La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo Toro Cigars

When a new cigar bears the La Gloria Cubana name, there is usually a ton of excitement that follows, and such was exactly the case when La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo Toro was released. The big story with this cigar is the use of medio tiempo tobacco in the filler blend. First utilized over a decade ago in the legendary Cuban Cohiba Behike BHK, medio tiempo tobacco is the very top priming of the tobacco plant, sprouting just above the ligero leaves when the plant is exposed to direct sunlight. Only certain strains of tobacco seeds yield these thick, flavor-rich leaves, so their use in cigars is not widely popular. However, when done right, medio tiempo leaves can take the flavor profile of a cigar to an entirely new level, as proven with this particular blend. La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo is rolled in the Dominican Republic at the General Cigar Dominicana factory and uses an elaborate 4-country filler blend consisting of long fillers from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the USA. The medio tiempo leaves are from USA Connecticut Habano tobacco grown specifically for this cigar. The binder is Connecticut Broadleaf from the USA and the wrapper is a dark, oily Ecuador Sumatra leaf that ties the whole package together.

The band is silver, gray, and black—different from the usual bright and happy yellow La Gloria bands we have all come to know and love. The packaging is modern and clean, and the construction of each vitola is nothing short of impeccable. An easy draw yields a massive cloud of smoke, with each puff, leaving no chance of missing out on all the dark, rich flavor this stick has to offer. The profile begins with a rich, dense tobacco flavor mixed with earthy sweetness and a complimenting dose of white pepper. Moving along, hints of oak and cocoa make appearances, as well as a faint touch of black cherry on the finish. Smooth, sweet, and bold, La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo finishes just shy of the full-bodied mark, with no shortcomings in the flavor department. The 6 1/8" x 50 Toro size is perhaps the most popular size of the bunch, offering a bold take on the blend due to its classic size and offering a more lengthy smoking experience.


Medium-full-bodied Cigar

This blend is a great choice for an intermediate cigar enthusiast looking to get into fuller-bodied cigars. Medium-full-bodied and displaying satisfying complexity, it should please seasoned connoisseurs as well. It pairs well with coffee or dark beer and is appropriate for any time of the day. Fans of sticks such as La Gloria Cubana Serie R or Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo would probably come to enjoy this blend, as it displays very similar flavor characteristics with a few new twists. "Medio Tiempo" literally translates to "half time," but we promise once you try La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo Toro, you will likely be wanting to smoke it ALL the time!
