Jochy Blanco built La Galera Connecticut as a tribute to the rolling room, pairing an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with Dominican tobaccos for a medium-bodied smoke from the Dominican Republic in a 6 x 54 toro. Buttery cream, soft sweetness, and a tidy pop of pepper open the door, then almond, cedar, and a flicker of citrus keep the El Lector smooth and easygoing.
