La Aurora Unveils Small Batch Lot No. 003 at TPE 2024

La Aurora is set to showcase its third release in the Small Batch Series, Small Batch Lot No. 003, at the upcoming TPE 2024 trade show in Las Vegas. This new addition to their Small Batch Series is a toro gordo, measuring 5.78 x 58, and features a blend that includes an Ecuadorian wrapper, dual binders from Cameroon and the Dominican Republic, and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Peru.

Each cigar in the Small Batch Lot No. 003 series will have an MSRP of $13, with the production limited to 400 boxes, each containing 10 cigars. A notable aspect of this release is the significant aging process, with the cigars having been aged for 19 years.

Manuel Inoa, La Aurora’s master blender, emphasized the uniqueness of the Small Batch Series. He highlighted that each release in this series is distinct, featuring specific tasting notes and complex profiles that are not replicable on a large scale. Lot No. 003, according to Inoa, offers a medium to full-bodied experience with a creamy smoke and notes of pepper, leather, and cedar.

The Small Batch Series from La Aurora features various blends, each released in limited quantities. While the first release was exclusive to the Dominican Republic, Lot No. 003 will be available solely in the U.S. market. The company has also hinted at a future release, Lot No. 004, which is expected to be announced later in 2024.
