La Galera Ct - First Go, 25th Sep 2019
Reviewer: Justin Baker
Let me just preface by saying I rarely give a 5 star because, well it better be the best smoke I've had.... there is no where to go from a 5 star. Saying that this stick is a strong 4.5. Great construction, cold draw, smoke output, aroma and flavors. I would consider this a mild to medium for my palate. Earth notes of course, subtle sweetness not overpowering and the retro-hale opened up more flavors that didn't burn the sinus. I will be having these again. You can follow me @budbakercigars for other sticks and reviews. Cheers!

I hadn't smoked these before and usually smoke cigars that are Med.-Full finding that they have the most flavor. This cigar completely surprised me in that although I would say (according to my palate) it is a Mild-Med. smoke the flavor, burn and construction was outstanding. I will certainly buy these again, it is a great cigar to start one's day.

The cold draw over the cigar has a subtle maple note with hints of hay, earth and cedar. The aroma off the foot mimics that of the cold draw. One could says there are similarities to Davidoff in the pre-light ritual, and I will go ahead and say just that.
Once the cigar is lit there are traces of honey and a touch of wheat, along with a slightly floral component. As we move into the first third of the cigar some blackberry notes begin to emerge. The cigar is smooth and balanced while the retrohale has some honey like sweetness.
Moving on to the second third of the cigar, honey notes remain dominant with some fruitiness and spice that I think would pair well with a nice spiced rum such as Kraken. There are some underlying base notes of earth, cedar and a touch of hay, but the sweetness of the cigar really shines.
The last third is buttery smooth with continued notes of wheat and earth. The honey that was dominant in the first two-thirds is more noticeable on the finish as the cigar comes to a close while the retrohale of the cigar and aroma are intoxicatingly delicious.
