La Galera 1936 Box Pressed Half Corona

The La Galera 1936 Box-Pressed Half Corona is the perfect companion for the summer season, offering a smoking experience lasting around thirty minutes. Sharing the same aromatic profile as its bigger brother, the Churchill Box-Pressed Corona, it is an intense cigar that produces a generous amount of smoke.

From the moment it is lit, its intensity is immediately apparent. The first puffs instantly reveal a rich aromatic profile, blending woody and spicy notes of chilli, subtly softened by a hint of creaminess. The finish is remarkable, leaving harmonious flavours on the palate, enhanced in the background by a delicate hint of chocolate.

The draw, true to the reputation of box-pressed cigars, is excellent, allowing you to fully enjoy a generous volume of dense, smooth smoke. The burn is even, forming a compact, well-structured ash.

As the cigar is smoked, nutty aromas enrich the profile, adding further complexity. As the final third approaches, notes of undergrowth intensify, reinforcing the cigar’s character.

A vibrant and nuanced tasting experience that captivates from start to finish without ever becoming tiresome.

About La Galera

La Galera is the heart of a cigar factory. It is here that the master blenders work their magic, transforming raw tobacco into exceptional cigars.

José “Jochy” Arnaldo Blanco comes from one of those families who have dedicated their lives to tobacco farming and cigar-making. For the Blancos, the story began with Jochy’s great-grandfather, who was already cultivating tobacco fields.

After rolling cigars for other major brands for years, Jochy’s father decided it was time for his family to start producing their own cigars. Tabacalera Palma has now been producing its own cigars for two generations, proudly rolled by the factory’s 400 or so employees.
