Popular Post Stump89 Posted January 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2019 Famed roller Maria Sierra passed away yesterday. I've always found her story to be very interesting. She was one of the first women to be trained to roll cigars in Cuba, her training coming from Avelino Lara and Eduardo Rivera Irizarri. She spent many years working at the El Laguito factory, earning the title of category 9 roller, before coming to the US in recent years. Most recently she was the sole roller of the La Palina Goldie line until she retired in 2017. May she rest in peace. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fastmach1 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have two boxes of her La Palina Goldie’s stowed away. Pricey sticks but they are fantastic. The construction is second to none. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Not even 2 years into retirement. So sad This motivates me to get to retirement/semi-retirement as early as I possibly can. Life is too short... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad This motivates me to get to retirement/semi-retirement as early as I possibly can. Life is too short... *HERE! HERE! If The Good Lord allows me to see March of this year I'll be 62. And I WILL be looking into retirement, myself. I've already got early retirement from my job in Atlanta, and now I'll be of proper age to seek social security. I know it'll be more if I wait til I'm 65...but I don't know what or where I'll be by then - Remember Mel Brooks' song in "The Twelve Chairs": "I knew a man who saved a fortune that was splendid; then he died the day he went to go and spend it - Live while you're alive - No one will survive - There's no guaranteeeeeeee!!"
