A Complete Guide To La Galera Cigars

Fourth-generation Dominican tobacco grower and cigar maker Jose Arnaldo “Jochy” Blanco earned his stripes by supplying amazing leaves for top-rated Aging Room and La Flor Dominicana blends, among others, before embarking on his boutique solo venture, La Galera Cigars. Transmitting decades of determination and experience into a series of carefully-crafted, full-flavored small-batch blends, Jochy and the hard-working team at Tabacalera Palma in Tamboril, Dominican Republic have created a collection of amazing handcrafted smokes that aim high and hit the mark every time. When you light up a La Galera, you’re not just smoking a cigar, you’re tasting a lifetime of passion and dedication.

Brand founder Jochy Blanco waited patiently for seven years while the Piloto Cubano and Criollo 98 filler leaves, Criollo 98 binder, and smooth Ecuadorian Habano wrapper used in the creation of the La Galera 1936 Box-press aged to perfection. Once his vision was realized, he gave it a firm, Cuban-style box press and released its delicious earthy, peppery, and leathery flavors to impress the world at large. This hearty blend agrees cordially with a few fingers of your favorite spirits.
