Quick Smoke: La Aurora 100 Años Preferidos

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

This large, rare, limited edition perfecto (6 x 58) is the combination of two of La Aurora’s most exclusive lines: 100 Años and Preferidos. It features an oily Dominican corojo wrapper surrounding Dominican binder and filler. After a creamy start with woody flavors, it soon develops some classic corojo spice. The well-balanced, medium-bodied smoke ends with a long, smooth finish. Construction is flawless. Despite its $16 price, this is an excellent value and an excellent example of the fine cigars La Aurora produces.

Verdict = Buy.
