As the VP of La Aurora, Mr. Leon is out to make a statement with a line bearing his name. The Guillermo Leon's is a good looking cigar, and I've smoked about three different sizes. Of the ones I've smoked, I find the Corona to be the perfect mixture of wrapper to filler ratio, weighing in at 5 1/2" x 42 ring gauge, I think the quality wrapper shines brings a richness that the larger gauges don't have. In fact the larger gauges were a little more spicy on the palette then I prefer. The corona however, with its 42 ring gauge highlights the quality wrapper
Guillermo Leon cigars have a chocolatey-brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Ecuador has been a hotbed for wrapper leaf these days. With ideal soil conditions and cloudy weather, they sun is filtered in such a wa to provide a unique wrapper leaf.
Another interesting aspect of this cigar is its double binder. Leon uses a Cameroon binder to provide some sweetness and a corojo binder to give a little punch.

The filler is then a unique blend of Peruvian (rare to see that), Dominican, Nicaraguan, and my personal favorite, Brazilian tobacco. That filler mixture alone had me pumped to give this stick a few tries. Not to mention it is a good looking cigar.
The rich dark brown wrapper is smooth and flawless, and the band has a sophisticated look, topped off with Guillermo's signature. When a man puts his signature on a stick, you know hes proud of this produt and is willing to put his name on the line because he knows hes got a quality cigar.
