La Aurora, the oldest maker of cigars in the Dominican Republic, is releasing La Aurora Puro Vintage 2014 at the PCA trade show next month in Las Vegas. This is the latest in an annual series of releases that began 16 years ago, in 2008.
The cigars are made in the Dominican Republic from a blend of tobaccos from five countries. The fillers are from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Nicaragua, the binder leaf is Brazilian and the wrapper is Ecuador Havana. It was blended by La Aurora’s Manuel Inoa. All the tobaccos used in the cigar date back to 2014.
The Puro Vintage is a shapely figurado known as a Salomon, 6 1/2 inches long with a 60 ring gauge at its fattest point. It has a suggested retail price of $26.50, and comes in boxes of eight. Production is limited to 1,000 boxes, and shipment to cigar stores is expected to commence in the middle of April.
La Aurora Puro Vintage cigars have received mixed results in Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider blind tastings over the years, with scores ranging from as low as 85 points (the Puro Vintage 2007) and as high as 92 points (the Puro Vintage 2003).
