jliu:msrp $16 bucks a stick? hmmm. I did LOVE the goldie 2s though. Goldie 5 not so much...
Ken Light: jliu:msrp $16 bucks a stick? hmmm. I did LOVE the goldie 2s though. Goldie 5 not so much... Isn't the 2 already a lancero? Or is it slightly off from a traditional one?
smoke em if you got em:Coming in May....that's wsup!!
Cigary:Not sure if this line of cigars can command this type of charge when there are so many other brands out there that are just as good...for half the price. I see this type of thing happen too often...a cigar has not even come out into the market and already they are saying that the cigar is going to cost X number of dollars...for a lancero????? I can buy Cohibas and "other out of the country cigars" for less and are better. This is what really ticks me off about the cigar business....they are already being attacked in the world as an unsafe hobby....but to add cost when the business is already suffering and try to get $19 for a lancero...for one stick....I don't think so.

I think I'm overall on page with what you're saying Gary. For my personal taste, I can find better tasting and cheaper lanceros than these Goldies that will hopefully taste good. Namely cc.
zeebra:I just got some Cohiba Esplendidos at $18 per...I'll stick to those
Cigary:Yes, the market will determine the "true" value of this cigar but to come right out of the gate to say this stick is worth $19....somebodys smoking crack here. No, I have not tried this cigar and won't....I don't rush along with the crowd every time a cigar comes into the market otherwise I'd be broke. I do know a lot of brands and I can buy CC's and NC's all day long for half of what this brand is charging. When you look at their inventory of other cigars you notice: La Palina Classic Lancero $114 a box....$5.70 a stick..... One has to wonder how you can charge $19 for one lancero while the Classic is $5.70...is the goldie made from a tobacco better than others and made and rolled between the thighs of virgins? Hardly...this is what frustrates a cigar enthusiast when manufacturers pull this garbage hoping to fool us into following the dust from the herd. I read a lot of reviews on the Classic Lancero and they were pretty positive and I'd rather smoke a box of these at $114 for 20 sticks than to order 6 of the $19 Goldies...the idea of having an extra 14 cigars gives me more inspiration to buy those instead of the overpriced Lanceros...JMHO.
Bigshizza:La Palina is solid all the way around. #5 is good but #2 is better but also really enjoy Mr. Sam, KB I and KB II a lot! They are consistently good!
SleevePlz: Bigshizza:La Palina is solid all the way around. #5 is good but #2 is better but also really enjoy Mr. Sam, KB I and KB II a lot! They are consistently good! Right on! Had a KB II the other day at the lounge. Couldn't decide what to grab, so I went with a fool-proof choice. For the record, people were complaining we don't debate enough around here. Thanks for the kick in the pants. I like being a little feisty!

I'm not trying to convince you to buy it, but for starters, the list price is $16.50, not $19. Second, this would be like complaining that Padron shouldn't sell their Family Reserve lines for $20+ because I can buy a Padron 2000 for $4. It has already been established that the Goldie #2 was really good (according to most reviews) and I imagine the lancero will be rather similar given the size. All in all, I really like what La Palina is doing. No frills, just good cigars at every price point rolled right here in the US.
