La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No. 3 Review:
Long slim panetelas which is the best La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or for many smokers. Draw problems in very rare occasions, almost never. Its tiny ring gauge can give us a wrong impression, because this stick hides big complexity. Fruity complex taste and aftertaste.

Review #11:  Excellent cigar & one of my favorite "undiscovered" gems. Taste as previouly described & beautiful 8-9-8 presentation in lacquered box. Remember though that due to the size it will heat up on you if you smoke it too fast or puff it like a robusto, definitely a more refined smoke for moments of quiet reflection on the back porch. Excellent construction, and out of the 3 or so boxes I've smoked over the years I think I have only encountered 1 dud. Thank god they remain undiscoved by most, keeping the price reasonable. So if you can't make it to the island, they can be found online for around $130 a box. - Submitted by oc2noho on March 25, 2008
Review #10: Good quality tobacco, with some slight richness to it. Burn was good, no problems at all. Flavors weren't bad. But it was just a teeny tiny tad bit harsh for me. Will have to try again at another time, but I think the ring gauge is maybe too thin for me. But I love Por Larranga Monte Carlos, which are a little bit thicker I think. - Submitted by Jimbo on August 30, 2007
Review #9: Very nice cigar when not too tigh ! - Submitted by kriss on July 11, 2007
Review #8: this is soft stuff, but excellent! Only have a couple of them, have a box of No 4's. So this one is soft, find it creamy... tastewise reminds me of a Trinidad reyes, certainly in the start, or am I wrong. Looks for girls, indeed, man are 'supposed' to smoke big now, but occasionaly I go for this sensitive looking one... If cubans are trying to get ridd of them, I would certainly want to try and help them! Price quality 8,5 - Submitted by Yapi on July 5, 2007
Review #7: Just cracked a 2002 box, straight from Havana. What a fun smoke! Though it looks almost ridiculous, this cigar smokes like a dream. Perfect draw, even burn, delicate floral-fruity aroma, and a rich, high-toned taste. I'll take one of these, any time, over the 52-gage monsters currently in style. Especially interesting as the price in Cuba has been seriously reduced, to CUC 73.75/box. - Submitted by MontrealRon on May 28, 2007
