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.
