Founded in 1903, León Jimenes started as a simple cigar factory, La Aurora, in the Dominican Republic and has since risen to become the largest in the country. As they''ve grown, so too has the quality of their many lines of cigars, now known around the world. One of the highest quality and most recent renown is the Pueblo Dominicano.
The rising popularity and success of the Pueblo Dominicano cigars lies in its marketing, or rather, lack thereof. With what could be called a ''grassroots'' movement, La Aurora chose to let their work speak for itself, and speak it did. Word of mouth has made the Pueblo Dominicano one of the consistently top ranked cigars amongst aficionados.
Hand rolled by some of the most experienced crafters in the industry and aged for 5 years, the Pueblo Dominicano series I is released in limited quantities each year and highly sought out by smokers the world over. They offer a powerful yet smooth aroma and boasts a complex peppery flavor to nicely balance the sweet, creamy draw. Whether it''s the Ambassador or the Torpedo, expect a mild to medium smoke that you won''t soon forget.
The Pueblo Dominicano series II Belicoso line is a pure Dominican cigar, from blend to wrapper, given just as much time and attention as its predecessor. It offers a smooth, sweet draw with a hint of spice that gives way to a stronger, more full bodied flavor that won''t overwhelm. A great smoke worthy of the name.
