“From seed to cigar, the journey for this release began 12 years ago,” Manuel Inoa, La Aurora master blender, said in a press release. “As a result, we named it Hors d’Age, which is taken from the French cognac designation, literally translating to ‘beyond age.’ Just as Hors d’Age cognac represents exceptional quality developed through time, we set out to create an annual release that reflects the highest level of quality through expert aging and blending.”
