Leon Jimemes Cigars
Dating
from 1903, Leon Jimenes is one of the largest cigar producers
in the Dominican
Republic. Besides making their flagship brand they also produce
the La
Aurora brand. Both of these fine cigars are made from Cuban
seed tobacco.
The
Leon Jimenes brand has a full_bodied, rich taste with a Connecticut
Shade wrapper. The La Aurora brand has a mild_ to medium_bodied
taste with a dark, rich Cameroon wrapper. Both are of magnificent
quality.
The attention to detail
that goes into Leon Jimenes Cigars is truly a testament
that goes to their love of cigars. Every leaf is cut at the ideal
moment, and even then, nine out of ten are ruthlessly rejected
in a quest for perfection. Every leaf is carefully aged, sometimes
as long as three years. Only the highly coveted and rare Cameroon
leaf is used for the wrapper, and deliver a fuller, sweeter flavour
and aroma. Leon Jimenes Cigars are totally hand
made, using only long filler tobacco and the best part of
each selected leaf. To ensure consistent quality, rollers are
allowed to make only a set number of cigars each day.
This kind of care and craftsmanship is why each and every Leon Jimenes and La Aurora cigar is an original and deeply satisfying experience.
