La Aurora ADN Dominicano

The ADN Dominicano contains a very special kind of Dominican tobacco. Commonly known as andullo (an-doo-yaw), this process takes tobacco and places it inside palm tree pods, at which point it is bound and then pressed until a paste-like pile of leaves comes out months later. Extremely rare, and ultra labor intensive, this unique cigar making style originated in the Dominican Republic, and is known for adding strength, aroma, and sweetness to a well-balanced cigar blend.

In this case, the result is a spicy, woody cigar that melds pleasantly with hints of sweetness that segue into a graham cracker finish. This smoke is one hell of a great burner too, with a flawless draw producing columns of smoke.
