Size: 6 1/2″ x 52
Vitola: Torpedo
Wrapper: Dominican Corojo
Origin: Dominican Republic
From the Vault: The Leoninos line, from La Aurora, features a Dominican-grown Corojo wrapper that is a nice departure from the normal Corojo wrapper.
The cigar has a nice reddish brown color (Colorado). I clipped this, and it had a fairly firm draw, which is typical for most La Auroras.
This cigar has real good flavor, undercurrents of spice, rich with a strong coffee flavor. Halfway down there was also a bit of woodiness present and it is slightly dry on the palate. It was medium-medium full with some spice, mostly white pepper.
This really was pretty good cigar. My only real complaint was the burn a little uneven.
