Famous Pvt. Sel. 70th Anniversary by La Aurora cigars at Famous Smoke Shop

By Hayward Tenney

Famous Smoke Shop's 70th Anniversary cigars commemorate seven decades of guaranteed-fresh cigars at the lowest possible prices. This week cigar smokers can focus on La Aurora's entry: Any box purchase gets them a free 5-cigar La Aurora sampler (a $32.10 value) and free ground shipping.

Part of my job is doing blind tastings of new blends we're working on, and this blend reached my desk in February. I actually found myself begging our General Manager for just one more, like some kind of cigar junkie.

Under its flawless Connecticut wrapper resides a blend of Dominican, Brazilian, and Nicaraguan tobaccos, aged to perfection. Delicate flavors of pepper and cream lap the palate, transitioning to reveal cedar and sweet spice.

With a medium body, and depth to spare, this is a perfect any-time-of-day cigar. I generally prefer a fuller-bodied smoke, and even I can't imagine a better way to start the morning.
