At the 2019 IPCPR Trade Show, La Palina Cigars will introduce the eighth installment of its annual Goldie series. This one features the iconic 7 x 48 Julieta size.
The Goldie line was created as a tribute to Goldie Drell Paley, the wife of Sam Paley – who 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 factory will handle production. The series was originally rolled by acclaimed Cuban roller, the late Maria Sierra, before she retired in 2017.
The blend features an Ecuadorian wrapper and binder over a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos that incorporates the often scarce high priming medio tiempo leaves.
As in previous years, the La Palina Goldie Julieta is packaged in 10-count boxes and production is limited. Pricing is set at $23.00 SRP per cigar.
The 2019 IPCPR Trade Show opens June 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
