Presentation
The La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'Or No. 4 comes in a varnished 898 box with Habanos Packing Code 898-VW-SR-8,9,8-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 152 mm
Diameter: 12.70 mm
Ring gauge: 32
Shape: Slim Panetela / Palmitas
Appearance:
The wrapper is silky soft with a little oily texture to it. It is a light brown color with no veins to speak of, and the wrapper appears thin enough to see the details of the binder underneath.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
As cutting the triple cap and taking a cold draw, one gets a very sweet hay and grass notes with a little cedar in the background. There are similar notes coming off the foot of the cigar.
Burn/ Draw
Also to note the draw is perfect and not tight at all.
Initial third:
Right from the start the cigar produces lots of smoke, while dissipating during the first third. The dominant flavors are of nuts and almonds. We can also detect some herbal notes, and some woody touches of cedar bark.
Middle third:
The second third goes on with the same flavor profile as in the first third. Aromas of nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts and rich fresh herbal aromas dominate. As the draw becomes even better, we can now appreciate the woody notes of moist cedar bark even more. In the background also appear some leathery notes and some touches of light graham cracker.
Final third:
During the final third, the cigar produces even more smoke, but this doesn’t you to fully enjoy the flavors of the Medaille d’Or No.4. On top of the nutty and woody flavors, there are now notes of leather and dry fruits. The cigar also becomes hotter when it’s time to put it down.
In summary, this cigar produces lots of smoke, surely due to its excellent construction. But smoked slowly (as it should be), the Medaille d’Or No.4 offers all its richness for your palate.
Smoking time:
60 - 75 Minutes

Better get them

By Chris - Just arrived. I’ll let them rest a couple weeks, but from my last box I’ve never had so much taste and a small cigar. They look great and smell even better. So, even though I usually dislike small gauge cigars this is a must!

I was very excited to get these cigars.. Beautiful box and lots of good reviews everywhere.
I usually smoke every cigar right off the truck, this one had little tough draw and went out few times.
I will need to rest these in my humidor and see if it gets better. -

By Steve - Great cigar, nice creamy, vanilla finish that you wanna burn down to your fingers. Great even burn, perfect for a quick smoke. Will definitely get again!

La Gloria Indeed!

By Robert - One has to love the presentation of this cigar - long sleek shape, nice varnished box. I'm not normally a big fan of skinny cigars, but this stick was very enjoyable (albeit a short smoke). Pre-light aroma was distinctively Cuban - rich tobacco and slight pepper. The burn was consistent and provided a lot of good tasty smoke. This cigar is great for a quick smoke.

Surprisingly superior!

Never had so much flavor from a small gauged cigar.
Smooth, huge amounts of vanilla and wood.
These must not get rushed out of the door like some more well-known brands.
