Description
Brand Story
The Blanco family's history in tobacco goes back to the 19th century in the Dominican Republic. José Arnaldo Blanco II founded Tabacalera La Palma in 1925 and obtained an industrial registration in 1936, becoming one of the first cigar manufacturers on the island.
Today, the factory is run by the fourth generation, José Arnaldo "Jochy" Blanco. For many years a tobacco supplier and manufacturer for other brands, he launched his own premium brand, La Galera, in late 2015. The name refers to the rolling room, the heart of the factory, where cigars are rolled by hand.
In 2021, the brand released the La Galera 85th Anniversary, created with his son José Manuel, as well as the Imperial Jade, its first cigar with a Cameroon wrapper.
Product Detail
For the La Galera Imperial Jade, Jochy Blanco chose a Cameroon wrapper for the first time, a rare and highly sought-after leaf. Renowned for its beauty and flavor, this thin, delicate leaf is difficult to work with, a challenge his rollers met brilliantly.
On the palate, red chili pepper stands out clearly, without the cigar being peppery. A subtle sweetness emerges as the smoke develops, along with creamy and earthy notes in the background.
