When a collector lifts the lid of a well‑aged humidor, a thin, elegant cigar often draws the eye—La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'Or No.3. This slender vitola embodies decades of Cuban cigar heritage, surviving the twists and turns of a changing industry while delivering a consistently refined smoke. Though its production line fell silent in 2010, the Medaille d'Or No.3 remains a sought‑after piece for those who value vintage Habanos craftsmanship.
Vitola & Technical Specs
The Medaille d'Or No.3 is catalogued under the factory name Panetelas Largas, a designation that points to its elongated, delicate form. With a modest ring gauge of 28 and a length of 175 mm (about 6 ⅞ inches), the cigar strikes a balance between a light draw and a lasting flavor. Its official weight of 5.01 g reflects the thin wrapper and carefully selected filler leaves that give the smoke its characteristic mellow profile.
