La Aurora 107 Robusto

June 19th, 2023: There are several varieties of 107 Robusto. This one comes with no embellishment on the label, so I assume that it is the Ecuador wrapper; certainly not the Nicaraguan. I bought a box of 21 in April and have smoked four at the time of starting this blog entry. The first one was delicious. The other three were good, but body was a bit thin compared to the first with the exception of the final third in the fourth, which I smoked last night, which was quite potent and complex. 

Aroma, on the other hand, was exquisite in all cases. The fourth cigar that I tried became quite intense and delicious around the final third. I smoked it well into the nub. 

Compared with the short robusto, the robusto, a classic 5 x 50, is a little stronger, richer and more intense. All of the La Aurora cigars that I have smoked have burned and drawn excellently. 

July 3rd, 2023: Excellent example of the blend: smooth, rich, complex and medium body throughout. Flavour is a savoury, medium roast coffee. I didn't detect spice or pepper. The flavour was smooth and salty with a rich, toasty, aroma. Very satisfying. 60 minutes.

August 13th: Full bodied with excellent aroma. Burn and draw were perfect. Flavour was consistent throughout. Very satisfying: 55 minutes.

August 27th: A treat: delicious to the nub: medium to full bodied with a lovely, complex, sweet and savoury flavour and exquisite aroma. Very satisfying at around 60 minutes.

Good to the nub.

September 27th, 2023: a real treat. Delicious floral prelight aroma, excellent draw, full body with complex aroma. Very satisfying. 60 minutes.

December 19th, 2023: This one really tops the list of favourites: rich, complex, medium full bodied, good burn and draw, rich aroma. Very satisfying.

February 21st, 2024: Smooth after the first few puffs and consistently tasty, but only lasted 60 minutes. Quite satisyfing, but another 10 or 20 minutes would have been better.

March 4th: Delicious, smooth, complex and excellent balance. Medium plus. Perfect burn. Almost 70 minutes. Very satisfying. 

June 20th, 2024: Much like the previous. 70 minutes Very satisfying
