The La Galera Anemoi Eurus slaps you awake like a Mediterranean gust, blending Connecticut Broadleaf muscle with Dominican finesse in a 5.5" x 48 parejo format. At $10.19 per stick (box of 20 for $203.86), this medium-full smoke punches above its price class. The oily wrapper hides a Jacagua Corojo binder hugging Criollo 98/Piloto Cubano fillers - like burying treasure chest spices under dark earth.
The cold draw serves wet cedar chips. Lighting brings instant earthiness - damp forest floor meets smoldering black pepper. Smoke output stays surprisingly manageable despite the broadleaf wrapper. Retrohale stings with cinnamon powder sneeze.
At the 1" mark, roasted cashew sweetness emerges through the pepper haze. Draw tightens slightly - needs one careful purge. Coffee grounds bitterness develops under the sweetness, but avoids acridity. Ash holds firm in 1" chunks.
Last third cranks up leather tannins and cocoa powder dryness. Nicotine buzz creeps up around band removal point. Stub it before the final inch unless you enjoy swallowing campfire soot. Lingering aftertaste of black tea leaves and unresolved peppercorns.
Sampled after 3 weeks humidor rest (65% RH). Paired with cold brew coffee - cut through the sweetness effectively. Needed 2 relights in final third. Box recommendation: Solid daily driver for broadleaf fans, but stock up on palate cleansers. #CigarLife #DominicanTobacco
