La Aurora Barrel Aged Robusto (Box of 25)

     The secret behind La Aurora Barrel Aged is not just the aging process, in which all of the tobaccos used to create this cigar are patiently aged for four years in oak barrels used to create Dominican Rum, but also the wrapper. The Dominican Corojo is a rare leaf, one that took years to perfect and yields a ton of rich, chewy flavors. La Aurora took this leaf one step further, introducing it to several fermentation processes, to give it a maduro shade. This further mellows the blend, allowing it to tame the complex mixture of Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers inside. La Aurora Barrel Aged is a medium-to full-bodied cigar layered with rich tobacco flavors. A sweet spice is noticed upon first light and towards the nub, with a rich, chewy, and toasty bouquet in between. The burn is slow and true, completing another ultra-fine specimen from the Dominican’s oldest factory, La Aurora.
