LAST SHIPMENT OF AURORA

100 AÑOS CIGARS

BY DAVID SAVONA

Tax day, April 15, will also be the date when the final

shipment of Aurora 100 Años cigars is released to the

market. The highly regarded cigars—the Belicoso size was

named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 2 cigar of the year in January

2005—have scored very well in Cigar

Aficionado and Cigar Insider taste tests. Only

400,000 were made. They have been rolled

and released in small batches since 2004

rather than all at one time.

The bands of each of the cigars are

individually numbered, and La Aurora

S.A., the cigarmaker that created the

brand, began by releasing the higher

numbers, working down.

“The numbers are really getting low,”

said Jose Blanco, Aurora’s director

of marketing.

They won’t go all the way to No. 1

however—the box containing that cigar

is being saved by the company. “We’re

keeping No. 1 for the museum,”

said Blanco. â–

I've had a couple but never really "got it" on this cigar.

The first batch of belicosos changed my life.  I love these things.

This one is in my top 5.  Great cigar.

I've only tried one, I've heard other guys in the smoke shop rave about them, I'll pick up another one and try it in a couple of months.

Just picked up some robustos... I think they are a fantastic cigar.  Best La Aurora cigar to date.

old post - but these have to be one of my favorites to smoke.

 

the packaging, the history, the band and - of course - the quality of the cigars are top notch
