La Aurora 107 Toro

Today we have the La Aurora 107 in Toro.  This cigar has an oily milk chocolate colored wrapper with a few visible veins spanning the entire length of the cigar and has invisible seems.  It comes in at 5 1/2 X 54.  After lighting, the draw is slightly snug bur producing good smoke output.  The draw flavors are fairly bold black pepper flavor and tingle sensation.  The retro-hale sees some black pepper tingle sensation and sweet cedar notes come through.  The finish is dried fruit, cedar, a smoked wood note.  The black pepper flavor comes in late on the finish.  The body is at a medium and the flavors stay on the palate into the next draw. The burn line is even and construction is excellent so far.

Two inches in and things stay the same with some slight differences.  The draw is still producing good smoke out put.  The retro-hale has stayed the same.  The draw flavors have seen the black pepper die down as far as the tingle sensation although the flavor is still lingering.  The dried fruit is still on the finish, as well as some cedar.  Earth has come in now and is a main flavor on the finish.  A leather note shows up every now and then but earth is the remaining flavor.  The body is at a medium to full and the flavor are staying on the palate longer.  The burn is still even and no construction issues so far.

Three inches have passed.  The cigar is starting to change a bit.  The draw continues with good smoke output.  The draw has now seen a sweet cedar and tobacco notes move to the forefront.  The finish has earth, cedar, leather, and now a sweet caramel note comes in and out every few puffs.  The cigar is much more complex than I originally thought it was going to be.  The body is at a medium to full. The burn is still even.

With just under two inches left to go, the cigar is getting warm and mushy.  All that remain is a chard tobacco and leather note.  I sat the cigar down for the last time at the 1 hour and 20 minute mark.  A great smoke time for a 5 1/2 inch toro.
