  La Galera 85th Anniversary

  To commemorate the Tabacalera Palma’s more than eight decades of crafting fine cigars, famed cigar maker Jose “Jochy” Blanco enlisted his son, Jose Manuel, to help develop a memorable blend. The results? Both father and son created a blend so exquisite that they decided to offer each blend as part of the La Galera 85th Anniversary. Jochy’s blend was inspired by his father, Don Nanan, who was a huge fan of the Connecticut Shade wrapper and uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade capa. When developing his blend, Jose Manuel drew inspiration from his father’s love of experimenting with different tobaccos. His blend uses a savory, dark USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Both blends share a Dominican Corojo binder, and a filler made of Criollo ’98 and Dominican Republic Piloto Cubano tobacco. Each box of the La Galera 85th Anniversary comes with 10 cigars of the Shade and 10 of the Broadleaf. The La Galera 85th Anniversary cigar is a fitting tribute to this historic brand’s legacy.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

  USA Connecticut Broadleaf

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
• Cigar Binder
  Dominican Corojo

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. Corojo seeds were brought to the Dominican Republic from Cuba to produce excellent quality wrapper and binder leaves.
