La Palina Adds White Label as TAA Exclusive
This May, a new exclusive cigar from La Palina is scheduled to arrive on the shelves of Tobacconists’ Association of America retailers.
At the TAA’s meeting this week, the company announced the La Palina White Label, a 6 x 50 toro vitola that uses a Honduran-grown Connecticut seed wrapper, a binder from Mexico’s San Andrés region, and a filler of Mexican San Andrés-grown tobacco and Dominican piloto cubano. The company calls it a mild blend that still offers flavor and complexity.
It is priced at $10 per cigar, before taxes, with the company producing 1,000 boxes of 20 cigars, a total run of 20,000 cigars. It is being made at the HATSA factory in Danlí, Honduras.
Shortly after this story was published, La Palina clarified the components of the filler, noting the piloto cubano came from the Dominican Republic.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
