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.
