La Aurora Preferidos 1903
This tobacco factory (manufactory) was founded in 1903, making it the most traditional and oldest one in the Dominican Republic, still under the management of the founding family, León Jimenes. The Preferidos line recalls the Perfecto format, which laid the foundation for the highly successful company in 1903. All three sizes are characterized by a meticulous selection of the used tobaccos, an exceptionally long and multi-stage aging process, and the outstanding craftsmanship of the Torcedors (cigar rollers).
The tobacco is aged "normally" for at least three years, and then it spends another six months maturing in old oak rum barrels. Out of the total 120 rollers, only six Torcedores are capable of rolling this extremely difficult format.
The unique blend for the filler of La Aurora Preferidos consists of four different tobaccos from the Dominican Republic. The binder also comes from the island, while the wrapper is a classic and elegant leaf from Cameroon. After the final quality control, the cigars spend another six months in an aging room lined with cedarwood to reach their full potential. The result is a complex and diverse array of flavors, with hints of earthiness, toasty notes, nuances of nuts, and a touch of cedarwood.
The "regular" variants were discontinued in 2014, and since then, Preferidos are exclusively available in tubes. Naturally, we had secured the remaining stock of the three discontinued vitolas, but they have since been completely sold out.
