La Aurora Cosecha 2007

Good solid stick. Nice draw, good flavors, tobacco seemed mature. The smoke production was light in terms of amount and thickness. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Some spice on the retohale but smooth, some floral, a little chocolate. Burn has improved at this point.

Floral, better smoke production, pepper and spice on the retro, chocolate and graham cracker, heavy spice on the final retro.

To me, cigars are about having a deep curiosity of the history of those who provide them to the world; full of complexity and beauty. Comparing notes on those stories is the point, preserved for who’ll come next. I simply can’t get enough of that. Otherwise, I’m a common man.
