La Palina releases the second Goldie from the La Palina Collection:
The Goldie Laguito No.5
Goldie Drell Paley, the namesake of La Palina cigars, was the wife of Samuel Paley,
who founded the company in 1896. Bill Paley, Sam’s grandson and current owner,
created The La Palina Collection Goldie to celebrate the history, contributions and
accomplishments of women in the cigar industry. Bill is proud to present the initial
release of the new Goldie in late May, with a second release in August of 2013. The
La Palina Collection Goldie Laguito No.5 will be limited to 2500 numbered boxes.
Produced at the El Titan de Bronze factory in the Little Havana neighborhood of
Miami, the Goldie is made under the supervision of owner Sandra Cobas. The La
Palina Goldie Laguito No.5 will be a 5 5/8 x 54 cigar and presented in boxes of 10.
Master roller Maria Sierra, who will have signed each numbered box, rolled the entire
La Palina Collection Goldie Laguito No.5 release. Maria was one of the first women
trained to roll cigars in Cuba. Her historic 32 year career at Villa El Laguito began
July 22, 1967. Maria is a 95 rated, category 9 roller trained by Fidel Castro’s personal
roller Eduardo Rivera Irizarri, as well as Avelino Lara, the creator of the legendary
Cohiba blend.
Each cigar is finished in the traditional Laguito style with a fan cap, exclusively taught
to rollers at Villa El Laguito. The Goldie is blended with the prized Medio Tiempo
leaf, found on only 10% of tobacco plants.
The La Palina Collection Goldie Laguito No.5 embodies the tradition, expertise and
passion of women in the cigar industry.
Bill Paley and La Palina will debut the La Palina Collection Goldie Laguito No.5 at
Nat Sherman International in NYC on May 9, 2013. Maria Sierra will be rolling the
Goldie Laguito No.5 at the event. Please contact Nat Sherman 1-800-MY-CIGAR
regarding attendance. The May release will be limited to 1000 boxes, and distributed
to select accounts across the country. The rest of the release will become available
sometime in August.
