LA AURORA HISTORY
 

La Aurora was founded on October 3rd, 1903 by Eduardo León Jimenes, a hard worker man who was son and grandson of tobacco growers, that, without neglecting his family tradition, decided to go a step further with the creation of a cigar brand which he intended to have a global dimension. The founder was then 18 years old, inherited some “tareas” of land and with a reduced roster of six employees, a great enthusiasm and much effort, began to build his dream. Today, more than 113 years later, La Aurora has a presence on the five continents and more than a thousand employees.

 

La Aurora is, today, the leading cigar factory in the national Dominican market, but its brands are sold in more than sixty countries all around the world. Its production has a great diversity, with over a thousand different
