COO: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Cameroon
La Aurora Cameroon gets its name from Cameroon, Africa, where its red and shiny wrapper was formerly harvested. Eduardo León Jimenes was originally a salesman for his father's farm in Guazumal, Tamboril before founding La Aurora. One of the leaves he absolutely fell in love with was Cameroon wrapper, a leaf with a shiny reddish hue and a rough texture that has been found dressing La Aurora smokes since 1903.
