MIAMI, FL - Miami Cigar & Company, the exclusive U-S distributor for La Aurora cigars, announces the wait is over for New York City. The new Guillermo León line, which brings a complex and medium-to-full bodied experience into the La Aurora marque, will debut in The Big Apple at a special dinner on Thursday, October 21. In addition to the cigars, the dinner will include hors d'oeuvres, Presidente Beer, Rum Zafra Master Reserve 21 year aged (named the best rum in the world this year), and a live jazz band. On hand for the festivities will be the La Aurora vice president himself, Guillermo León, to talk with attendees about his exciting new cigar.
The Guillermo León sports a
Habana wrapper grown in Ecuador, over a double
binder of both Corojo for strength and
Cameroon for sweetness. The fillers are from the Dominican Republic, Peru, Nicaragua and Brazil. The Guillermo León is offered in 4 sizes: a
Corona (5.5 x 42), a
Gran Corona (6 x 47), a
Belicoso (6.25 x 52) and a Gran
Toro (6 x 58). The MSRP, excluding state taxes, ranges from $7.60 for the corona to $9.80 for the Gran Toro.
"Obviously, this cigar is personal for me," said León. It is part of my family's legacy for the past 107 years. In this cigar, I wanted something with deep complexity yet also a stronger smoke than most of our offerings. I think this is something that will please today's smokers."
On Friday, October 22nd, select cigar stores throughout the city will get to sample the Guillermo León line. Señor León and Rene Castañeda, VP of sales for Miami Cigars, will be in attendance.
