The ADVentura La Llorona is released only for the US market and in the single Robusto size. This release has been curated for distribution only to select retailers who generate significant sales of their products for the company.
The name recalls the myth of La Llorona, the specter of a female figure linked to various legends that vary depending on the Latin American country, a myth that has inspired many books and films.
The cigar uses tobacco aged 4 to 5 years (Dominican Medio Tiempo is also used in the filler). Once rolled, they are aged 4-5 months before being sold. The cigars are sold in 10-count boxes.
The cigar is rolled in a shiny Maduro wrapper with brown reflections. The construction and filling are optimal. Upon closer examination of the band, we realize that it is, in reality, two perfectly overlapping bands that recall the colors of the flag of the Dominican Republic in their colors.

ADV La Llorona Robusto: aromas of cocoa, earth, and honey are perceptible in the cold draw, all equally intense.
Once lit, the smoke is decidedly sapid, with very intense aromas of wood and leather, followed by less marked spices. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the central section the sapidity and strength do not change (3/5). Alongside the unchanged note of wood, the leather and spices slightly lose intensity, while a well-defined note of goudron is introduced.
In the last third, alongside the unchanged sapidity, there is a delicately bitter note, which does not unbalance the profile. The aromas confirm the presence of woody notes (very marked), leather and cellulose (new entry, moderately present), over a base of spices. The strength becomes medium-full (4/5).
Overall, the ADVentura La Llorona is a cigar that impresses with its impact. It is a robust cigar without any reference to a particularly elevated strength: the strength is there and correctly dosed to support a “dark” flavor profile with strong and well-defined aromas. A cigar that offers a rich, satisfying, and lively smoke.
