What end do you smoke on a La Aurora?

The cut end should be the foot IIRC.

The orientation of the band is no different than most any other cigar. When you hold the cigar upright to read the band, the head should be at the top, the foot at the bottom.

Lastly, when in doubt, look at the wrapper leaf and how it overlaps. Cigar wrappers are applied starting at the foot and finishing at the head, so the "flap" of the overlap is toward the foot of the cigar.

If all else fails, punch the bastid in the middle and light both ends.

Ha! I have done that before with a Flor de Oliva Maduro because it sucked. Everyone at the table dared me to do it. It sucked even worse. I believe WhoDeySchenk has the pictures.

Me too.

I used a Gurkha perfecto. (What else was I supposed to do with the POS? )

It got hot really fast, but at least it didn't explode.
