Quick Smoke: La Aurora 100 Años Preferidos

18 Aug 2012

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.”


My picture doesn’t quite do it justice, but believe me when I say you’d be hard-pressed to find a prettier, more noble-looking cigar than the 100 Años Preferidos by La Aurora. This Dominican puro has a beautifully executed perfecto format (6 x 58) and a silky, caramel-colored corojo wrapper. It starts with a ton of dry cedar and then transitions to a creamier profile with plenty of corojo spice. Only 300,000 of these cigars were made, and not many are left. If you find one, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick it up, even though the price tag is north of $15.

Verdict = Buy.

    300k sounds like a lot of cigars. Seems like we're often reading about how only 1000 boxes of this or that were produced. Makes it tough to assign a (personal) long term value of a limited release.

    We just did a blind cigar review of this on Blind Man's Puff. It scored a 91, great smoke!
