I saw this as well, can't wait!
And since they seemed to have increased production to about 2000-2500 boxes, it should be easier to get
Although I am disappointed they are done with the first goldie and not bringing it back.

Saw these when I visited the El Titan De Bronze factory just before Chrismas....Can't wait!!!
I was there late on a Saturday and didn't get to see Maria working on them but the guy who was there told me that they were in the works. Here's a spy photo from their storage area....

That's a thing of beauty, Rupe. The only downfall on these look to be the price tag. I wouldn't be surprised if they're right at $20/stick. I liked the original Goldie so much, that'd I'm prolly gonna buy a box of these new ones regardless though.

i will just say that i am worried how the blend will transition into a larger vitola. but i REALLY hope they rock!
besides the MSRP more than likely rising, noted in the article from HW that it will be availible to 'select retailers'.... pretty sure these will be going for stupid prices on CBID, or if they even make it there :/
Kind of off topic, but is "Goldie" a nick name for that blend(the bands) or a specific size in the line? I'm assuming the entire line are known as goldies?

The full name of this new rendition is La Palina Goldie Laguito No. 5 (6 x 54). The original is La Palina Goldie Laguito No. 2 (6 x 38). They're named after Goldie Drell Paley, who was the wife of the founder of La Palina cigars, Sam Paley.

I gotcha. I guess I could have clicked the link first. :homer:
I meant I thought it was a nickname for the La Palinas with gold bands. Of course, this was before I realized that all of their cigars used gold bands. :hanghead:
