La Aurora

La Aurora cigars come from the oldest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.

La Aurora was founded on October 3, 1903 by Eduardo León Jimenes, a hard-working son and grandson of tobacco growers. Without neglecting his family tradition, he decided to use his knowledge and develop a cigar brand with global reach. At the age of 18, the founder inherited some "Tareas" land and started with a small number of six employees, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of effort to realize his dream.

Today, more than 115 years later, La Aurora is a family-run business present on five continents, employing more than a thousand people and, under the leadership of grandson Guillermo León Herbert, still upholding the values of La Aurora : honesty, integrity, a passion for excellence and good relations with suppliers and employees.
