La Galera La Instructora Perfection Royal Corona

La Galera La Instructora Perfection Royal Corona puts an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper in a compact 5 1/8 x 48 format. The reddish, oil rich leaf gives the cigar a rich appearance and an intense but clean, smooth flavour. In this short, manageable size, the blend reaches its flavour quickly and holds steady from first light to the nub.

Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic handmade this cigar under master blender Jochy Blanco. Beneath the wrapper sits a Dominican Criollo 98 binder. The filler combines Dominican Criollo 98 and Dominican Piloto tobaccos. The blend is rated medium in strength, and some reviewers describe it as medium to full. Expect warm notes of earth, tobacco and spice. The profile is bold but balanced, with a layered, complex character.

The Royal Corona is the robusto sized option in the Perfection line. At 5 1/8 inches long with a 48 ring gauge, it offers a smooth draw and a cool, even burn. A smoking time of around 50 to 65 minutes suits an afternoon break or a relaxed evening. The round, straight sided construction also makes it a good place to start with the line.

For smokers who want a medium bodied Dominican cigar with a Rosado wrapper in a compact size, the Perfection Royal Corona is a flavourful, well constructed choice.
