Momentum

First third:
A spicy and vibrant entry emerges, marked by the dominant presence of black pepper. The spices add a piquant and warm flavour, with subtle hints of cumin complementing this thrilling first stage.

Second third:
The transition is towards deeper aromas, evoking humus and volcanic rock. The earthy character is still present, but it is softened by the creamy texture of the Connecticut wrapper, which adds roundness to the whole. At this stage, a clean cut is recommended to prevent the spicy notes from becoming too intense, thus avoiding a shift towards overly burning flavours.

Third third:
The aromas continue to round out, now dominated by persistent earthy notes. The cigar maintains its depth, offering a balanced experience right up to the final stage.

Throughout the tasting, the smoke is full-bodied and the ash compact. The wrapper is thin and slightly fragile: handle with care.

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.
