La Aurora 110th Anniversary Corojo No. 4 (Corona)
Corojo wrapper, Sumatra Binder, Dominican Piloto Cubano filler

It starts off with that trademark earthy corojo falvor and a musky sweetness from the Sumatra binder. It develops a bit of leather way in the back ground. The darker earth of the Dominican Piloto Cubano adds a nice foundation under the corojo's earth and wraps around the sweetness of the Sumatra. It makes for a very pleasant full flavored team that leaves a nice finish on your tongue. It is a very satisfying and comforting flavor that is so good in part because it doesn't become too complex to pull the elements apart. As the cigar burns nutmeg comes in and gives it a flavor profile that seems like it should come from a more full bodied smoke. Occasionally a vanilla bean type of flavor pops in and out to produce a very nice counterpoint and complete the profile. The last third also sees the appearance of some hints of nuts and spice. These have been sitting a month and continue to get better every time. This has become one of my favorite cigars at any price point.
