La Aurora Preferido Sapphire No. 2 Tubos Double Perfecto (5x54 / Box 8)

La Aurora Preferidos Connecticut Sapphire Tubes offers a smooth, mild-bodied expression from La Aurora's celebrated Preferidos collection, combining a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper with a multinational selection of filler tobaccos. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, this distinctive perfecto emphasizes creamy, toasted, woody, and gently roasted characteristics in an elegant individually tubed presentation.

The blend features a USA Connecticut Shade wrapper surrounding a Dominican binder and a combination of Brazilian, Cameroon, and Dominican filler tobaccos. The Connecticut Shade wrapper contributes a softer, creamy character, while the multinational interior blend introduces additional layers of cedar, toasted nuts, coffee, gentle spice, and natural tobacco sweetness.

Generally mild-bodied, La Aurora Preferidos Connecticut Sapphire offers tasting notes that may be reminiscent of cream, toasted bread, cedar, roasted nuts, coffee beans, cocoa, gentle pepper, baking spice, and natural tobacco sweetness. Toasted and cedar characteristics can establish the foundation of the profile, while creamy and nutty qualities provide balance. Coffee-like notes and subtle spice may become more noticeable as the cigar develops, adding depth while maintaining its approachable character.

The signature perfecto shape gives the Connecticut Sapphire the distinctive silhouette associated with the Preferidos collection. Its tapered construction changes the proportion of wrapper to filler tobacco throughout the cigar, allowing different characteristics of the Connecticut Shade wrapper and multinational interior blend to emerge as the ring gauge expands and contracts.

The La Aurora Preferidos Connecticut Sapphire received a published 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado, adding to its recognition within the Preferidos portfolio.
