Quick Smoke: La Galera Connecticut Chaveta
10 Mar 2018
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”
This cigar from Jochy Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma is a budget-priced smoke that punches far above its weight. With a smooth Ecuadorian wrapper and Dominican filler, this robusto-sized (5.25 x 50) treat delivers flavors of hay, cream, citrus, and an occasional bit of cedar. Strength is mild, as you’d expect, and performance is first-rate. At about $5 a stick, La Galera Connecticut is a definite addition to almost any smoker’s to-try list, especially if you enjoy a cigar with a cup of coffee.
Verdict = Buy.
