Last Shipment of Aurora 100 Años Cigars
Posted: Thursday, April 12, 2007
By David Savona
Tax day, April 15, will also be the date when the final
shipment of Aurora 100 Años cigars is released to the
market. The highly regarded cigars -- the Belicoso size was
named Cigar Aficionado's No. 2 cigar of the year in January
2005 -- have scored very well in Cigar
Aficionado and Cigar Insider taste tests. Only
400,000 were made. They have been rolled
and released in small batches since 2004
rather than all at one time.
The bands of each of the cigars are
individually numbered, and La Aurora
S.A., the cigarmaker that created the
brand, began by releasing the higher
numbers, working down.
"The numbers are really getting low,"
said Jose Blanco, Aurora's director
of marketing.
They won't go all the way to No. 1
however -- the box containing that cigar
is being saved by the company. "We're
keeping No. 1 for the museum," said Blanco.
