Description

Another 90+ rated cigar by Jose “Jochy” Blanco, La Galera Connecticut cigars are homage to the rollers that sit in the roller’s room, or “La Galera” in Spanish. Rolled in Jochy's Tabacalera Palma factory, the factory that launched brands like Aging Room and La Flor Dominicana, La Galera is Jochy’s signature line and a wonderful addition to his portfolio.
/>

Mild to medium bodied, the Connecticut gets its name from the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that holds the Dominican T-112, Piloto Cubano, and Criollo tobaccos. The blend of tobaccos produces a sweet and creamy smoke, with notes of Cedar and Citrus, that has a hint of pepper on the back of the palette.
More than 3 generations in the making, La Galera Connecticut is a welcome addition to the world of Mild-Medium Premium Cigars.

La Galera Connecticut Chaveta - Robusto

Surprisingly good

It was stronger than I expected being a Connecticut. The flavor is really good. It’s a great cigar to go with coffee.

La Galera Connecticut Pilone - Short Gordo

Perfect Newbie Stick

This a very nice mild, smooth stick. Excellent construction. Burn, draw and ash were perfect. Not a ton of flavor and what there is doesn't last long. This a great first stick for a newbie. Not overwhelming but enough taste to wet a new smokers whistle.

La Galera Connecticut El Lector No. 2 Tubos

La Galera Connecticut El Lector No. 2 Tubos

The Galera Connecticut has been one of my favorites for quite some time now. Ever since the tubos were introduced those are the only ones I buy. Elegant packaging to match an elegant cigar and for some reason the tube format always has a little bit extra depth in flavor.

La Galera Connecticut Bonchero No. 4

Mild Petit Corona

Was pleasantly surprised when trying this one out for the first time. Construction is exceptional and burn was perfect. Had some notes of Carmel and a little bit of pepper on the retro. Great cigar when you only have about a half an hour and you don't want anything too heavy.

La Galera Connecticut Tabaquero Presidente Churchill

Long Lasting and Lite

Such time well spent is this gallera which normally takes me about an hour and a half to 2 hours to finish. Keep in mind that this is while enjoying it alongside a nice bottle of port. The sweet savory aromas of the cigar balance perfectly with the depth of the port.

La Galera Connecticut El Lector - Toro

La Galera Connecticut

Solid smoke all the way through. Nice nutty aftertaste with a mild to medium strength. Great when paired with an IPA on a hot summer afternoon

La Galera Connecticut Pilone - Short Gordo

Stout and Smooth

Perfect heavy ring gauge for those of us who don't want heavy power matching the size. Even though it's a shorty smoking time still ran me about 45 minutes. No better aftertaste no burn issues just subtle floral and citrus notes from beginning to end.

La Galera Connecticut Cortador - torpedo

La Galera Connecticut Cortador

For all you torpedo lovers who are always looking for the figuerado format without the full body blast this is the one. Chocked full of orange peel and white pepper this cigar has a depth of character that is uncommon in such a mild blend.

La Galera Connecticut Half Coronas

Galera on the Go

Always on the run and never have tons of time to smoke through the week. These Connecticut Half Corona Galeras have become one of my go-to quick fixes for a nice mellow Dominican flavor that I can enjoy within 15 to 20 minutes.

La Galera Connecticut Corona Cepo Pigtail

Stunning

What a beautiful ode to the old school laguito no.2 formats. Impeccable pigtail and perfect construction and draw on this slim cigar truly show the craftsmanship of the rollers from La Galera.
