La Aurora Puro Vintage 2003

La Aurora Puro Vintage is an exceedingly rare cigar (only 12,000 cigars were created) crafted into a beautiful Salamone shape. The Puro Vintage wrapper, an oily, leathery Ecuadorian leaf boasting a lovely reddish hue. This exquisite wrapper hugs a bold mixture of Cuban-seed Dominican long-fillers secured by a Dominican binder. Best of all, every leaf - from filler to wrapper - was cultivated in 2003 and enjoyed a cedar-aging process of five years prior to rolling. This produces an intense variety of chewy, leathery flavors. A touch of spice and cedar complement the medium-bodied core, which is buttery smooth from start to finish.
