La Aurora Cigar Factory

Miami Cigar & Co.’s TAA 2024 release was the same as its 2023 release. However, the 2024 release didn’t begin shipping until January 2025.

Announced in 2003 to celebrate the company’s 100th anniversary, the 100 Años was La Aurora’s first cigar made entirely of Dominican tobacco. Over the years, the company has continued to make the cigar, but 20 years after its debut, it’s returning as a regular production item with new 20-count boxes.

The first review of the La Aurora 115th Anniversary Limited Edition Gran Toro generated a score of 92. After five-and-a-half years, it’s time to revisit the cigar.

After a few delays, the Fratello Pocahontas is now shipping. It is limited to 200 boxes and was only offered to retailers that placed orders during PCA 2024.

Each sampler contains five different lanceros, two of which have never been released before. Only 500 samplers are available for the U.S.

This is the first TAA 2024 ESP cigar to be announced, but it won’t ship until next year. Miami Cigar & Co. also used the Groovy Blue Belicoso as its 2023 TAA release.

The new sizes are designed for a 10-15 minute smoke, ideal for when time is limited or the weather is less than ideal. They can also be smoked right from the tin with no need to clip a cap.

Tatiana’s releases have generally been flavored and on the smaller side of the vitola spectrum. With Delights, the company goes into bigger sizes that aren’t flavored, but keep a sweetened cap.

Whereas most Tatiana cigars are offered in smaller sizes, Delights is debuting with Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 50) and Churchill (7 x 50) vitolas.

La Aurora says these 5 25/32 x 58 toro gordos are 19-years-old.

The cigar is a nod to the original Preferidos #1 and its distinctive packaging.
