Press Release: La Palina Debuts an Addition to its La Palina Collection: Mr. Sam

June 30, 2013 — Samuel Paley founded La Palina cigars in 1896, and Mr. Sam was the moniker bestowed upon him by the workers in his factory. As a Tribute to Samuel Paley, the La Palina Collection will unveil the Mr. Sam at the 2013 IPCPR Show in Las Vegas. The Palina Collection Mr. Sam is a limited production of 850 boxes of 10.

Mr. Sam was rolled at the El Titan de Bronze factory in Miami, FL. A dark Ecuadorian wrapper surrounds a Nicaraguan binder and flavor. This 4.75 x 54 Robusto is a must have for any cigar connoisseur.

Previous releases of the La Palina Collection include the 1896, Goldie Laguito No. 2, and Goldie Laguito No. 5.

Samuel Paley and his wife Goldie have been once again united, within the La Palina Collection.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
