When creating the La Galera Imperial Jade, which is the sixth release of the La Galera brand, cigar impresario (and La Galera owner) Jose “Jochy” Blanco decided to use the hard-to-get African-grown Cameroon. It is the first time he used a Cameroon wrapper for a La Galera cigar. The wrapper is known for its smoothness, beauty, and flavor, but it is also a thin and stiff leaf, which makes it difficult to work with. But this did not deter Jochy and his expert rollers to create a premium cigar that is a gem to behold and a beauty to smoke. The La Galera Imperial Jade is handmade in the Dominican Republic at Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma factory.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Medium
Wrapper Color
Natural
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Natural wrapper, also known as Colorado Claro, is light brown in color.
Wrapper
Cameroon
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Cameroon wrappers are grown in the East part of the country. The growing area spreads over the eastern border, into the Central African Republic. Wrappers are air grown, without fertilizers and pesticides, by small farmers. The average plantation size is about one acre. The seed is originally from Sumatra, introduced in the country just after WWII.
Binder
Criollo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Costa Rica Habano tobacco is a Cuban-seed tobacco that is grown in Costa Rica, and it is fermented using traditional Cuban methods. The tobacco is highly regarded for its Cubanesque flavor and aroma.
Filler
Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Criollo 98
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Tabacalera Palma
Tabacalera Palma is a family owned and operated cigar factory that is headed by Jose “Jochy” Blanco, a third-generation tobacco grower and cigar crafter. The factory is located in the La Palma free trade zone, which is in the Cibao Valley in the Dominican Republic. It is considered one of the oldest tobacco companies in the Dominican Republic. Tabacalera Palma makes cigars for a large number of companies as well as their own brands such as La Galera, Aging Room, La Instructora, and Sans Pareil.

Tried these base on a staff pick... they were spot on. Damn good.

Joseph F.03/25/2023About: La Galera Imperial Jade Piramide 6" * 52

Creamy cigars with unique notes. I classify this as a dessert cigar. Worth picking one up.

George U.03/21/2023About: La Galera Imperial Jade Piramide 6" * 52

Wow this was impresssive.

Luis S.02/05/2023About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Great cigar that exceed my expectations. Full of flavors for a medium cigar. The ring is gorgeous and unique

Philippe B.01/28/2023About: La Galera Imperial Jade Churchill 7" * 47

Some may find the band a bit simple but it brings elegance to this Churchill sized cigar. It's a very pleasant and easy smoke but my preference goes to the robusto vitola.

Francisco T.01/20/2023About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

lovely creamy profile

Franz B.12/28/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Really good cigar. Draw before lighting was a little tight and cause for concern, but once lit draw was perfect. Super even burn all the way down—not flaky and never had to relight. Great aroma. Good taste. Very well done.

11/25/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Smooth great tasting cigar the brand has a strong offering, but this Cameroon is my favorite.

Dayron V.11/04/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Ok for price point

michael c.10/30/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

I really liked this cigar... smooth and creamy... burned a little unevenly but would definitely smoke again..

Philippe B.12/30/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Medium to full. Delicate start but it slowly evolves to full. Very good construction et very pleasant flavors. Will surely smoke again.

La Galera always hits above their price point. Great value. Good introduction to Cameroon for new smoker.

Joseph R.08/15/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

This is my go-to stick for flavor, time, and complete enjoyment. I always have a box in the Humidor.

Guillaume k.07/17/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Smooth,well made and really enjoyable

Giuliano D.06/25/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

La Galera is doing some amazing stuff. Just a delicious cigar. A delicious Cameroonian cigar, and the price point makes it even better.

Ricardo G.06/23/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

I saw this cigar on a review and I say why not...! to try it is cheap and lots smoke and flavor and I love the bands .

gregory l.06/18/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Piramide 6" * 52

great cigar......sweet rich flaor

Ivon05/26/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

This is an excellent cigar. I don't particularly like any component of this blend alone. Together they produce a unique flavor that is a joy to smoke.

Francis L.04/25/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Nice easy smoking experience. But there are other Cameroon cigars I prefer. Well constructed.

BADR S.04/24/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

NICE

Darryl F.04/21/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Great medium bodied cigar with a creamy and spicy profile.

andrew s.04/21/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Good flavour, better than the torpedo, probably the best one in this range.

Paul E.04/12/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Awesome smoke and flavor. Great price point

Junior S.03/27/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

Middle of the road cigar, not great but not bad either. I won't go out of my way to get more but if I reach into my humidor on any given day and this one comes out, then I'll smoke it.

Mark P.03/27/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Great draw and razor sharp burn. Earthy cigar that is not complex but very consistent from start to finish. As with other La Galera cigars I like them but they are nothing outstanding.

Mike A.03/15/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Good looking cigar. Nice volume of smoke. But fairly ordinary.

andrew s.03/09/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Piramide 6" * 52

Different flavour profile to the usual La Galera, have a couple more to smoke to make my mind up! Decent smoke, generous description of the size, it probably is 52rg at the foot but very quickly tapers so looks/feels so much smaller.

Michael P.03/05/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

The burn was too loose from some under packed areas. The pepper was agressive and overpowered the other flavors through the first half. In the last half cream, herbal tea, and sweetness come in to play and show some potential.

Mike A.03/01/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Churchill 7" * 47

This cigar came with great anticipation and sadly did not live up to it. Very average smoke

Eric S.02/10/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

Really nice.

Eddie R Hill02/04/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Great Aroma and taste

jae yob k.01/27/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

It must be listed in top budget cigars.

Jorge H.01/25/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

I am a fan of La Galera cigars but this was not my favorite. Did not live up to the expectation.

Aric A.01/25/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

Great Cigar!

Jason H.01/18/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

This was okay but overall the flavors lacked some brightness and I found it a bit dirty.

Jon C.01/13/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Such a good cigar, got one in the monthly subscription sampler. Better than most of the $10+ cigars I’ve tried.

Josue M.01/03/2022About: La Galera Imperial Jade Robusto 5"1/8 * 50

Great taste great construction

John J.12/29/2021About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

This was a nice easy med smoke. A little spice on the back end. The cameroon wrapper was was perfect for this one.

Benjamin M.12/11/2021About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

Creamy easy to draw lots of spice in the retro

james j.12/10/2021About: La Galera Imperial Jade Corona 5"1/2 * 44

New cigar was surprisingly good

Mari M.12/03/2021About: La Galera Imperial Jade Toro 6" * 52

The Cameroon Tobacco leaf have been always known for being a challenge to work with. It is expensive and difficult to grow and even more difficult to use. Jochy and Tabacalera La Palma were ready for the challenge and decided to take the risk...Now, after tasting the cigars, I'm sure, you will agree with me. When the final product is a cigar like La Galera Imperial Jade, the risk was well worth. This cigar features every quality a cigar with a Cameroon wrapper should have and more. Hints of leather, and a toasty, woody tone...surely enhanced by the Dominican Criollo Binder; mild pepper that intensifies in the second third but recedes in the final third, never overpowering, just enough. This cigar is smooth, almost buttery with a natural subtle sweetness and nuttiness surrounding all these notes and flavors. The Cameroon wrapper and the Dominican tobaccos used for the Binder and Fillers give this cigar another level of flavor deepness. No burning or lighting issues and a solid ash are testimony of a flawless construction. A Beautiful green band honoring the semi-precious stone the cigar was named after. The wrapper is as beautiful as a Cameroon wrapper can be, one thing that called my attention: I didn’t see the almost invisible pockets of oil the Cameroon wrapper usually have. My sticks were perfectly smooth and even in color, making the cigar very attractive to the eye. In my humble opinion, Jochy Blanco has another winner here!!! The fact he though in every smoker out there when he decided to make 5 different sizes to choose from, surely going to help this cigar to become a favorite. I paired with Rum Zacapa Centenario 23, they complemented each other perfectly.
