La Aurora Preferidos

[Smoked!]

I found the sampler at my local shop. Tried 'em and liked 'em, but I'm not sure about the pricing. I paid around 14 bucks each all told. It seems like there are quite a few good smokes at that price point and below. The packaging is very cool though.

On a related note, has anyone tried the TNT alternatives to this brand?

You can't go wrong with one of these. My absolute favorite is the emerald. At $17 it's a luxury smoke but I still try to have at least one a month.

Mr. Pollock you are a man among brothers…BOTL that is. I opened the front door today to find a box addressed to me. Inside was a nice little bomb from Dustin.

All I can say is THANK YOU!!! In fact I can’t say it enough. You really went above and beyond and I appreciate you taking the time to put together such a great sampler for me.

Cheers to you my friend

Have you had the maduro (ruby) cnb? I haven't and am interested in how it compares to the rest of the line.

Smoked a Aurora Preferidos “Sapphire” that Dustin was nice enough to hook me up with. What an interesting smoke, Very complex flavors. This smoke lit and burned well and even throughout. The first tastes I got from this stick were a Peppery, Spicy one. When I say spicy I mean like Hot and Spicy almost like hot sauce. I have never had this kind of a taste with a cigar before, it was kind of cool. I remember a while back Chris saying he smoked a stick in the bath and it made him sweat. Well that’s what happened with this smoke, it made me sweat! Also kind of cool, again I have never had a cigar make me sweat. By the way it was in the low 40s here today so I know it was the cigar making me sweat and not the weather.

After the first half of the cigar the spiciness turned into this cream kind of a taste. Strong but not harsh. What a GREAT SMOKE! What a GREAT experience. Thanks once again to Dustin for giving me the opportunity to experience this smoke. If you haven tried the “Sapphire” …Do so, it will not disappoint.

Ashauler, you said you have had the “Ruby” of this line, was the flavor as complex and strong as I experienced with the “Sapphire”

snip....Ashauler, you said you have had the “Ruby” of this line, was the flavor as complex and strong as I experienced with the “Sapphire”.

Um, sorry, but I said this:

I agree with your review regarding the complexity of the smoke, but the only smoke that ever made me sweat was the LFD double liegro chisel smoked early in the morning on a belly full of coffee.....the sweating was quickly followed by another form of fluid loss that I don't soon want to experience again.
