La Aurora Barrel Aged Belicoso

The art of crafting a unique cigar involves an innovative aging process. By storing aged tobacco in vintage oak barrels previously used to hold Dominican rum, a remarkable transformation occurs. The barrels don't infuse the tobacco with rum flavor, but rather accelerate the fermentation process, resulting in a distinct flavor profile. This technique has been partially used before, but to age every component of a cigar in such barrels is a novel approach. The Belicoso stands out as a premier example, boasting a robust, dense, woody flavor accompanied by a hint of mocha on the palate, making it one of the top-tier cigars, rivaling the acclaim of the 100 Años, a landmark release from 2003.
