正文：拉帕利纳（La Palina）雪茄金装系列（Goldie）的最新一款产品是限量版雪茄，目前正向零售商发货。

这款雪茄48环径，7英寸，每盒10支装。只生产了1000盒。在迈阿密的青铜泰坦雪茄厂卷制。因为在美国本土生产，售价并不便宜，每支23美元。

茄衣是厄瓜多尔哈瓦那烟叶，茄套是厄瓜多尔烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合烟叶。茄芯里掺入了少量的尼加拉瓜的梅迪奥提姆波（medio tiempo）烟叶，这种烟叶产量稀缺，口味丰富，通常长在一些烟草植株的顶部。

金装系列2012年第一次发布，当时第一款产品是拉吉托2号，38环径，6英寸。后续又陆续推出了公牛（52环径，6英寸）、加农炮（Cañonazo）（52环径，5.875英寸）。金装系列的所有款式的茄帽都捏成一个标志性的辫子。这款丘吉尔是金装系列的第八款产品，今年夏季的美国PCA贸易展已经进行了预展。

The latest version of La Palina Goldie, a limited-edition cigar that’s only released in small quantities is now shipping to cigar stores.

Goldie is made with an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper, an Ecuadoran binder and filler leaf from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. According to La Palina Cigars, there’s a small amount of Nicaraguan medio tiempo leaf in the filler. Prized for its rarity and rich smoking characteristics, medio tiempo is a small, full-bodied sprouting of leaves that grow infrequently at the top of some tobacco plants.

Made in Miami at the El Titan de Bronze cigar factory, La Palina Goldie has appeared in various shapes and sizes over the years, and it now returns to retail stores as a Churchill. The cigar measures 7 inches by 48 ring gauge and comes packaged in 10-count wooden boxes. Only 1,000 boxes will be released. Because they’re made in Miami, the cigars don’t come cheap: the Goldie Churchill is priced at $23 per cigar.

La Palina Goldie was first released in 2012 in a slender 6 inch by 38 ring gauge shape called Laguito No. 2. In recent years, Goldie has appeared as a 6 by 52 Toro and a 5 7/8 by 52 format called Cañonazo. All Goldies are made with a signature pigtail cap. This Churchill is the eighth size in the Goldie line. The cigar made its debut at the PCA trade show earlier this summer.
