Sure aging in casks is good for whisky and other spirits but what about tobacco? Cigar Aficionado reports on the new cigars from Aurora which are made from tobacco aged in barrels. The Aurora Corojo Oscuro Barrel Aged Cigar is aged in old oak barrels that once held Dominican rum. Aurora already barrel-ages the tobacco used inside its Preferidos, 1495 and 100 Años cigars, but now they are aging the wrapper too. The new cigar will come in four sizes and will debut at the RTDA show in a couple weeks.

Cigar makers CAO have released a little video about their latest innovation which will be launched at RTDA later this summer. The CAO Vision is the first Dominican-made CAO cigar, it is composed of aged tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Brazil but assembled in the Dominican Republic. The cigars come in a desktop/travel humidor that is calibrated to deliver 68-70% humidity. The cigars will be available in three sizes. The video doesn't explain the glowing box but it is certainly intriguing too.
