La Aurora Cien Anos

[fetterjohn]

I smoked a La Aurora Cien Anos Belicoso today. It's been sitting in my humidor now for over 6 months...it's time was up (have one more that will age another 4-6 months). Jealous? Should be!
It was a very good cigar...I've had this cigar before but only in the Rubosto size. That is also a very good cigar (have 4 more of these). Tons of flavor and lots of spice. I'd say it's medium bodied with so much flavor...did I say flavor already? The first few puffs were very spicy and loaded with leather and French roast espresso. From about the 1/3 point on, it smoothed out became very creamy with cocoa and dark coffee and the spice mellowed to pepper. Lasted like this until the end where I had to put it down to avoid burning my prescious fingers.

The construction looked spot on perfect...with one exception, a loose draw...looser than what I like. But it had a perfect point on the end and the wrapper was lovely. One slight vein than kinda intrupted an even burn...so just one touch-up. Overall...well worth the 2nd place finish in the "Best Cigars" of CA. I would age them a year or more for a much smoother and more perfect cigar. That's all...

Oh yah...while I was at this shop I picked a La Aurora 1849 robusto. Had to give one a try to see if it is as good as I hope. I'll let you all know after it rests for a few months...

I don't think you can handle the Cien Anos!!! Boy!! :sign: Just kidding...of course. I can trade a robusto. I can't get the belicoso any more...and I only have one left. PM me with what you have in mind.

Oh yah...and I don't want any of this snail mail crap...meet me at Dana Point Cigars. Let me know some dates you'll be down this direction (preferably in the daytime) and we'll trade and smoke.

I've been very impressed with the La Auroras I've had, great construction, burn, flavor, and strength.

I had two, smoked one. It was pleasant and sweet I thought. I have another one resting. I think they are overpriced. I think it should be about a 10 or 12 dollar smoke as opposed to a 15 or 16 dollar smoke.

They're expensive because this is the only time they will ever be made...100 year anniv. celebration. So as far as I know the belicoso's are almost gone for good...the other vitolas are to be found but are rare and in demand. They are fantastic!! :thumbs:
