La Galera Habano Perillas Lancero Cigar – Single

The La Galera Habano Perillas Lancero is a medium-bodied Dominican cigar featuring a 7 1/4 x 38 Lancero format. Its copper-toned Ecuadorian Habano wrapper encases a blend of Dominican Piloto Cubano, Criollo 98, and Pelo de Oro fillers, bound by a Dominican Corojo binder. Crafted at Tabacalera Palma under José “Jochy” Blanco’s supervision, this cigar emphasizes traditional Dominican tobacco craftsmanship.

Construction & Composition

The cigar’s golden-brown Ecuadorian Habano wrapper undergoes extended aging, contributing to its smooth combustion. The filler blend combines three Dominican-grown tobaccos: Piloto Cubano for earthy depth, Criollo 98 for spice, and Pelo de Oro for sweetness. A Dominican Corojo binder ensures structural integrity while allowing nuanced flavor delivery.

Flavor Characteristics

Initial draws reveal black pepper and cedar notes transitioning to creamy leather textures. The narrow 38-ring gauge amplifies the wrapper’s influence, intensifying flavors of toasted almonds and caramel. Mid-smoke introduces espresso undertones with subtle citrus accents, while the final third emphasizes cinnamon and cocoa. Burn consistency remains stable throughout the 90-minute smoking duration.

This cigar’s composition reflects Tabacalera Palma’s focus on Dominican-grown tobacco, with no hybrid or non-native leaves in the blend. The Lancero format prioritizes wrapper-to-filler ratio for flavor clarity.
