La Galera Maduro Chaveta - Blue Smoke Spirit - Cigar subscription and gifts - delivery in Switzerland

La Galera Maduro Chaveta

Under the Mexican cloak of San Andrés, Jochy Blanco has some wonderful surprises in store for us with this Maduro range. The blend comes mainly from tobaccos selected in the reserves of La Galera in Palma, Dominican Republic. But there are also a few other marvels unearthed by the master blender on his travels in search of the world's finest tobaccos.

A cigar that might seem very powerful because of its dark wrapper, but the blend is so skilfully mastered that the undergrowth aromas are perfectly balanced with the warm spices of the wrapper.

This is a cigar to be savoured slowly, watching the beautiful clear ash form uniformly until it falls in compact blocks to the ground.

Tasting note

Notes

The San Andrés cape delivers a few peppery notes right from the start, tickling our noses. This is followed by beautiful flavours of undergrowth and moss. The last third brings us cocoa and warm earth.

The cigar anecdote

Always on the lookout for the best tobaccos, Jochy Blanco travels the world going from one tabacalera to another to get his hands on new flavours to add to his creations.



La Galera

La Galera is the heart of a cigar factory. This is where the master blenders work to transform a raw product into an exceptional cigar.

José 'Jochy' Arnaldo Blanco is one of those families who have dedicated their lives to growing tobacco and cigars. For the Blancos, the story began with Jochy's great-grandfather, who was already cultivating tobacco fields.

After years of rolling cigars for other major houses, Jochy's father decided it was time for his family to start producing its own cigars. For two generations now, Tabacalera Palma has been producing its own modules, which are proudly rolled by the factory's 400 or so employees.
