From the Stogie Guys comes a review of a new cigar, coming soon to W. Curtis Draper Tobacconist, the Guillermo Leon by La Aurora Gran Toro.

Overall the Guillermo Leon Gran Corona is a very interesting cigar with flavors that progress and change creating an interesting and often intricately subtle smoking experience. The cigar is decidedly medium in strength, but full in flavor and demands your full attention, or some of the more nuanced flavors could easily be missed. – Patrick Mize, StogieGuys.com

Drapers will feature La Aurora 107 and Nestor Miranda Special Selection Dominicano cigars.  Enjoy these specials:

Nestor Miranda Special Selection Dominicano: This is the follow up to Nestor’s first release and is the first foray into Dominican tobacco by master cigar maker Pepin Garcia. While the filler and binder are Nicaraguan, the Dominicano shares the same wrapper that was used on the La Aurora Cien Anos cigar. The Dominicano is a medium to full bodied smoke with impeccable construction and a slightly sweet finish.

La Aurora 107: The 107 was created in honor of La Aurora’s 107th Anniversary making cigars in the Dominican Republic. Guillermo Leon and Jose Blanco created the La Aurora 107 blend with an Ecuadorian wrapper, a Dominican binder, and a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Medium bodied with a slight peppery finish, this is a very balanced cigar which is sure to please your palette.

Miami, FL — 11, July 2010 — Guillermo Leon and Nestor Miranda, in conjunction with W. Curtis Draper Tobacconist, Washington, DC’s oldest continuously operated tobacconist, will play host to the Congressional Cigar Association at a reception in the nation’s capitol on Tuesday, 20 July.

While the event is a first for Leon and Miranda, the CCA holds quarterly events where manufacturers of premium hand made cigar educate the group on cigars, the manufacture of cigars and the various aspects of the industry.

At the reception in July, Leon will focus on his recently introduced La Aurora 107©. The cigar commemorates the 107th Anniversary of La Aurora’s founding. The company, part of Grupo Leon is the oldest cigar maker in the Dominican Republic. Introduced in May 2010, the 107 has been an instant success, much as La Aurora’s Cien Año, Preferido and 1495 Series.
