Its great to be back to reviewing cigars and for my first review of 2011 I’m reviewing the relatively new La Aurora Broadway Series. Currently the Broadway is available in one size, a Sumo Toro (5.75 x 54) and features a double wrapper of Ecuadorian-grown, Sumatra-seed and Nicaraguan leaves, a Dominican Corojo binder and filler tobaccos grown in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru. The La Aurora Broadway Series is only available from tobacconists in New York for $12.75 (price includes NY 75% tax).
The La Aurora Broadway Series proved to be a flavorful treat. The core earthy and cedar flavors are hard to compete with and the sprinkling of spicy notes was a bonus to my enjoyment. I like the concept that La Aurora and Alec Bradley are doing to help the cigar scene in New York and I hope other manufacturers do the same. The $12.75 price tag seem about right for the Broadway and I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up more. With that being said, if the industry wants to show even more support, they should try to keep these edition out of the double digit price range.
Hi Jerry,
Nice to see you back…roll on springtime!
Cheers
Great review man. I wish someone would make a really low cost cigar for New York smokers that is as good as these higher priced ones. I feel sorry for the New Yorkers!
You are a better man then I. I do not think I could tolerate doing a review outside up there in the cold. Good times!
Thanks for the shoutout Jerry.. NYC has a 75% tobacco tax, if it wasn’t for the tax these would retail for about $8.50 each.
Great reviiew in the cold Jerry. Do you have a trusted New York B&M shop phone # ?
Nice review Jerry. Looked cold but at least you enjoyed the cigar.
Appreciate the NYC love, Jerry. Of course, what I’d really like is a tasty NYC B&M exclusive cigar that’s affordable as well. Is that too much to ask? Can I get a CAO La Empira? Or Oliva Serie NYC? That NY cigar tax is no joke.
Good to see you back Jerry. Nice review on the Broadway. I guess 25 can’t be TOO cold, you lost the hat half way through the review. lol
Good to hear that you liked the Broadway, and that you enjoyed NYC. They don’t call it The Big Apple for nothin’! NYC, and NY in general, need more cigar exclusives.
