Each year, the current president of La Aurora, Guillermo Leon, took some of the best tobacco set aside for the Leon Jimenes brand and rolls a batch of special cigars for his father, the former president, Don Fernando. His father enjoyed the cigars so much that he rarely smoked them. After a few years, he recommended to his son that they sell the extra. He posited that they didn''''t get into the family business to simply smoke cigars, but to make and sell them for the enjoyment of his loyal customers. And thus the ultra-rare Leon Jimenes Don Fernando came to market, though only in extremely limited quantities to a handful of suppliers.
Leon Jimenes Don Fernando is simply one of the finest cigars made, utilizing the best tobacco from the Dominican Republic, hand-rolled by expert craftsman in the oldest cigar factory in the world. The Don Fernando is fill with a secret blend of Dominican tobacco and wrapped in the highest of the highest quality Cameroon, the same wrapper used in the popular Preferido line. Like all Leon Jimenes cigars, the tobacco has been aged an extra three years. And the tobacco in the Don Fernando has been aged several years even longer.
The body is full, though the taste is medium. The extra-fermented tobacco adds a terrific complexity to the smoke. Mixing wood and nut with a dash of pepper as only the master blender, Guillermo Leon, can do in loving tribute to his father. Leon Jimenes Don Fernando is available in one vitola, the No. 4 corona. If you want to experience the best, look no further. |
