La Galera 1936 Churchill Box Pressed

A tribute to La Palma tobacco factory, founded in 1936, this range is an ode to the ancestral expertise of the Dominican Republic. A love of the land and respect for traditions that, 90 years after the factory opened, continue to delight even the most demanding aficionados.

Tasting notes

The ignition is intense. The first puffs already reveal a complex blend of wood and chilli pepper, enhanced by a light creaminess. With good persistence, the notes remain pleasant on the palate, with a slightly chocolatey base note.

The draw is promising, as is often the case with box-pressed cigars. Here, in Churchill format, we find an ideal 50 ring gauge that allows for a good volume of beautiful, creamy smoke. The burn is perfect and a compact ash forms at the foot of the cigar.

As our tasting progresses, notes of nuts add a new dimension to the profile of our cigar. The closer we get to the final third, the more the aromas of undergrowth become apparent.

A colourful tasting experience that will keep you entertained throughout.
