The La Palina Goldie is one of the most coveted ultra-premium cigars in the world, celebrated for its artistry, exclusivity, and extraordinary flavor. Named after Goldie Drell Paley, wife of company founder Sam Paley, this cigar embodies elegance and tradition at the highest level.

First crafted in Miami’s Little Havana at El Titan de Bronze, the Goldie was originally rolled exclusively by Maria Sierra, one of the first women ever trained to roll Cuban cigars in Havana. Sierra spent years producing legendary Cohibas before becoming the sole torcedora of La Palina Goldie until her retirement in 2017. Today, her legacy lives on, as La Palina continues to maintain the Goldie’s uncompromising standards of quality with extremely limited production.

What makes the Goldie so special is its inclusion of the rare Medio Tiempo leaves—found only in a small fraction of tobacco plants. These leaves deliver remarkable strength, depth, and complexity. The cigars are finished in traditional Cuban style, topped with a fan-tail cap that highlights their craftsmanship.

Wrapped in a flawless Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, the Goldie offers an exquisite marriage of flavors. Smokers can expect refined notes of nuts, spice, cedar, and earth, accented by bursts of sweet and creamy nuances that linger on the palate.

The La Palina Goldie is more than a cigar—it is a collector’s piece, a celebration of heritage, and a symbol of what true hand-rolled luxury represents. For enthusiasts and collectors who demand the very best, the Goldie remains a must-try unicorn cigar.
