The La Galera Maduro Vitola No.1 is a delicious Dominican short robusto and a favourite of the team behind Cigar Saga. It delivers rich cocoa from the outset, with heavy dark chocolate emerging as the smoke unfolds and touches of wood and subtle elderflower evident through much of the brief session. The medium-to-full body carries these elements steadily, with the Maduro wrapper’s depth shaping the core profile. It pairs well with a strong espresso or a glass of sweet port

La Galera:
La Galera is a Dominican cigar brand created by master blender Jochy Blanco, whose family has been involved in tobacco growing and cigar production for 5 unbroken generations. Prior to the La Galera brand, Tabacalera Palma (Jochy's factory) had made cigars for many other companies but didn’t have a name for itself. That all changed with Jochy Blanco’s brand, La Galera. The name translates to “the rolling room,” a reference to the factory floor where cigars are handcrafted.
