Description
The La Palina Goldie Laguito Especial Series 2 is a 7 x 40 lancero that pairs an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Ecuadorian binder with filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. La Palina has it made at El Titan de Bronze in Miami, and halfwheel describes this as only the second production run of a Goldie size that debuted in 2014.
What It Tastes Like
No review of the Series 2 run has surfaced, so these notes describe the identically blended 2014 original. Cigar Coop’s October 29, 2014 review of that first release scored it 92, noting wood, cream and pepper early, then cedar with a butterscotch-like sweetness. halfwheel’s tasting found cedar, peanut and gingerbread giving way to citrus, bread and paprika, and said it turned harsh unless smoked slowly.
Who It’s For
- Lancero devotees who like the wrapper-forward profile of a 40 ring.
- Collectors of the Goldie series who missed the Laguito Especial when it first appeared in 2014.
- Patient smokers happy to take a seven-inch cigar slowly.
