La Palina to Roll Out Two New Blends & New Series at IPCPR - Cigar News

La Palina hatch announced their up-coming IPCPR trade-show tandem of new-releases. These 'uns are set to sail under the banner of their new Numbers Series. This move is said to usher into the company portfolio a new look and flavor. They will be rolled at the Nestor Plasencia owned El Paraiso factory in Honduras.
As to said new look, La Palina 'drew' inspiration from one Mr. Paul Rand, whom's known for drawing the logos of IBM and UPS. Whilst he done did actually once design a logo and packaging for La Palina - as stated, these are merely influenced by he. They look quite nice, but outta place on a cigar.
