La aurora sapphire

[ItalianCustom]

Has anybody ever had one of these? I received one for my forthcoming day of birth and never heard of it

Been a really long time but if I remember correctly none of the preferidos tubos are bad. They were just always quite expensive and not quite to my flavor profile so I never smoked many.

Nice, cant wait to try it

Wish I could help but am unfamiliar with the name. How about a picture maybe even a review so the rest of us know of we should be On the look out?

ThanX

IIRC, the Sapphire is the Connecticut wrap variant. It's a good stick, but not my favorite in the line. If you like it, I'd highly recommend finding the full size (Preferido #1) Ecuador/Emerald and giving that a go.

sounds like an awesome couple of smokes, I`ve had the maduro perferido and the price was my only complaint.

I've never tried any of them, but the Stogie Geeks are nuts over the Ruby one.

Supposed to be able to buy them in a 4-set online sometimes for cheap.

One of my all time favorite line. La Aurora makes one of the best cigars coming out of the Dominican. I always have some on hand and get them from CigarBid. My personal fave though is a toss up between the Emerald and the Platinum.

I need to try some of these... My aversion to perfectos has kept me away. Are there similar blends in other formats? I remember having a really good robusto preferidos a couple years ago, but I can't remember what the blend consisted of.

I think my aversion to prefectos started when I had a few Gurkha perfectos... Still haven't gotten over it.

Smoke it in the morning if possible, on a clean palate!!! It's a good smoke, just mild and kinda subtle, so a clean palate will yield better results. Oh, and take your time with it, this smoke falls into the "relaxing" category

The light of sapphire injection like a laser pens light dazzling.

Ha! Nj's right... though I sometimes smoke mine after dinner, on the patio, with a snifter of Frangelico.

I always have a box of the Emerald Tubos in stock. The Emerald is my favorite of the Preferrido line-up. Medium bodied, great subtle flavors, beautiful burn; about an hours smoke.

The Sapphire line is very good as well. Search for deals; be patient. When you see the tubos below $8/stick, grab 'em.

They make at least a couple of these in robustos (I know for a fact I've seen the emerald/ecuador and the ruby/maduro in robusto), but I didn't like them nearly as well as the perfectos. Robos run about $8 here, if I recall... preferidos #1 are about 13, and the shorter preferidos tubos are about $15.

These aren't a bad smoke.
