The revolutionary Andullo tobacco at the heart of Project 805 undergoes a centuries-old curing method from southern Dominican Republic. Instead of traditional pilon fermentation, these precious leaves are wrapped around stalks and aged inside palm seed pods called yagua, imparting subtle woody tones and maple syrup sweetness that define this cigar’s character.
Ventura Cigar Company’s exclusive access to this rare tobacco makes Project 805 a truly distinctive smoking experience. The careful balance of traditional Dominican tobaccos with the innovative Andullo leaf creates layers of flavor that evolve throughout the smoke, offering notes of cedar, mild spice, and natural sweetness that complement rather than overwhelm.
Whether you choose the Natural with its golden Corojo Shade wrapper or the rich Maduro variant, Project 805 delivers consistent construction and even burning characteristics expected from La Aurora’s master rollers. Each vitola has been carefully calibrated to showcase the blend’s unique properties, making this an essential addition to any serious collection.
