The La Galera booth at the PCA Expo in Las Vegas exudes a very inviting “come hang with us” vibe, with open concept complete with comfortable white couches and revered Dominican cigar maker Jose “Jochy” Blanco generally present to hang out, smoke, and talk tobacco with the cigar-loving masses.
New for 2024 is the Limited Edition La Galera Year of the Dragon which comes in a 52 x 6 format and features a Habano wrapper with Piloto Cubano, Criollo98, binder and filler from their Canela and Jacagua Farms.
The charismatic Jose Manuel Blanco is Jochy’s youngest son, and is the next-generation face of the brand. Jose Manuel possibly knows more about tobacco from seed to cigar than any other 25-year old in the entire industry, the world over.
