Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I'm thinking of buying the 5 pack sampler:

I searched this forum and found 2 reviews on the Emerald and it was rated high by both smokers...

Anyone try the others?

I've smoked the Ruby and really liked it. It is a excellent maduro. I also like the 1495 series and have had the pleasure of smoking a 100 Anos. In my opinion you can't go wrong with any of those.:2:tu

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

100 Anos is in my top 2 NC club, I rate them higher than any other aurora. They are fresh, what an Opus X can sometimes become with age. Definitely would be my choice.

never tried...

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I dig the 1495 series. Never had any of the Preferidos.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

The Emerald and the Gold(Corojo) are my favorite from the sampler.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I guess you already read my review on the emerald, I liked it a lot.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I'm a fan of the Ruby (maduro). That being said, they don't exactly offer a great bang for your buck.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

The Emerald is my fav!

the 100 annos is amazing...just had one last night...stellar

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

Bought one of these last year. They are too pretty to smoke. That being said, I haven't had a La Aurora that I didn't like yet.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

:tpd: I've only had one of these but it was great. definitely worth a try.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I like La Aurora. The 100 Anos are my favorites, but the 1495 series is pretty good as well. :dr

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I've only had the Emerald, but I would spring for the sampler (if I were you)!!!:tu

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I think you got it from me? :r

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I'm a big fan of the 1495, never had the preferidos before

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

I like the em all but I lean towards the emerald most often. 100 anos seem to only get better the longer I let them rest.

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

They are very good Try the 5 pack sampler, I think you will enjoy them.:D

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

Had a 1495 tonight, not a bad smoke. I think I could get to like them.

Have had the Platinum tubos before, they were pretty good, but I thought they were overpriced.

Several of the regular La Aurora line, both cameroon and maduro wrappers, those too are a decent smoke for the money.

And I picked up a box of the regular La Aurora in a petit corona size, first one out of the box was also a pretty good smoke for times when you don't have a lot of time.

I've only had one I didn't care for, a La Aurora Escogidos that I picked up a 10 pack of cheap at CI. The first one I had was pretty good at the start and about half way through, I couldn't keep it lit. I'll give the other nine some more rest and try one again.

All in all, I'd say La Aurora's seem to be a pretty good choice for me so far.

Funny you post this. I ordered a box of these last week at CI. They are only $64 right now compared to $104. A steal if you ask me. Over at Famous, if you buy a box of any perfs, you get this sampler as a freebie!

I've only had the red maduro. It was yummmmy. I know I'll enjoy each one of these.

I'm scared to death to see how much La Aurora's are going to cost after April 1st. I'm half tempted to buy a blind box of them....

Re: Any fans of La Aurora?
 

To follow up on my previous post, I did indeed buy a box of Ruby's after smoking the ruby in my treasure box sampler. The box purchase came with another treasure box so I'm in hog heaven.


They need to rest and dry out a bit. The emerald in my sampler had the onset of mold.

I can't stress enough the steal that Famous is offering these at. If you ever were curious about trying these but afraid of the price tag, get em now. The MSRP goes for $428 a box and they are trying to dump them at $277 plus the treasure box as a freebie.
