They are my everyday smokes and my local b&m guy blows everyone out the water on price. Got all 3 for $200

Another box of Goldies. I can't wait for the 2nd release. If it is anything like the original. I'm hoarding... big time.

Only you could still find a box of Goldie's just laying around these days, Eddie. Maybe you should just hire Maria Sierra as your personal roller? :)

OK, sell me on these.

Why? I did some looking because this is a fairly new name (remember I am speaking as one who has been smoking cigars for the last 33+ years).

They remind me of the boom years when new "boutique" cigars were always popping up. They'd sell for outrageous prices and then a year later you'd seem them at JRCigars for 1/3 - 1/10 the original price (yes, I bought a box of some Don ???????? cigars for $29 that had been selling for $290). Each had some great story of how historical they were, or their rollers came from the famed factory of ___insert own famous cigar manufacturer's name here____, or their tobacco was grown from some seed that was recently rediscovered, or.... (you get the idea).

Anyway, after having been through one boom with the fly-by-nights pedaling their wares, I am reluctant to drop my hard-earned $$ on something.

Tell me why these are the cat's asterisk? Why should I look for them? By the way, telling me Cigar Aficionado rated them highly doesn't mean jack diddly to me.

Tell me why I should find a couple of these to try out.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As someone who has smoked cigars for so long..... Wouldn't you agree most cigars on the market right now are way better in construction, flavor and general tobacco blending; then in the boom years....... We're not talking about JR cigars. For the most part I would think the general consensus is most big box house blends tend to suck. Btw I'm fairly certain that you don't have to worry about losing your hard earned money on these. They've been sold out since last fall for the most part.

Why seek them out? They're delicious. And like J said, good luck finding them, they've been sold out everywhere. But you're right, they're probably no good....

I agree with jfire. There are some amazing cigars these days, and some utter crap. Some of the amazing cigars are expensive, but some are cheap (and same for the crap, lol). The only way to know if a cigar is "legit" is to try it.

FWIW, I LOVE the Goldies. Awesome smokes. I think they have a very unique flavor profile, and burn for much longer than you'd think based on the size. I'd love to find more, and am looking forward to trying the new size. But that's me! As with all cigars, you've just got to try a couple to know if it's for you.

While I agree that La Palina's marketing campaign of starting at super premiums and then making budget smokes is puzzling. I'm not concerned that the brand will turn into cheap bundled smokes anytime soon. So far their secondary releases have been of high quality as well. Try the La Palina Maduro when you get the chance. It is quite delicious. Like your signature states, I am simply smoking and buying what I enjoy. I'm not out to sell the cigar or brand to you. Taste is subjective. Cost is subjective.
