Goldie was the wife of Sam Paley, who founded La Palina in 1896. La Palina Goldie collection was released in 2012 to celebrate the women in the cigar industry. Until 2016, each Goldie cigar was rolled by Maria Sierra, one of the first women trained to roll cigars in Cuba since 1967. She finished each cigar in the traditional Laguito style with a fan cap (El Laguito is the Cuban factory that makes Cohiba). Ms. Sierra no longer rolls these cigars but they are still carefully handrolled by one dedicated roller. The Goldie is blended with prized Medio Tiempo leaf, found on only 10% of tobacco plants. The wrapper is Ecuadorian Habano, binder from Ecuador and filler from Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Only 2500 numbered boxes of 10 are made.
