León Jimenes

León Jimenes is a handcrafted cigars brand by La Aurora Factory, the oldest cigar company in the Dominican Republic. Although the cigar factory surfaced in 1903, they launched these handmade cigars in 1953 to honor the founder and his brother. Due to the Connecticut wrapper leaf’s growing fondness throughout the first half of the century, La Aurora designed a blend for the León Jimenes cigars brand. Since then, cigar lovers have considered it a relentlessly consistent blend from one of the world’s premier cigar factories.
