La Palina Blue Label cigars
La Palina Blue Label cigars are part of a line crafted to offer a refined and robust smoking experience. Launched as a tribute to the original La Palina brand, which dates back to the early 1900s, the Blue Label series represents a modern take on classic Cuban-inspired cigars.
History: La Palina was founded by Samuel Paley in 1896, and it quickly gained a reputation for high-quality cigars. The brand experienced a resurgence in the 21st century under the leadership of Bill Paley, Samuel’s grandson. The Blue Label series was introduced to combine traditional cigar-making techniques with contemporary flavor profiles, maintaining La Palina’s legacy of excellence.
