Hirochi Robaina joining La Palina?

[ichett]

Just saw this tweet from La Palina,

Is Hirochi defecting too?

 

[StogieNinja]

Whoa.

Iirc he already worked with Cubacan and the result was the HR cigar.

Also, like this alot. La Palina has been making great cigars. Hope this takes them to an even higher level.

That's awesome! Jesus, Dunbarton, Foundation, Crowned Heads, My Father, Tatuaje, La Palina with Hirochi Robaina!!! This may be the golden age of cigars!

 

[Catawbamatt]

SWEET, the HR that he did with Cubanacan is one of my favorite NC's. Can't wait to see what he does with La Palina.

 

[shadowcam]

Sweet. I hope this equals some more great cigars from La Palina.

Nice! I am closing my eyes and imaging myself smoking a Goldie HR!

 

[samb]

I hope he does great things!

This bit is interesting:
"Robaina will be attending the IPCPR Convention & Trade Show next week in New Orleans and will be part of the La Palina booth, but the HR line will not be for sale through La Palina. According to Paley, it will continue to exist, with retailers directed to contact Robaina directly."

I'm curious where this leaves Cubanacan. I've heard some interesting things that I can't share publicly, but I'm real curious what the official word will be.

I wonder is his next cigar will be over $8....

Interesting. . . Especially as your first post.

 

[Tennessee Dave]

Interesting indeed. I'll be watching this.

I lurk, primarily.

I lurk, primarily.

Nothing wrong with a little lurking, but post an introduction when you get a chance so we can get to know you.

Will do, though you may have seen me around. I've mainly posted on the CigarKing company account for the past couple years.

Looking at the press clippings from this, it appears that there is a bit of acrimony in play here (from a vendor not to be named). "Can't we all just get along?"
