This Corona Gorda-sized smoke from La Galera packs 6"x46 dimensions in 20-count boxes priced at $121.20. Rolled with an oily Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Dominican fillers, it's become known among enthusiasts as the "Morning Coffee Companion" for its mild-medium body. The triple cap holds firm to the touch with minimal veining - decent construction for a stick that clocks in around 90 minutes burn time.
Cold draw brings faint cedar shavings. Initial puffs offer creamy texture with dominant cashew notes - typical Connecticut sweetness but dialed back. Combustion stays sharp despite slightly tight draw. Retrohale reveals white pepper tingle at 15-minute mark.
Core profile shifts to buttered toast around the 40-minute point. Hints of salted caramel emerge alongside faint earthiness. Ash holds firm in 1.5" segments. Some users report needing relights here - our sample burned consistently but slower than average.
Last inch introduces dry cocoa powder and mineral twang. Strength never crosses medium threshold. No harshness detected even with heavy puffing, though nicotine-sensitive smokers might feel slight dizziness.
The Dominican-made blend uses Tabacalera Palma's T-112 tobacco - aged 3 years according to Jochy Blanco. Box-pressed samples showed slightly better airflow than round vitolas. Optimal humidity observed at 65% RH - drier conditions may amplify woody notes.
