La Aurora 120 Lancero (7 ½ x 40)

To honor 120 years of Dominican craftsmanship, La Aurora released this elegant Lancero, a vitola that demands precision both in rolling and smoking.

Appearance & Construction

The cigar presents with a silky, reddish-brown Habano ’92 wrapper from Ecuador, thin seams, and a firm but not tight pack. The traditional pigtail cap adds a classic touch.

First Third

Opens with cedar, sweet earth, and a touch of white pepper on the retrohale. The narrower ring gauge puts the wrapper in the spotlight, delivering a crisp, clean introduction.

Second Third

The profile deepens into dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and baking spices. A honey-like sweetness lingers on the finish, balancing the spice. Burn line is razor-sharp, typical of La Aurora’s meticulous construction.

Final Third

Flavors intensify with leather, espresso, and toasted nuts, layered over a subtle mineral quality that adds depth. The retrohale smooths out with warm spice and a touch of cream.

Body & Strength

Medium to medium-full, but never overwhelming. The Lancero format delivers refinement over power, rewarding a slow pace.

Overall Impression

A connoisseur’s cigar—elegant, balanced, and expressive of La Aurora’s Dominican heritage. The Lancero highlights the wrapper’s complexity, making it a fantastic celebratory smoke or a contemplative evening companion.

Pairing Suggestions

Best enjoyed with a single malt whisky, aged rum, or Dominican coffee to accentuate its natural sweetness and spice.
