Description

In 1495, Christopher Columbus sailed to the Dominican Republic, where he arrived to the fertile valley of Cibao - home of today's finest Dominican tobaccos - founding the city of Santiago de los Caballeros. La Aurora's 1495 Series honors the foundation of this city with a medium to full-bodied blend that could be the factory's greatest accomplishment to date. Combining a complex, but patiently aged, blend of Dominican Corojo and Dominican-seed ligero grown in Nicaragua, the 1495 is adorned with a marbleized Ecuadorian-grown wrapper leaf that's thick and toothy. Chewy hints of leather and spice excite the taste buds with smooth flavours.La Aurora 1495 Series received a well-deserved 92-point rating, noting: "Dark and oily with a strikingly even burn. It starts out with a mineral sweetness, then progresses to a balance of spice, coffee bean, and wood."
