Review by Puroexpress
The La Galera Connecticut Tabaquero is a sandy-hued Churchill cigar known for its veiny wrapper and inconsistent draw, which some tasters found to be firm. Despite these minor construction issues, the cigar offers a pleasant and creamy smoking experience. Upon lighting, the cigar starts with smooth notes of cashew, vanilla, and cereal, providing a creamy and mild flavor profile. These initial flavors set a comforting and enjoyable tone for the smoke. As the cigar progresses, the creamy notes are joined by a hint of sweetness that complements the nutty and vanilla undertones. Midway through, the cigar introduces subtle herbal notes, adding a layer of complexity to the mild profile. However, the finish turns a bit sour, detracting slightly from the overall experience. Despite this, the cigar remains enjoyable and balanced for the most part. Rated by Puroexpress, the La Galera Connecticut Tabaquero earns a respectable 88 points. This mild strength cigar is a good choice for those seeking a smooth and creamy smoke, with enough complexity to keep the palate engaged.
