La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4 (circa 2016)

At any one time it is said that one-quarter to one-third of regular production Habanos cigars is in hiatus. As there are 212 current regular production cigars at the time of writing (69 pre-1960 cigars, 120 post-1960 cigars and 23 La Casa del Habanos and Habanos Specialist cigars), you have to agree, that's quite a number of cigars (something like 53 to 71 cigars currently, based on that cited figure). The one cigar of all these in recent hiatus that gets mentioned the most on our forum lately is the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4.

But what exactly makes the LGC MdO4 so popular? I believe there are three reasons; firstly, it's a slim panatela vitola, one of the last of its kind in regular production (apart from the Por Larranaga Montecarlos), secondly, its the last regular production La Gloria Cubana cigar left (if you don't count the LCDH Inmensos, Piramides and Robusto Extra releases) and lastly, it tends to be a wonderfully complex cigar.

This Medaille d'Or No.4 was indeed wonderfully complex. Gifted by @Luca (thank you kindly) and from circa 2016, the first third was all almond nut and fruit flavours, whilst the middle third saw more woody characteristics and the last third picked up in pepper. In the meantime, it was very, very satisfying.

When will the La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.4 come back, I hear you say? The last box codes confirmed on our forum were a little over two years ago (around March 2018). Your guess is as good as mine. One thing I can say, the reason for hiatuses is not always due to leaf quality or lack thereof. Sometimes its packaging issues and alternatively it can be a combination of both. Here's hoping they return soon!

RAT DIC 19 Propios yesterday morning. Really enjoying these.

I had another Alex Robusto earlier and again the construction was perfect. Overall a very good cigar.

For my pre Canada Day celebration I am having a Esplendidos from some 3 packs I picked up in Cuba last October. Enjoying the first third now with an Americano and then have some rum waiting to have with it.

RyJ Belicoso ATE MAY 19 FOH PSP. Mild, very good but not quite my thing.

Connie 1, 2019 I think (FOH clearance 1/4 box). Definitely my thing, these have been excellent.

I started the day with a CoRo and ended the day with a CoRo, with a few other cigars in between.

Old RyJ Belicosi, I didn’t bring the box with me and I forget the year.

Tat CG 2013. A solid smoke! These are the cigars that Pete Johnson and Pepin made to try and blend a cigar that was like a farm roll he had while in Cuba.

LMB OCT 18 D4. Draw is Firm yet producing ample smoke. Excellent 

Christmas Sampler QD 54 goes down! Definitely more teeth than the 50 and excellent as well.

After a little over 2,000 miles, had a RyJ Petit Royale in Bozeman. MT.  Beautiful evening and view.  Moving to PNW, it's been a weird time, but gorgeous drive for the most part

How are you liking those ESP 2 compared to rest of monte lineup?

[Monocle]

I’ve swiftly moved away from NCs since discovering the joy of FOH but this was a strikingly good smoke. Perfect construction, enjoyable blend, plentiful smoke. It has been awhile since I’ve had a Davidoff but looks like it needs to be added back in into the rotation.

Day Trip to LCDH Chateau Henri Cologne - excellent cigars and lunch with my good buddies from Belgium and the Netherlands at this iconic pipe and cigar museum.
