After a variety of delays, the first La Aurora 15 Minute Break has arrived in stores. Originally announced as a December release, the Guillermo León by La Aurora 15 Minute Break is a 3 1/2 x 42 Petit Corona sold in cardboard boxes of five with an MSRP of $24.75 per box.

According to Miami Cigar & Co., La Aurora’s U.S. distributor, the cigar has arrived in approximately 35 retailers already and will begin appearing nationally in the coming days. Last week, Barry Stein, assistant director of marketing for Miami Cigar & Co., indicated that the cigars were likely a March release.

La Aurora has made the 15 Minute Break size in other blends, including the 1495 for the international market, but as of now Miami Cigar & Co. is mum on any other lines for the U.S. market.
