Long, thick, and balanced, this potent giant offers up notes of chocolate, wood, earth, red pepper, and hints of coffee. Its Ecuadorian wrapper and binder cover a Colombian, Dominican Republic, and Nicaraguan filler. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic. The La Aurora Hors D’Age La Stravaganza uses 12-year old tobacco. Once rolled, this behemoth of a cigar is allowed to age for two years prior to being released. This lengthy aging process allows the tobaccos’ flavors to meld and develop the cigar’s unique flavor profile. The La Stravaganza is 20 inches long (that’s more than one and one-half foot long) by an 80-ring gauge (which is one and one-quarter inches in diameter). Now! that’s huge. Clear your calendar before lighting up this big guy because you are going to need some time to smoke it.
