La Galera Imperial Jade Chiquito Perfecto 4" * 40/52

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.

The Perfecto shape has two tapered, closed ends with a rounded head, a closed foot, and a bulge in the middle. They can vary in length and ring gauge.

Most cigars are round in shape, as this is how the cigars are rolled by the torcedor.

This cigar is 4 inches long, or 101.6 mm.

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.

The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 52, so his diameter is 52/64 inches or 20.57 mm.

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.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.

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.

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.

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 is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
