La Aurora
The oldest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic
La Aurora was founded on October 3, 1903 by Eduardo León Jimenes, a visionary man who was the son and grandson of tobacco growers and who, without leaving aside his family tradition, wanted to go a step further with the creation of a cigar brand to which he aspired to give a worldwide dimension. At that time, Don Eduardo was only 18 years old, he inherited some land and with a reduced payroll of six tobacco growers, a lot of illusion and effort, he began to build his dream. Today, 121 years later, La Aurora is one of the most emblematic Dominican cigar factories in the world, with more than two thousand employees and a presence on five continents.
