Quick Smoke: La Aurora 107 Maduro Robusto
27 Jun 2015
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.â€
The review I composed of this Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped smoke in 2013 wasn’t exactly scathing, but it wasn’t glowing either. Ever since, I’ve found the La Aurora 107 Maduro Robusto (4.5 x 50) to be excellent. While I’m not sure if my initial samples were duds, every Robusto I’ve had since has been much, much better. Whereas my first impression was of a smoke that’s coarse and hot with a few combustion issues, now this cigar tastes smooth, complex, pleasant, and creamy with a core of pepper, cocoa, and coffee. I’m glad I decided to give this well-constructed, $7 specimen a second chance.
Verdict = Buy.

Dear friend,
I have always thought that every single cigar deserves at least two chances. I’m glad you have given a second one to our 107 Maduro Robusto. Indeed it is a very good cigar and not expensive at all. In this line I rather prefer Corona shape. You should try… Twice! Thank you for the recommendation! BEst regards
