Had My Frist La Palina Today

[Argus17]

Black Label Toro. Saw a 5ver going cheap, and grabbed it on a whim. After I took it out of the cello, I sniffed the thing, and it had the most unique, sweet fragrance of any cigar I can remember. Pre-draw was cherries, nuts, chocolate and coffee. I didn't know whether to smoke it or eat it. I can only describe the flavor as rich, creamy, sweet and decadent. Gobs and gobs of thick white smoke. Wet oil line 1/4" behind the burn line all the way to the nub. Easily one of the top 10 cigars I've ever smoked. I'm hooked.

Just grabbed 2 5vers of the Red Label to try. If these are anywhere near as good, I'll be looking into the other lines as well. Too bad they are so stink'n expensive. Since I enjoy having a roof over my head, and food on my table, I guess I'll just have to dedicate them to "special occasions", lol.

Keep an eye out on the "official cigar deals" thread and also check our site sponsors for some sweet deals and discounts. You might get lucky with the la palina line sometimes.

You definitely need to try the Goldie Lancero. That was the first one I ever smoked (with much thanks to Paul @Senor Perfecto) and it was ridiculously good. In my top 5 for sure.

Just missed a sale of these on JR, $20 for a fiver.

Indeed I just ordered 2 Goldies $20.00 sometimes you just have to pay the $ n enjoy. Atlantic Cigars has 8 left as far as singles.

You best leave the Goldies to us homeless people.

I stick with the ETdB made La Palinas. Not really much of a fan of anything made at PDR.

 

[memphsdad]

the lower line la palinas are always available on cbid for affordable pricing

also, agreed about the goldies, but they are damn spendy

I wouldn't pay retail for Goldies at this point. Too many people don't think it's a sexy brand or it's past the hype so they start selling them on the secondary market. I love buyer's remorse, saves me all kinds of money. You can pick up boxes of most sizes in the $120-$130 range not the No. 2 of course. Not saying $12 a cigar is cheap by any means but the retail price of those is silly.

I appreciate all the replies and advice. Thanks.
