La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 4

This slender cigar boasts a distinctive wrapper with a network of veins and noticeable staining. While it provides a satisfying draw, the smoke it produces is somewhat one-dimensional and lacking in depth. The finish is characterized by a rich, earthy muskiness. The flavor profile is complex, featuring notes of fruit, wood, and cream, complemented by hints of almond, herbal undertones, and a touch of spice. Additional nuances include floral sweetness, nutty undertones, citrus, and a subtle peppery zing. Further flavor components encompass lemon, vanilla, cedar, cherry, coffee, and a buttery shortbread quality. The cigar also exhibits earthy, toasty notes, along with hints of spiced cake, marzipan, and a tangy, stone fruit flavor. Other subtle notes include grassy undertones, banana, honey, and a hay-like dryness, all rounding out to a flavor experience that concludes with a cake-like sweetness.
