La Aurora Dominicana Short Robusto

Wow… This little cigar packs a real punch! Expect a vibrant and intensely flavourful experience with this Dominican Republic puro.

Its stunning gold band already hints at a delightful experience and encases a magnificent, well-tensioned ribbed cape. The pigtail finish adds a sophisticated touch to the whole.

Tasting menu

It opens with intense, toasty, earthy and woody notes. The initial taste is intense. A flawless construction produces a superb ash. The density of the tobacco is very pleasing, whilst offering a very comfortable draw that isn’t too tight. By the halfway point, the intensity begins to wane, but overall, the strength remains fairly consistent. A hint of liveliness emerges, with a pleasant acidity.

Notes

Toasted and smoky notes, with a lovely woody and earthy base.

Pairing

A chocolate-covered head for a bit of a throwback moment 🙂 But a dark spirit would go down a treat.
