La Aurora 107 Ecuador Zeppelin

The Aurora 107 Zeppelin is a cigar that celebrates 107 years of expertise in cigar craftsmanship by the La Aurora brand. This uniquely shaped cigar is composed of a sun-grown Ecuadorian wrapper, a binder from the Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic, and a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobaccos.

Tasting notes

Starting with a rather dry aromatic palette at the beginning of the tasting, this Zeppelin proudly evolves towards scents of leather, cocoa, and roasted coffee.

Its black pepper finish leaves a pleasant aftertaste in the mouth.

Pairing

To accompany its cocoa and coffee notes, we are happy to be seduced by a dark beer such as Nøgne Ø Imperial Stout, which will highlight the cigar's creaminess.

Momentum

From the very first puffs, the La Aurora 107 Zeppelin reveals flavours of mixed nuts and wood, accompanied by a slight earthy touch. As it burns, the cigar develops increasing complexity with aromas of cocoa, leather and coffee, while maintaining a good balance between sweetness and spice.

The smoke is generous and the cigar burns rather well despite its unusual shape. The grey ash that forms quickly reaches the band.

The puffs are delicious, and halfway through, roasted aromas begin to emerge. The roasted nuts gently give way to a peppery finish that adds a little extra zest to the tasting experience.

We warmly recommend this cigar to any enthusiast who, for the duration of a cigar, wishes to challenge their preconceptions somewhat.

The cigar anecdote

An unusual shape, a small spiral tail, a beautiful double band, and a perfectly oily wrapper. This little cigar has everything the big ones have.
