La Palina 1948

La Palina 1948 is a 91 rated cigar by Cigar Aficionado. The La Palina 1948 is a exciting new line from La Palina & Oliva. Named La Palina 1948 to celebrate the 75th birthday of company chairman Bill Paley, everyone involved wanted to make this cigar very special, so working with Oliva was a no-brainer. Using a sun-grown Ecuadoran Sumatra wrapper that has been aged for at least 2 years. Underneath that is a Nicaraguan binder leaf and long-fillers all grown by Oliva. Medium to full in body, expect a nutty, spicy, leathery flavor profile. Box-pressed.
