La Gloria Cubana Medaille D\'Or No. 3 OSU OCT 00

[Kingantz]

I’ve always enjoyed these small gauge cigars, however quite a few out of this box had very tight draws, some plugged. This just happened to be the last one from this box and ended up having a perfect draw. It had a light brown wrapper with no noticeable oils and somewhat coarse with a small patchwork of veins. There was a good weight in the hand and a slight give when squeezed and nice bunching in the foot. Again, once punched, the pre-draw was perfect with a sweet, mature tobacco flavor.

I lit the foot and the smoke was smooth and buttery. If I could associate a color, it would definitely be golden. The smoke itself was a light medium with only the faintest hint of spiciness. A very creamy smoke rolled forth and a taste that of sweet hay. It had burn issues from the start, and I had to do a touch up here and there with a few re-lights. A storm started to blow in and the wind really picked up, which didn’t help matters. The finish was smooth as well, and I put it down as it neared the band. A nice finish to a delightful box of delicious smokes!

Great review and sensational photo's

One of those cigars which is on consideration for deletion in the next few years. Find a great box or a couple to lay down.
