La Aurora’s History
This story sets back on October 3rd, 1903 by Eduardo León Jimenes, a hard-working man who was the son and grandson of tobacco growers. His family decided to go a step further with the creation of a cigar brand. His idea was to grow globally, creating a premium cigar brand. Eduardo was 18 years old and had inherited some “tareas” of land with a reduced roster of six employees. With much enthusiasm and effort, he began to build his dream. Today, more than 113 years later, La Aurora has a presence on the 5 continents and more than a thousand employees.
