La Aurora Escogidos Robusto
"NIce Smoke"
Very enjoyable smoke and good price too. A nice surprise. Not overpowering, a just right package of flavor that leaves you satisfied right down to the nub. I can't afford to smoke 10 cigars every day. But regardless of the price, I would recommend these to all.

La Aurora Escogidos Robusto
"Excellent with a little age"
I received a box as a freebie and thought they were decent, medium-strength, somewhat sweet maduros out of the box. After letting them rest a couple of months in a humidor, they became great. This is the first cigar I bought a box of, and have now bought two.

La Aurora Escogidos Robusto
"Escogidos: Spanish for poorly built %26 harsh"
Recieved the maduro version of this robusto in the Famous Mild Z Sampler. True disappointment. Started out nicely with some mello peppery hints and regressed from there. The cigar then proceeded to burn unevenly and started tunneling - resulting in a hard draw to keep it lit. Absent the taste of the flavorful wrapper, the cigar descended into an overworked experience of harsh endurance.

"A quality bargain smoke"
WOW! This is a superb cigar. Great looks and const., this cigar burns well. The draw is snug but puts out lots of smoke. Spice, woodiness, vanilla and a sweet, almost fruity aspect that makes this a pretty complex smoke. And the price? For $50.00, this is a no-brainer of a price.

La Aurora Escogidos Robusto 5P
"Didn't care for it....."
I went out on a limb and got a 5-pack. It didn't light easy and it burned very unevenly. The taste was nothing special. I didn't pick up any distinct flavor notes. Pretty bland from start to finish. It was my first sample of La Aurora. I'll try others and try to keep an open mind.....

"Viva La Aurora"
Inspite of a marginal review, I decided to purchase this cigar and experience it myself. The most important things for me is consistency with flavor, draw, and burn. Because of windage, I can't rate the burn without consideration. Consistency: with regard to flavor it was consistent with creamy citrus like flavors from foot to head with abundance shortly after lighting and increasing until it reached nub level. I was highly pleased with the taste.
Draw was excellent. Appearance wise, attractive caramel wrapper coated with oil head to foot with an art quality band.
Construction was very well as far as appearance and feel. I've seen slightly better looking cigars that do not compare taste wise.
A strong recommendation on this one. Your budget will determine whether you purchase as a Cigar Monster value or at regular price. La Aurora produced an excellent smoking experience with this work of art.

"Me Likey - Likey"
I've smoked 2 of my 5 pk thus far; and really dig the taste of this Camaroon. Baked pecan pie crust comes to mind when puffing on this perfectly pleasant surprise. I had some issues with the first one dyeing out a few too many times(perhaps over humidified?); but the second one did not fizzle out once. The taste b/ the 2 is consistent.... EXCELLENT. Keep your eyes open for the next Monster Deal. You won't regret it.

"Decent Medium Bodied Cigar - But 'Way Overpriced"
I picked up a 5-pack of these Escognidos at auction here for about $15. I was shocked that I won the auction since the Escognidos (given with pride to tourists and VIPs @ Aurora factory tours) are somewhat hard to find and retail for $10 per and up per stick. Famous doesn't give you any specifics about about this Aurora Escogidos cigar - they just provide a generic Aurora write-up for it so I doubt they sell many at Famous' regular price of $50 for a 5-pack. Anyway, IMO, the Escogidos doesn't live up to it's reputation. I didn't find the "sweetness" some reviewers attribute to it (a good or a bad thing depending on your preferences) and, to me, it seemed just a notch below the "regular" Aurora Robusto. Aurora's "Barrel Aged" version, I think, is a much better cigar and sells for considerably less $$.
