The La Gloria Cubana Médaille d’Or No. 4 is an elegant panatella measuring 152 mm by a 32 ring gauge, offering a visually appealing profile. It opens with woody and spicy aromas, enhanced by an excellent draw—an essential feature for this slender size. The voluptuous smoke enriches the overall experience.
As the smoke rounds out in the second third, it becomes richer and more sumptuous, with intertwined notes of hazelnut and fresh herbs creating a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
In the final third, the strength builds confidently, returning spices to the forefront alongside hints of dried fruits. This cigar combines smoothness and power, is impeccably constructed, and offers a long smoking duration.
While it truly deserves a “coup de cœur,” its scarcity makes it a challenge to find.
