La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or no. 2 MUR 2013 gifted by @tone-ny
Dry Draw is a little tight which has me worried a little. But can make out baking spices and dried fruit.
As I begin the floral notes stand out. About a half inch in and this cigar just opens up. Notes of honey, sweetbread, and salt. As the first third is winding down I am picking up some orange zest and cinnamon. The smoke has a silky smooth texture. Even the foot smoke is pleasant.
As I enter the second third starting to pick up a little bit of leather and cedar, but the salty floral notes are still there, along with baking spices. This cigars floral notes are like smoking a bottle of Tom Ford perfume, It is simply amazing at this point.
The last third has started to transition a little to white pepper, leather, but the floral notes are still very prominent. Half way through the final third a note appears, toast but the retro reminds me of honeysuckle.
As I take this cigar down to the nub, it has begun to get more spicy, more like red pepper. But the overall note is still very floral.
Final thoughts are this cigar is one of the smoothest, most complex cigars I have ever smoked, all while holding that floral note throughout. Sitting here as I finish up, Alice In Chains - Nutshell playing on the radio, I check my phone and two hours have just flown by. leaving me wishing I had just one more puff. Anthony I cannot thank you enough for this experience, it was exceptional!!!
