  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

la aurora preferidos gold
the 2nd of the 5 that i'm reviewing.

the gold tube


med. feel,sweet cocoa smell


cut and torched.
nice creamy cocoa flavor right off the bat. tastes like hot chocolate powder mix,which i really like


nice draw,burn could be better,plenty of smoke.
no bite at all on the retrohale,got a bit of cinnamon after taste,could be nutmeg


ya know it's not always easy finding a hat to match the band...lol


1/3 in and it's still creamy with a spice kick and a sweet cedary tasting tobacco.
great draw,burn is improving,lot's of cool tasty smoke in every puff


halfway with the same great flavors providing the enjoyment.
burn is improving on it's own,but i'm keeping the lighter close just in case.
nice and creamy with a little nutmeg zing happening


3/4 and it's straightened up and flying right now.
lot's of cocoa flavor along with the nutmeg and cedary tobacco taste.
it's turning out to be a little stronger that i thought it would be when i started.
very solid flaky grey ash fell right after this pic


last couple of inches with even more spice action.
cocoa is still there,but not as creamy. tobacco has more of a woodsy taste.
great draw,much improved burn,plenty of smoke


nub finished with a spicy kick,woodsy tobacco and light cocoa flavors.
it went from mild at the start to medium full at the finish.
less than an hour to smoke,i wouldn't turn down the chance to smoke another one.
Zilla,that's not what a fan club is buddy,please don't run down the batteries...


hope you enjoyed the review!

Thanks for the review.

I had a very similar experience with this cigar. All of the La Aurora Preferido Tubos are good smokes, worthy of every penny.
