In 1925, José Arnaldo Blanco II—the son of a tobacco farmer—opened up a cigar operation, which was registered in 1936 as “La Palma.” While the company could use the older date, it has long referenced the 1936 date for its founding, which serves as the inspiration for the new La Galera 90th Anniversary, which began shipping late last week. Most notably, the blend is a Dominican puro, meaning it is made only from tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic, a country that has proven to be difficult for wrapper cultivation. The wrapper comes from the company’s Jacagua farm, the binder is from Gurabo, while the fillers are from Gurabo, Jacagua and La Canela.
