Quick Smoke: La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Edition Diamond

16 Jan 2016

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

Diamond

Encased in the perfecto-style tube that distinguishes this high-end line, the Diamond smokes as good as it looks. A dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, a Dominican maduro binder, and Dominican filler combine for a rich, thick, tasty smoke with a pearl-white ash. The Diamond, often called “Black” after the tube color, is fairly small (5 x 54). The only real negative is the hefty price, which runs about $18-$20 individually, though I’ve seen it as low as about $12.50 when purchased by the box of eight. Worth the money, especially as a celebratory stick.

Verdict = Buy.

    I have a Chicho’s Choice Diamond that I’d forgotten about until I saw this review. It’s a bit thicker at 58, but is supposed to be silky smooth regardless. It has moved up in my To-Smoke queue after reading this review.
