (out of 100) from Cigar Aficionado for the 107 line.
Overall, La Aurora has been a cornerstone in the cigar industry for 120 years. The brand has continued to innovate and create some of the finest cigars in the world. With their unwavering commitment to using only the best tobaccos from different regions, La Aurora's cigars offer complexity, flavor, and quality that has placed them at the pinnacle of the premium cigar industry.
