The La Galera Connecticut Pegador Corona Grande is an exceptional premium cigar that delivers a smooth yet flavorful smoking experience, crafted with meticulous attention to detail by José “Jochy” Blanco at Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 46 ring gauge, this elegant cigar offers a well-balanced draw and a refined complexity that showcases the finest Dominican tobacco craftsmanship.
Draped in a flawless Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the Pegador presents a silky, golden-hued exterior with an inviting aroma of sweet hay and cedar. Beneath the wrapper lies a Dominican Piloto Cubano binder, expertly chosen to enhance the blend’s structure and combustion. The long-fillers consist of Dominican Criollo ’98 and Piloto Cubano tobaccos, carefully aged to provide a harmonious balance of creaminess and depth.
Upon lighting, the La Galera Connecticut Pegador opens with a rich yet mild introduction of buttery cream, toasted almonds, and subtle vanilla, complemented by a smooth, almost honey-like sweetness. As the smoke progresses, delicate hints of white pepper, cedar, and floral notes emerge, adding depth without overpowering the palate. The retrohale brings a light touch of cinnamon and graham cracker, making for an exceptionally nuanced experience.
