In particular, the comparison of different wrapper leaves (for example, Ecuadorian versus extra-aged Dominican Corojo) and binder leaves (such as Cameroonian versus Dominican Olor) highlights the influence of the choice of binder and wrapper leaves on the overall character of a cigar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_jarra_back_side-624x936.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1708\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar.jpg 1708w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-667x1000.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/la_aurora_120_aniversario_edicio_n_especial_belicoso_cigar-624x935.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1708px) 100vw, 1708px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lancero format (ring gauge 40 for the Guillermo Le\u00f3n and the classic slim format for the 120 Anniversary) has a higher ratio of wrapper to filler tobacco due to its small diameter. Due to its design, this means that the influence of the wrapper and binder on the smoking characteristics is more pronounced than with larger ring gauges such as the Toro (ring gauge 54).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceramic jar provides a stable environment for storage, maintaining a constant level of relative humidity. Unlike unvarnished wood, ceramic does not impart any of its own aromas or release moisture, and therefore does not affect the ageing process of the cigars through the influence of foreign wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"titel-aus-pr\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited editions for specialist retailers in Switzerland: 100 cases and 100 bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u00abPrime Collection\u00bb comprises ten cigars in five different sizes and tobacco blends. The selection covers various historical periods and blends from the manufacturer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>120th Anniversary Lancero (Limited Edition):<\/strong>&nbsp;A slim-format cigar with a Dominican Habano \u201992 wrapper, an Olor binder and a filler blend of Piloto, Cubano, Olor and Corojo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Guillermo Le\u00f3n Lancero (6 7\/8 x 40):<\/strong>&nbsp;It is made from an Ecuadorian wrapper, an African binder from Cameroon, and filler sections from the Cibao Valley, Nicaragua and Peru.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fernando Le\u00f3n Belicoso (6\u00bc x 52):<\/strong>&nbsp;It combines an extra-aged Corojo wrapper with a binder from Ecuador and a filler blend from Peru, Brazil, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>La Aurora 100 A\u00f1os Belicoso (6\u00bc x 52):<\/strong>&nbsp;A Figurado creation in which the wrapper, binder and filler are made entirely from tobaccos from the Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hors d\u2019Age Toro (6 x 54):<\/strong>&nbsp;It uses a wrapper and binder from Ecuador, as well as filler tobaccos from Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside this, the \u00ab120th Anniversary Belicoso\u00bb is being released in a ceramic jar. The jar is designed to hold 20 cigars. The blend contained within corresponds to the tobacco composition of the 120th Anniversary range, featuring a Habano \u00ab92 wrapper and a Dominican Olor binder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"quelle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Source: Based on information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oettingerdavidoff.com\/de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oettinger Davidoff<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mehr-zum-thema-auf-zigarren-zone\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out more on this topic at Zigarren.Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/terroir-zigarren\/\">Terroir Cigars \u2013 Soil, climate and tobacco cultivation explained simply<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/zigarren-blend\/\">Cigar Blends \u2013 What Really Makes a Great Blend<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"fotos\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provided by<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dominican cigar manufacturer La Aurora is expanding its range on the Swiss market with two limited-edition special releases.
