THE GALERAS

Each havana cigar is precisely defined by certain criteria (its shape, its gauge, its length) which classify the vitola in a particular category. This category is known under a generic name: the galera.

Here is a list of the main galeras of Cuban cigars.

Beside each galera, you'll find the brands (left column) and the vitolas (right column) produced by the factories. A click on the picture will open a closer view of the cigar.
