Sadly I think the rarity of them will drive them nuts on the secondaries and grey market. In my limited experience (of 2) they feel like a lovechild between an aged PLPC and that honeycomb sweetness out of a CoRo. I regret mentioning the latter cigar, but I have really enjoyed the two I've had and found that honey-ish note in both. Definitely a "want another" cigar after smoking. Only wish there was a pinch firmer draw on them to slow it down. Definitely one of those you want to wait a bit between draws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpchips Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Great opening on this review 😁 I was lucky to receive one of these from @RichG (actually, the same box code, RAT NOV 20). It was great, like was said before, caramel/toffee notes with honeyed biscuit, a flavor profile that was surprisingly well defined for a medium-light bodied cigar without a lot of age to it. They really nailed the blend on these. I’ve been lucky to have gotten two boxes which I haven’t tried yet, but I probably should have grabbed more when I had the chance. Definitely still keeping an eye out for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTZ Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Smoking a Galanes now 21, and it is exactly has Ken and El Pres describe. I am thoroughly enjoying. No mongrel in this one and a nice bread and honey sweetness on the finish, It's a light to medium for sure and I can see this as a great morning smoke with an espresso or afternoon with a nice beer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winelover Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I've had these a few times and agree that they are great sticks. At £24 a pop this year smoked at the cigar merchant's sampling lounge. An insider secret... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricam_bob Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 When these and the LFdC Elegios came out I manged to get a box of each and have been (FWIW) buying the Galenes ever since. Still, I'd nab a cab if it were ever to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
