La Gloria Cubana Medaille D'oro No. 4 BUP SEP 16: 46 South Review Weekend.

[nsills]

Picked up a MDo4 this morning from my 'aging' cooledor. The last 10 I've picked from this box have been plugged to all hell (at 60 RH) so imagine my surprise, the gods have graced this stick! Perfect draw. 

First third: nice big plumes of smoke, immediate hit of fruit cake. Lovely with the cinnamon coffee this morning. Interplay of sweetness and tartness do wonders. 

Second third: if there's one thing I can say, when these are on they are ON. And consistent throughout. Flavors and flavors coming through with each puff. Not variable or complex at all but I'm not complaining. 

Final third: I finish my coffee early, as the end of the cigar rounds out with an additional bread flavor in addition to the fruit. Something like banana nut bread. Still smooth to the end with little elbow. 

Maybe these are better off at 68 RH? I'll never know with Cuba. Just lovely. 

This would be my go to over the PL Montecarlo at least until they have that 5+ years of age.
