La Palina Goldie Toro Shown at IPCPR - Cigar News

La Palina Cigars doth did choose to unveil its newest and sixth iteration of their Goldie at IPCPR 2017. This year's offering is a 652 Toro, easily if not creatively moniker'd the La Palina Goldie Toro. The initial Goldie release occurred back in 2012 via a 638 Petite Lancero known less easily yet more creatively as the Laguito No. 2. La Palina's Goldie hath since become a yearly offering, each in a different format.

A roll-call of vitolas reads thusly: Laguito No. 2 in 2012, Laguito No. 5 in 2013, Laguito Especial in 2014, Laguito Robusto Extra in 2015, Dalia in 2016, and the one that warranted this write-up (I s'pose) the Toro. The Goldie recipe is together'd in the good ol' USofA at the El Titan de Bronze factory. It consists a' an Ecuadorian binder laid twixt Nicaraguan and Dominican guts with an Ecuadorian top-leaf over-top.

Cigar-Coop: "The Goldie line was created as a tribute to Goldie Drell Paley, the wife of Sam Paley – who originally founded the La Palina brand back in 1896. It is meant to be a tribute to the accomplishments of women in the cigar industry. Once again, Miami’s El Titan de Bronze will be the factory where the Goldie is made and once again the roller will be Maria Sierra. Sierra is a 95 rated, category 9 roller trained by Fidel Castro’s personal roller Eduardo Rivera Izarri as well as Avelino Lara (Cohiba). The blend incorporates a high priming medio tiempo leaf – something only found in about 10 percent of tobacco plants." Will soitenly do bring it.
