La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

So I found a box at a B&M not long ago of some 100 Anos PC sized cigars that were wrapped Maduro. I have smoked a lot of Cien Anos cigars before and never seen a maduro. I bought the last two in the box, and he said he was out. This was a few weeks back, and today I was reading about the 100 Anos line and noticed that no where on the Interwebs did it mention the Maduro version of this cigar. Anyone have any experience or know anything about this? I am a huge fan of this line of cigars and would love to know how this cigar came to be.

My guess would be that it was just a darker color variation in the wrappers in that box. Could also have been fakes. Of course, there is always the possibility that you have yourself a couple very rare cigars.

Ask this guy. clicky He seems to be from La Aurora cigars.

Fake 100 Anos? I really doubt it. The wrapper is a Dominican Corojo, I've seen some Corojo so dark it appeared to be a Maduro. However, their was never a 100 Anos Maduro produced.

:ss Guys, we never did a maduro, who knows if one day we take the same binder and filler put on a maduro wrapper, lets see if it works, what happen with these is that we used a top priming and they were very dark, keep in mind that Maduro is one thing an Oscuro is an other, to be honest the Corona was the best in my humble opinion, if you can find them buy because there very unique, enjoy and thanks for all your support.:tu

Cool. thanks for the info. glad to see you on here!:ss

I think my comment was right on. I said that my best guess it was just a darker variation of the normal wrapper...

However, there is probably a reason the Cien Anos band was serial numbered. Remember, there have been fake Opus, Padron, etc. in the past.

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

I was simply responding to YOU about the chance of a FAKE.

The rest of the comment was directed at the OP. :)

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

SG, your on the money, the bands were put on to keep control, also that the consumer would know it's a limited editon, as I wrote before all good things in life come to an end.

I found a box of these with really dark wrappers and thought the same thing (maduro). Bought one and tried it, not so good.

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

That IS really dark. I'm sure la aurora can comment on the color but I didn't expect it to be THAT dark. Wow.

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

I will also say the veiny-ness of this particular one is RIDIC, maybe it just slipped by QC.

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

SG, it's Oscuro wrapper from a top priming, you have to remember that wrapper gets darker when you age, I am a big fan of aging.:)

Wow that one has been at the B&M for a while. My last box was in the 90's.

DB, yours are about three years old, smoke on a great day.

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

Will do, thanks so much for making great cigars, I am enjoyin a Gold Tubo right now (cooking some wagyu beef steaks :-P)

Re: La Aurora 100 Anos Maduro?
 

The 100 Anos wasn't available in the 90's. :confused:

Oh, and it doesn't look like a maduro to me. Just a nice oscuro that it is. Enjoy! They be good! :ss

I think he meant the code number was in the 90s
