The Dominican Republicâs oldest cigar factory â La Aurora â has introduced the Excepcionales, a 5 3/4-inch by 48-ring robusto that has been produced in just 100 boxes of 50.
Thatâs not very many cigars to go around, so the Excepcionales will only be sold in cigar stores on the island of Manhattan â New York City!
The cigar comes unbanded and features Dominican-grown wrapper, binder and filler leaves plus a little Nicaraguan-grown leaf in the filler to add balance. The wrapper is Corojo and the cigar is full-bodied. It will retail for $13 each, plus local sales and tobacco taxes. In New York, that makes the out-the-door price a hefty $15.45 per cigar.
Michael Herklots, the general manager of the Davidoff of Geneva store at Columbus Circle, helped develop the blend while working with Manuel Inoa, the factory manager at La Aurora over the past six months. He reports that the blend was introduced last week at Fumee, a new cigar store in the Washington Heights area of New York. Itâs in the center of the Dominican section of the city, so the guests were more than ready to try the new Excepcionales, enjoy some Rum Zacapa and plenty of good food
