What a year it has been for Jochy Blanco. The La Galera Connecticut was named Cigar of the Year here at The Cigar Authority. The company was featuring the Maduro line at 2017 IPCPR where we got a look at the new Pilon size, which is larger ring gauge that have consumers have clamored for. La Galera is produced at Tabacalera Palma and we caught up with Jochy Blanco himself at the 2017 IPCPR.
Earlier this week David Garofalo announced the contenders for Cigar of the Year. If you listen to our podcast, you will know that we are huge fans of La Galera which comes from Jochy Blanco’s Indian Head Tobacco. While Mr. Jonathan loves the Connecticut, David and I have been partial to the Habano.
