The first glance: A feast for the eyes!

The flavours alternate between spicy and nutty, while the smoke remains in the room in a pleasant way.

Before we light this beauty, let our eyes wander over the silky smooth, medium brown wrapper. A construction almost straight out of a picture book, even and well-formed. But wait a minute, what's that? A suspiciously soft spot near the foot? Well, nobody's perfect, are they? Is there any tobacco missing? Will the cigar smoulder well? Questions upon questions flood my synapses and make me restless! But wait a minute! There was only one cigar with this characteristic. I tested three. And this spot didn't harm the glow at all, nor did it harm the enjoyment. So, take it easy Vasilij, take it easy! 😅

The first cold draw tickles my nose with earthy and slightly dusty notes - a promising start!

The two anillas are produced to a high standard and fit perfectly with the overall appearance of the cigar.

Lighting the fire: Fire free!

Lighting is child's play and works perfectly.

Lighting the La Aurora is child's play and the first puff shows that the draw is perfectly adjusted. The burn is even and the strength? Just right, not too light, not too strong. The first five minutes are like a gentle foreplay: the flavour is subtle and pleasant, exactly what you would hope for from a relaxing evening. 😜

Fruity notes dance on the tongue with a hint of bittersweet cocoa.

The full smoking pleasure: A flavour journey

La Aurora Escogidos unfolds its full potential during smoking. The flavour is mild and floral in the first five minutes, almost like a walk through a blooming garden. Fruity notes dance on the tongue with a hint of bittersweet cocoa. The top note is subtly sweet, accompanied by a hint of cedar - a real feast for the senses!

The intensity increases and I experience a beautiful intensity of flavour: grassy nuances mingle with the deep aroma of coffee beans. An experience that unfolds like a perfectly composed symphony, with every note in its place. Oh boy, I shouldn't be writing more flowery now, should I?

The course of enjoyment

The enjoyment of this cigar is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions - and I love every second of it! The flavours alternate between spicy and nutty, while the smoke remains in the room in a pleasant way. La Aurora remains exciting and intense until the end, which makes the smoking experience unforgettable. Yes, it remains almost linear. That's actually quite ok if you like that in a cigar or for the right moment of enjoyment. And it's not really ok either.

A must for every humidor and a perfect companion for quiet evenings or social gatherings.

Conclusion: A pleasure for every cigar lover

The La Aurora Escogidos is a cigar that both beginners and experienced aficionados will enjoy. From the flawless construction to the pleasant draw and the flavours - it offers everything the heart desires. A must-have for every humidor and a perfect companion for quiet evenings or social gatherings.

So, dear friends of good smoke, grab yourself a La Aurora Escogidos and let it enchant you. See you next time and stay smoky!

I hope you had as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

A cigar test is subjective. The flavour of a cigar is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the mood of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room influences the flavour experience. The flavour nuances described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.
