The La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo is a medium bodied premium cigar that uses the hard-to-get medio tiempo leaves in its filler. Medio Tiempo leaves, which grow above ligero leaves, are the top most leaves of the tobacco plant. They are considered rare because they only grow on a small number of tobacco plants. These prized leaves get the most exposure from the sun and are valued for their flavor and strength. The cigar sports a deliciously dark chocolatey Ecuadorian Ligero Sumatra wrapper placed over a USA Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a filler made of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican Republic Dominican Piloto medio tiempo leaves. This five-nation blend delivers a complexity of flavors and an intensity of strength to create an exceptional smoking experience. The La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo is expertly hand crafted at the historic El Credito factory in the Dominican Republic.
