La Galera 85th Anniversary
A family legacy in every puff.
Celebrating 85 years of heritage, Tabacalera Palma unveils a remarkable tribute to its legacy with the La Galera 85th Anniversary cigar. Spearheaded by master blender Jose "Jochy" Blanco and his son Jose Manuel Blanco, this commemorative release is more than a cigar—it's a story of three generations of tobacco mastery.
The father-son duo took distinct yet complementary approaches to craft this limited-edition offering. Each created a unique blend, drawing on decades of family knowledge and tradition, making the 85th Anniversary not just a celebration of time, but of craftsmanship and generational dialogue.
Jochy Blanco’s creation honors his father, Don Nanán, and his fondness for the Connecticut Shade wrapper. The cigar uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, a Dominican Corojo binder, and Piloto Cubano and Criollo '98 fillers from Tabacalera Palma's Potrero and La Canela farms. The result is a refined profile with natural sweetness and soft spice, delivering a smooth, traditional Dominican smoking experience.
Jose Manuel’s contribution brings a bolder expression, wrapped in a rich, rustic USA Connecticut Broadleaf. Inside, he combines a Piloto Cubano binder with Criollo '98 and Corojo fillers from the same Dominican farms. Inspired by his father’s experimental spirit, this blend delivers notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and spice, with a leathery, full-bodied character that evolves beautifully.
Each La Galera 85th Anniversary box contains 20 cigars—10 Connecticut Shade and 10 Connecticut Broadleaf—offering a full tasting journey across tradition and innovation. Only 2,021 boxes have been produced, making this release a collector’s dream and a heartfelt homage to Dominican cigar excellence.
From sweet cedar and roasted coffee to sourdough, earth, and a hint of blackberry on the retrohale, each puff reflects the care, culture, and character of Tabacalera Palma.
