At the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, La Galera Cigars will showcase its Year of the Snake cigar. It’s a cigar that has already been making its way through the Asian market and will now be available to U.S. retailers.
The Year of the Snake cigar commemorates 2025, which is represented by the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac. It is a Churchill size, measuring 7 x 47, and features a blend highlighted by a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. The binder is Dominican Olor, while the filler consists of all-Dominican tobaccos, including Oldr, Criollo ’98, Piloto, and the rare Pelo de Oro. Each cigar will come in 12-count boxes, which also include a two-finger leather cigar case that resembles snakeskin, mirroring the design of the box itself.
The La Galera Year of the Snake is due to ship in late April. The 2025 PCA Trade Show opens April 12, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

It should be authentic snake skin on the case. I like the concept.
