   About  La Aurora 107 Zeppelin In 1903, Eduardo León Jimenes, at only 18 years old, founded La Aurora in the Dominican Republic. His vision to create a renowned global cigar brand began modestly in Guazumal, near Tamboril, with a handful of skilled rollers and a steadfast donkey for tobacco transport. Over the years, La Aurora faced and overcame various challenges, including political turmoil during Trujillo's dictatorship. This resilience is embodied in their 107 series, a celebration of over a century of craftsmanship and innovation. The 107 Zeppelin, initially launched for the Chinese market, is a notable addition to this esteemed series. It boasts a meticulously selected blend, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a binder from the Dominican Republic's Valle del Cibao, and a diverse filler composition from Nicaragua, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. This blend is crafted to provide a medium to full-bodied smoking experience. CigarPursuits Review La Aurora 107 Z...
