La Galera Maduro Cortador Torpedo Cigar – Box of 20

Crafted at Tabacalera Palma under Jochy Blanco’s supervision, the La Galera Maduro Cortador Torpedo employs a Mexican San Andres wrapper. The construction pairs this with a Dominican binder and a filler blend of Dominican Piloto Cubano and Criollo ’98 tobaccos. Its torpedo shape measures 6" x 52, optimized for concentrated flavor delivery.

Wrapper and Tobacco Composition

• Wrapper: Dark brown Mexican San Andres leaf
• Binder: Dominican-grown tobacco
• Filler: Dominican Piloto Cubano and Criollo ’98 varietals

A secondary description references an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper, though this conflicts with the primary Mexican San Andres attribution. The blend’s exact specifications should be verified with the manufacturer.

Flavor Development

The Maduro Cortador Torpedo opens with dominant cocoa and earth tones, transitioning into leather and cedar upon initial combustion. Mid-smoke reveals darker profiles of coffee grounds and bitter chocolate, concluding with subtle woodiness and creamy undertones. Smoke output remains consistent due to the torpedo’s tapered head and open foot design.

Performance Characteristics

Combustion stability is maintained through multiple thirds, with ash forming a tight salt-and-pepper cone. Draw resistance aligns with traditional torpedo construction, requiring minimal relights. Box purchases include 20 individually cellophaned cigars for humidity control.
