La Aurora Cigars Preferidos 1903 Edition Double Barrel Aged

La Aurora Preferidos Double Barrel Aged Perfecto (Tubo)

Cigar Aficionado · Jun 9, 2026 · Cigar Insider

There is a sheen of oil to the richly-hued cover leaf of this blimp-like, classic-looking perfecto, which burns and draws evenly, forming a solid, tapered ash. Sweet notes of oak and rum emerge, with some underlying fruit, minerals and spice. The minerality recurs on the finish.

La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Edition Double Barrel Aged (2026)

Halfwheel · Jun 7, 2026

First things first: the La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Edition Double Barrel Aged does not taste specifically like rum, so if that is what you are looking for, this is not the cigar for you. Having said that, there is quite a bit to like about the cigar, including main flavors of creamy oak, coffee beans, powdery cocoa nibs and creamy nuttiness. There is also some wonderful sweetness on the retrohale that ranges from rich raisins to milk chocoalte—depending on the cigar—and the medium-plus strength is nicely integrated. Having said all that, the flavors in the profile do become noticeably less engaging in the final third, enough to affect the overall score, but not nearly enough to prevent me from enjoying the cigar. Even with the underwhelming conclusion, this is a very solid release from La Aurora, and I look forward to trying it again in a couple of years to see if some downtime helps alleviate the issues in the final third.
