La Aurora Introduces Limited-Edition Small Batch Lot No. 7 for PCA 2025

March 28, 2025 Inspector L 3 min read

La Aurora USA, LLC has announced the release of La Aurora Small Batch Lot No. 7, a limited-edition cigar crafted by Master Blender Manuel Inoa. This exclusive release will debut at PCA 2025, honouring alliance members who support cigar-friendly businesses such as wineries, breweries, and restaurants.

A Unique Small Batch Creation

The La Aurora Small Batch collection consists of meticulously curated, limited-quantity cigars. For Lot No. 7, Manuel Inoa selected an exceptional vintage blend, offering cigar aficionados a truly rare smoking experience. This edition is presented in a Vintage Robusto format (4.5 x 50) and features an intricate blend of Dominican Republic, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian filler tobaccos. The double binder—a combination of Dominican tobacco for strength and Cameroon for sweetness—complements a luxurious Mexican San Andrés wrapper.

Lot No. 7 is an exceptionally rare release, with only 180 dress boxes available, each containing 10 handcrafted cigars aged for an impressive 21 years. Given the exclusivity and demand for previous Small Batch releases, this edition is expected to sell out quickly. The MSRP for each box is set at $150.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

“Small Batch is a series that is very special to me. Not only because I created it, but because these cigars will only ever exist in small batches,” said Master Blender Manuel Inoa. “Lot No. 7 is especially important to us as it boasts one of the longest aging periods in our Small Batch line and is being released as a PCA Alliance Exclusive.”

Each Small Batch release tells a unique story, highlighting distinct flavour profiles that cannot be replicated on a large scale. These exclusive selections stem from La Aurora’s treasured inventory of aged tobaccos, making each edition truly one-of-a-kind.

PCA Alliance and Industry Advocacy

The Premium Cigar Association (PCA) launched the PCA Alliance in 2024, an initiative designed to support premium cigar-friendly businesses, including wineries, breweries, restaurants, and country clubs. This initiative strengthens industry advocacy through financial support and collaboration.

“We are excited to collaborate with La Aurora on this special release,” said PCA Executive Director Joshua Habursky. “This will allow us to provide an event-exclusive cigar to alliance members who sign up at PCA events and regional meet-and-greets. Manuel really hit this one out of the park.”

John Ferrigan, La Aurora USA’s National Sales Director, emphasised the importance of this collaboration, stating, “The PCA Alliance is extremely important as we seek U.S. allies in cigar-friendly businesses. We are thrilled to release Small Batch Lot No. 7 as a PCA Alliance Exclusive to further support the premium cigar industry.”

Experience La Aurora Small Batch Lot No. 7 at PCA 2025

La Aurora’s Small Batch releases have a history of selling out rapidly, often within two weeks. Given the limited quantity and unique aging process of Lot No. 7, demand is expected to be high. Attendees at PCA 2025 can experience this exclusive release firsthand at the New Orleans Convention Center from April 11-14, 2025.
