n a warm and sunny day in Tamboril, considered to many as the cigar capital of the world, lying in the outskirts of Santiago, Dominican Republic, lies Jose Arnaldo Blanco, known to all as “Jochy”, puffing calmly on cigar. A man who has worked with tobacco for as long as he can recall and his unconditional love and passion for it is obvious to all.

Through hard work and determination, he’s grown and processed tobacco to perfection throughout his tenure as a manufacturer and grower for the last few decades, and his factory Tabacalera Palma has been the home for outstanding cigars that have gained the love and appreciation of smokers all over the world.

La Galera created their own version of the Connecticut cigar because they demanded more. Wrapped with a rich Connecticut Ecuador leaf, and a binder & filler combination composed of Dominican grown seeds from Tabacalera Palma’s state of the art farms, LG Connecticut bestows the smoker a delightful smoke that lingers with pleasurable taste and savour.

These fine tobaccos are skilfully rolled through a delicate artisanal process that makes their high-quality finish a certainty.
