La Aurora 107

Ecuador

The moment a box of La Aurora 107 Ecuador is opened, smokers are greeted with a cold draw that brings back the feeling of standing in a garden or wild meadow surrounded by fragrant flowers. Imagine that sensory experience even before you light up the cigar and start enjoying it for real. The highly recommended, highly rated and highly reviewed La Aurora 107 Ecuador was given a 91 from Cigar Aficionado and routinely shows up in best-of lists around the globe. While many have discussed La Aurora’s 107 Nicaragua, which was also released to rave reviews, its Ecuadorian counterpart seems to have withstood the test of time. Not only does it age beautifully in a humidor, but it’s good enough to sell out almost instantaneously whenever we get it in stock. Comprised of Ecuadorian Sun Grown Sumatra Seed wrapper, binder from the Dominican Republic’s Cibao Valley and filler from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru, the tasting profile here is one of baked goods, caramel, pepper and spice. Imagine going straight from the meadow into a revered patisserie. That’s why the 107 Ecuador is so incredibly popular. The oily red sheen of this cigar makes for a beautiful display and will catch the eye of whomever you’re sharing this smoking experience with. And, because the cigar is generously packed, a good session with this cigar will push two hours. Pair it with a smoky bourbon or juicy red wine, but first give yourself a moment to just appreciate the incredible complexity of this lineup and the interplay of all the tobacco. La Aurora, in celebrating 107 years in the business with this line and pushing to use 107 tobaccos from around the world, shows that it’s not just the Dominican brand we have all known and loved for more than a century. While we sometimes stereotype certain brands and pigeonhole them into certain flavors, the 107 Ecuador shows, plain and simple, that La Aurora are crafters of fine tobacco. Period. No matter where it comes from. Get your box from Cigars.com today while supplies last. These tend to move quickly given their consistent and enduring love from reviewers everywhere.
