“I have smoked La Aurora 100 anos as well as the Leon Jimenes cigars and they are fantastic. I knew these babies would not disappoint. (La Aurora 2nds) Sure enough they were such a pleasure to smoke. I would put them up against many top quality cigars. To me the only imperfection is that this fine cigar doesn't have a label (goes to show you the high standards La Aurora requires) and for the price...man I feel like I'm stealing them. Try one thats all I have to say. Thank you CI and La Aurora”
“These are really wonderful cigars (La Aurora 2nds)! I ordered the Robusto size and was expecting half of them to be too tight on the draw or too soft etc. There was not a bad cigar in the 15 ct bundle. The flavor is delicious with hints of caramel and my better half really enjoyed the room note. O and then there's the price. I am reaching for my top shelf sticks less and less as i can have 4 of these for the price of my other sticks and the flavor is as good if not better..”
“These (La Aurora 2nds) are a great cigar. You guys called it, they really do taste and smoke like firsts. The biggest difference is of course the great price.”
“Bought these to add my homemade labels for a relatives wedding out of the country. They were fantastic...smooth, great even burn, slightly sweet finish. The one drawback was trying to light them with matches on a windy night in Aruba. Would recommend.”
“This is an outstanding cigar and deal (La Aurora 2nds). Just got done with my first bundle. It took me all of a week. This has become my go to cigar. Great flavor and very well constructed. It is a great anytime cigar.”
“Like you, I was extremely skeptical, but was surprised to find this cigar to be a very tasty stick for the money - Honest. Burns and draws perfectly and has plenty of earthiness and a fair amount of cameroon. I'm ordering my second bundle now.”
“My morning coffee loves this cigar. As does my wallet.”
“Ok, not sure what the buzz is all about these cigars. Smoking the sixth one right now of the bundle and I have to tell you that not one of them has been good. I've had three with poor draw, one with bad burn (I.e.a canoe like I've never experienced before) and the one I'm smoking now, the wrapper has unraveled from the light up. As far as the flavor goes, not enough to keep my interest. I've smoked a lot of cigars in the past ten years or so and never had this many issues with one brand, or one bundle in particular before. Bad luck? I don't know Just saying that I'm not pleased with these cigars. Not going to buy these again.”
“Wow!! I just got a bundle of these in the mail today and I'm smoking one as I type. This is great! easy draw great smoke and flavor, perfect burn. I inspected everyone of mine and I didn't find one issue at all. Amazing steal!”
“Great price. I have had issues with the wrapper unraveling and the rare plugged cigar. I can live with the occasional defects. They taste great, though they are not the prettiest stogies in the humidor. I'll continue to buy them as long as they are available.”
“I ordered a bundle of these seconds about two weeks ago. Since then, I've smoked six of 'em, and each one has been great! A wonderful, mild-to-medium bodied smoke with a tasty Cameroon wrapper. Yeah, some of 'em may look a little rough, but who cares?!”
“Delicious smoke! Improved in the humidor to a slower more mellow burn. I think the seconds rating is mainly due to the looser rolling of these ... they smoked a little fast for the size. If you want full body you have come to the wrong cigar. Mellow, smooth, mild, with enough flavor for me. When I want a full bodied smoke that is still smooth, I go with a Punch Maduro. These would also be a great smoke for new comers. Thanks CI for the great price on a great cigar!”
“Just got a bundle of the #4 yesterday. I've already smoked two and am very pleased. It is a nice flavorful mild smoke with hints of many different flavors. I usually smoke robustos, but try to keep some corona sized cigars around for shorter smoking times. I've found the new "go to" in that category. Excellent value if you don't care about bands, boxes and perfect wrappers. I'm gonna stock up on these!!!”
“Ordered them on a weekend they were shipped with the cheap service on Monday arrived that Wednesday. I love them and the only issue so far is the wrapper but it is well worth the price, plus a dollar a stick if u ask me.”
“I ordered these off the factory 2nds page, seemed like a good deal, only $1.20 for a corona sized La Aurora..paid the priority mail rate because I found they get here in a very short time and don't have to spend up to ten days in the UPS system and are ready to smoke right out of the box. If resting in the humidor improves these cigars, then they really are a great bargain. True, they might look a little veiny, but the taste was really great,especially for the price. These will definitely be my 'go to' cigar when I am wanting a more mild cigar with plenty of taste. The #4 is a good corona size smoke that lasted an hour with no re-lights. What more can I say? Great value for the price, you should definitely give them a try if you are looking for a smoke that won't break your wallet. For me, the best value in a mild-medium smoke. Thanks CI, you keep making me a happy camper!!”
“Arrived In Good Shape, Very Satisfied With My Purchase. :)”
“Great inexpensive cigar, I hate to use the word cheap because there is nothing cheap about them. I have smoked 3 bundles of the #4 and recently purchased 3 more.... I have never smoked a bad one. Get them when they are in stock because they sellout fast and it takes a few months before CI restocks.”
