La Galera 1936 Box Pressed cigars are a medium to full-bodied blend from Jochy Blanco that commemorates the year that his father, José Arnaldo Blanco II, founded the Dominican Republic’s now historic Tabacalera Palma in Santiago, Tamboril. Released in 2017, the line showcases select tobaccos grown on Jochy’s distinguished La Canela farms - Criollo ’98 and Piloto Cubano - that were set aside and aged especially for this project.
Skillfully handcrafted at Tabacalera Palma, every La Galera 1936 Box Pressed cigar offers a complex flavor profile that evolves with each draw. Initial notes of earth, leather, and pepper give way to subtle hints of citrus, cocoa, and espresso, culminating in a spicy, satisfying finish. While the Ecuador Habano wrapper balances perfectly atop robust Dominican fillers, the box-pressing enhances the burn and intensifies the flavors. Offered in six sizes, each La Galera 1936 shape is also named for a cigar making or smoking term.
More than just a smoke, La Galera 1936 cigars are a testament to the Blanco family’s four generations of cigar mastery, offering you a taste of living history in more ways than one. Choose your favorite size and add them to your order today.
