La Aurora 107 (Robusto)

[macsauce13]

First third: This is a good looking cigar, with a dark wrapper, lots of veins, but nothing that looks like it should affect the smoking. The prelight draw shows a very nice draw which if anything, was a bit too easy. The cigar lights up easy and gets off to a quick razor sharp burn. This is the second 107 I have smokes and this one has some work to do to make up for the first one. The initial flavors give off a deep woody flavor with a bit of spice and a charred taste that ruined the first cigar for me.


Second third: The construction of this cigar appears to be very good, but I was experiencing some major wind while smoking and thus had to touch up the burn a few times to keep it smokable. This cigar shows hints of floral flavor but the dominated flavor is a burned, charred taste. It is exactly the same as the first cigar I had, and for me it makes it very difficult to smoke. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that keeps me drinking a lot of water.

Final third: I let this cigar go out right around the middle of the band because I just can’t enjoy the flavor. The burned, charred taste overwhelms the rest of the cigar, and makes if difficult for me to enjoy.
I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on this cigar as I wonder if this is a taste that is pleasant to others and just not to me!
