La Palina Silver Label

The La Palina Silver Label is handmade in Honduras and considered to be La Palina’s most full-bodied cigar. It features a Honduran Cuban-seed wrapper that covers a Costa Rican binder, and a blended filler made of tobaccos from Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The La Palina Silver Label has an overall spicy profile.

Cigar Origin
Honduras
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.
