Description

La Palina has a unique history that started in the late 1880s when Sam Paley emigrated from the Ukraine to Chicago. He soon started working as a lector at a cigar factory where he read novels, magazines and newspapers to the cigar rollers. Over time he gained interest in the tobacco industry. Shortly after, he was promoted to roller, then to blender. In 1896 Mr. Paley opened Congress Cigar Company, whose first product was named La Palina in honor of his wife Goldie Drell Paley. Decades later, grandson Bill Paley went back to his roots and resurrected the La Palina brand in 2010. Originally created as a test cigar that was stored in Bill Paley’s aging room to enjoy whenever he was at the factory, this smoke never got a full release. Since then, it has been released but in an extremely limited fashion. In fact, everything about this cigar is limited, including knowing what the blend and binder are; we’ve been told that it’s Paley’s secret. One thing we know is that it hails from Nicaragua and has a corojo wrapper. Another thing we know is that it is super tasty with incredible balance, complexity, and sweetness.
