La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo Robusto

Cigar Reviewed: La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo

Smoked at: Mesa, AZ

My wife and I reviewed this cigar together. Here's our review about this Medium to Full Body La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo which means Half Time. First third started off with Coca and Wood notes, instantly sap from the filler. Stayed lit for two minutes during a rest, went out in ten minutes during a rest, stayed lit while smoking, combustion opened more throughout. Medio Tiempo has a beautiful light veiny broadleaf wrapper, I wouldn't call it a maduro. Strong flaky dark gray ash and it burned just about even throughout. We thought it was a rustic medium body before strengthening in body. Second third, half an hour in, lost the sap, gotten sweeter than coca, which we couldn't put our tongues on. The final third, lost the sweetness, body became fuller and it was a 45 minute smoke. If you're going to smoke this cigar, you might want to eat something first because it's one of those cigars than builds in strength.
