A special version of the La Aurora Cien Anos has arrived at Burns Tobacconist shops located in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. The shop has is the exclusive recipient of the La Aurora Cien Anos Lancero Cameroon. As the name indicates, it will feature the iconic Cien Anos blend, but with a Cameroon wrapper and in a lancero format. The La Aurora Cien Anos Lancero Cameroon is currently available at the retailer’s East Chattanooga, Downtown Chattanooga, and Cleveland stores.
According to Burns Tobacconist, the concept of the project was born last year when Nestor Miranda and Jason Wood of Miami Cigar and Company (the distributor in the U.S. for La Aurora) visited Burns Tobacconist. While there Burns Tobacconist owner Mike Hunter told them how much he loved the Cien Anos blend and how he wanted to work on a special size. Following the visit, Wood visited the La Aurora factory and discussed it with Master Blender Manuel Inoa. Inoa wanted to do something new and different, and this led to using a wrapper La Aurora is most familiar with – Cameroon.
