Leon Jimenes |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| Leon Jimenes is one of the oldest brands made in the Dominican Republic. It is medium bodied with subtle complexities.
From the Dominican Republic’s oldest factory comes Leon Jimenes. This medium bodied cigar was introduced in the 1970’s and has since been a consistently top selling cigar in the US. What makes it so popular is its unique Dominican filler and binder that are wrapped in silky Connecticut wrapper. This combination of tobaccos yields a solid medium bodied and full flavored aroma with hints of caramel. Leon Jimenes cigars are known for their complexity that results from an additional 3 years of aging. These subtleties make Leon Jimenes ideal for enthusiasts who are just starting out in the hobby, as well as seasoned veterans. |

Leon Jimenes 300 Series |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| The 300 Series of Leon Jimenes is a masterfully crafted premium that combines a flawless, Cameroon wrapper leaf and supremely aged Dominican and Nicaraguan long-leaf tobaccos. The authentic wrapper leaf from Africa is dark and toothy in nature and marks the return of a Cameroon-wrapped Leon Jimenes cigar – the beloved cigar of Don Eduardo Leon Jimenes, founder of the La Aurora factory.
Other than the wrapper, the secret to the Leon Jimenes 300 Series is the aging process. After rolled, each cigar must undergo an additional aging period of at least 300 days, hence the name. Although this process is not necessary, as each leaf utilized is already vintage, it does add an enormous level of balance within a savory depth of flavor. Medium-bodied, but bursting with toasty goodness, Leon Jimenes 300 Series is incredibly smooth, offering deep woody notes delivered in a creamy, and robust fashion. |

Leon Jimenes Don Fernando |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| Cigar makers and master blenders typically reserve their favorite blend for themselves as a special everyday cigar. Not only do they usually take advantage of the best tobacco the factory has to offer, but their personal stash is rolled by only the factory’s top rollers. Every year, Guillermo Leon (master blender for Leon Jimenes and La Aurora) makes a limited number of special cigars for his father, Don Fernando Leon. Cigar.com is honored to be one of only two specially selected retailers to offer these rare cigars.
Only available in Don Fernando’s favorite size, the corona, this cigar starts with a specially aged Cameroon wrapper. This wrapper is the very same one reserved for the popular La Aurora Preferidos line. To finish the cigar a secret blend of fillers from the Dominican Republic is added, giving it a medium body with a complex mix of wood and nut flavors. If you are looking for a cigar that is anything but ordinary, the Don Fernando is a great choice. |

Leon Jimenes Maduro |
||
|
Where to purchase |
||
| Leon Jimenes is one of the oldest brands made in the Dominican Republic. It is medium bodied with subtle complexities.
Leon Jimenes Maduro cigars are the maduro version of the distinctive Leon Jimenes cigar, which are also made at the La Aurora factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic. This selection offers expert craftsmanship and is slightly richer in flavor due to its dark, velvety U.S. grown Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper. Like their natural-wrapper brothers, Leon Jimenes Maduro is mild in character with an enticing aroma and a consistently good draw. |
