La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo

Medio Tiempo spotlights the rare medio tiempo primings—thick, sun‑exposed leaves that sit above ligero—and places them inside a familiar La Gloria build. The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and multi‑country long‑fillers produces a dense, oily smoke: leather and coffee anchor the profile, a buttery, nutty mid‑palate provides texture, and a light baking‑spice dusting keeps the blend moving. Construction at release tended toward firm and straightforward, and the series’ three punchy sizes (Robusto, Toro, Churchill) concentrate the deeper, earthier and slightly meaty aspects that medio tiempo leaves accentuate.
