La Aurora USA have announced the release of La Aurora Small Batch, a new, limited-edition line featuring some of Master Blender Manuel Inoa’s rarer works. The first of these releases will be La Aurora Small Batch Lot No. 002, which is aged 15 years. Subsequent releases will be unique and possibly feature different blends, vitolas, etc.
“As we make room to explore new blends for our consumers, we are excited to share some of our favorites from Manuel’s past work.” said Guillermo León, President of La Aurora. “In each blend, Manuel demonstrates his experience, talent, and commitment to providing quality products to both new consumers and cigar aficionados.”
“Small Batch is a series that is very special to me. Not only because I created each release, but it is literally in the name. These cigars will only ever exist in small batches: each release features distinct tasting notes, with some having been aged up to 19 years, and are unable to be blended and rolled in large scale quantities,” said Master Blender, Manuel Inoa. “Lot No. 1 was the same blend in a short salomon format, but not available in the U.S. as it sold out immediately in the Dominican Republic. For that reason, we wanted to make all 222 boxes of Lot No. 002 exclusively available to retailers in the U.S. market.”

“Lot No. 002 is particularly dear to me as it features the salomon shape, which is one of the most difficult to roll, and we entrusted only our most expert rollers to craft it,” said Manuel. “With the presence of wood notes throughout the 60-minutes smoke time, it makes for a great pairing with strong coffee in the mornings to start your day, or a premium rum or cognac at the end of it.”
