The La Galera Imperial Jade opens with vibrant, smooth layers of green tea, toasted almonds, and light cedar, courtesy of its Cameroon wrapper. As the tapered foot opens up, subtle undertones of creamy vanilla, herbal sweetness, and a touch of white pepper balance the smoke. It finishes cleanly with a delicate nuttiness and a crisp, aromatic finish on the palate.
