José "Jochy" Blanco may not be a household name for many premium cigar smokers, but he has been around for many decades making and growing tobacco for some of the hottest selling, and highest rated brands in the world. La Galera Connecticut cigars are a fine example of his amazing work. A mellow to medium smoke that comes in at a great price point, the cigar comprises Dominican binder and filler tobaccos grown exclusively on Jochy’s farm, covered with a sleek, golden brown Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The result is a savory, easygoing smoke brimming with scrumptious notes of coffee, almonds, cocoa, and cream.
