La Aurora Announces the Limited-Edition Preferidos Hors d’Age 2024 LE

March 21, 2025 Inspector X 2 min read

La Aurora USA has unveiled the La Aurora Preferidos Hors d’Age 2024 LE, a luxurious cigar crafted with extra-aged tobacco for an ultra-smooth, medium-to-full-bodied smoke. This limited-edition release will debut at the PCA 2025 in New Orleans and is expected to sell out quickly.

A Cigar Twelve Years in the Making

The journey of the La Aurora Preferidos Hors d’Age 2024 LE began over a decade ago, embodying the essence of meticulous aging and expert blending. Named after the French cognac term “Hors d’Age,” meaning “beyond age,” this cigar reflects La Aurora’s commitment to excellence and craftsmanship. Master Blender Manuel Inoa explains that the name signifies the exceptional quality derived from time and patience—similar to the world’s finest cognacs.

A Carefully Curated Blend

Hors d’Age 2024 LE showcases a premium selection of tobaccos. The wrapper and binder are both Sumatra leaves grown in Ecuador, while the long-fillers hail from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Nicaragua. Each leaf in this refined blend has undergone at least 12 years of aging, resulting in a deeply harmonious and complex smoking experience.

A Rich and Balanced Flavour Profile

This cigar is an exquisite balance of spice and subtlety. Smokers will notice pronounced woody notes enriched by hints of cinnamon, nuts, and a touch of citrus on the finish. The aroma is rich and inviting, with delicate undertones of roasted coffee enhancing the smoking experience. The meticulous aging process ensures a smooth draw, making every puff a celebration of time-honoured craftsmanship.

Availability and Pricing

The La Aurora Preferidos Hors d’Age 2024 LE will be presented in a Toro format (5.75 x 54) and packaged in elegant dress boxes of 15. With only 700 boxes allocated to the U.S. market, demand is expected to be high. Officially launching at the PCA 2025 from April 11-14 at the New Orleans Convention Center, shipments to retailers are projected for late April. The MSRP is set at $450 per box or $30 per cigar.

For collectors and aficionados, this is an exclusive opportunity to experience one of La Aurora’s finest creations. Stay tuned for updates and secure your box before they disappear from the shelves.
