This is an odd duck. I found this by accident at Cigar Page.
The La Palina 1896 Goldsmith was released in 2010 and then just disappeared.
The only reviews were 16 years ago.
I cannot find a single retailer that carries them.
These were $20 sticks in 2010.
Cigar Page is selling them for $2.75 each in 10-packs.

Cigar Aficionado was the only place I found definitive info. Although, I found three other 2010 reviews and they liked the blend immensely.
Here are the leaf stats:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian
Binder: Costa Rican
Filler: Honduran, Nicaraguan
Size: 4.75 x 52 Robusto
Strength: Medium

I’ve never smoked one. But I bought two tenners so I can dip my wick.
Are these cigars from the original release in 2010? I’m not sure, but I believe so. For less than $3 each, what’s the harm in finding out. They either unleash the dogs of war for aging perfectly, or they are deader than a doornail. Are you a gambler?
