While medium-bodied, La Aurora's entry in the Famous Private Selection 70th Anniversary is full of rich flavor and aroma. Of course, you'd expect nothing less from the company that brought us Cien Años and Preferidos. Under its flawless Connecticut wrapper resides a blend of Dominican, Brazilian, and Nicaraguan tobaccos, aged to perfection. The result is a creamy, rich-tasting smoke dominated by sweet spice and cedar flavors. Add this affordable limited-edition cigar to your collection today!

The Famous Private Selection 70th Anniversary by La Aurora Toro is a toothy, khaki brown with very clean seams, firm and well made; nice to hold and look at. It is heavy in the hand, and has tasty aromas of bright tobacco and a slight earthiness on the cold draw.

The first third is smooth tasting; almond and buttery notes, pleasant and almost floral aromas followed by a clean dry finish. It has notes of oak leaves and light leather.

The second third gets chewy with flavors of leather, oak leaf, a slight nuttiness, and a bit more intensity. The finish is dry, with some dusty notes. The aromas are subtle, lightly cedary, and smooth.

The final third is still chewy, leathery and oak-leafy with lightly sweet tobacco notes, lightly salty, and fragrant. The finish is lingers nicely on the palate, and is clean and tasty.

A mild to medium body in this smoke would be a good choice with morning coffee or a pilsner type beer after work.

I rate this cigar 5 out of 10 in strength.
