" First of all, I wanted to choose the different tobacco blends for my cigars and decided they should be made in very small quantities.  Such small quantities would insure a strict quality control, of which La Aurora was already distinguished for.  Finally, I wanted to meet and know my torcedores at a personal level, the men that would be hand crafting my cigars.  They accepted, and now I make all my cigars in La Aurora. S.A.; the oldest cigar manufacturer in the Dominican Republic, founded in 1903.  That is how the Falto brand of premium hand made cigars began. " - Luis J. Falto
