La Aurora Preferidos Double Barrel Aged Tubo
La Aurora Preferidos Double Barrel Aged Tubo
La Aurora gave its Double Barrel Aged Preferido a fresh identity in 2026, separating it from the earlier 2016 release with an all-new blend built around barrel influence rather than wrapper color alone. This 5 x 54 double figurado is rolled in the brand’s signature tubo presentation and uses an Ecuador Habano wrapper over a Pennsylvania Broadleaf binder with fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf.
The aging process is the story here. La Aurora ages the binders and fillers in rum barrels, then returns the rolled cigars to those same barrels for an additional 90 days under the supervision of master blender Manuel Inoa. That extra time contributes a profile centered on oak, dark sugar, spice, and a subtle rum-like sweetness rather than overt flavoring, giving the cigar a fuller, more mature character. Smoked at an unhurried pace, the 5 x 54 perfecto generally offers about 60 to 80 minutes.
The tubo adds a distinctive presentation that has long set the Preferidos line apart while also making this cigar especially suitable for gifting, travel, or keeping a single premium smoke protected until the right occasion. For smokers drawn to fuller-bodied Dominican-made cigars with a measured barrel-aged accent, La Aurora Preferidos Double Barrel Aged Tubo brings a classic house format together with one of the brand’s more unusual modern blends.
