La Aurora has announced a limited production run of the La Aurora 120th Anniversary Lancero. This cigar made its debut in 2024 as a part of the La Aurora Releasing Limited Edition Lancero Collection.
“The 120 Aniversario represents not only a major milestone for La Aurora, founded in 1903, but a major milestone for the La Aurora, USA business, as it was our first official launch as a new business entity and the line now represents one of our best-selling brands,” says Ed McKenna, La Aurora USA CEO in a press release. “We’re excited to offer the blend now in the Lancero vitola, as it is a format that our team in Santiago de Los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, executes particularly well.”
A total of 750 20-count boxes of the Lancero were produced for this initial run. The cigar itself comes in a 6 7/8 x 40 format. The cigar is expected to hit retailers in mid-summer. Pricing comes in at $18.00 SRP per cigar.
“Entrusted to only our most seasoned rollers, the lancero is a format I have come to love due to the challenge in crafting each blend. Blender and Roller must work hand in hand to ensure a flawless product, and this collection defines the La Aurora brand and the quality for which it stands”, added Manuel Inoa, La Aurora Master Blender. “Furthermore, the lancero necessitates less filler, and as a result, each blend takes on a life of its own that differs in nuanced ways from the other formats in the line, making for a truly unique experience to share with others.”
