La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo

Top of the stalk!

Medio tiempo is the phrase of the day. For those not in the know, medio tiempo is not a tobacco varietal, but rather, a sprouting of two leaves that sometimes grows atop a tobacco plant getting the most direct sunlight and thus developing a concentrated strength. Now, not all tobacco plants are deemed worthy enough by mother nature to grow these leaves. In fact, its estimated that only one in ten plants produce these top leaves which makes them rare and highly coveted. Forged Cigars has gotten their hands on some meido tiempo from some Connecticut Habano tobacco plants grown in the Connecticut River Valley and decided to use them create La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo!

These Connecticut Habano meido tiempo tobacco leaves have combined with a Connecticut broadleaf binder, fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and wrapped up inside of a gorgeous Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. The result is an amazing medium-bodied profile that produces notes of cream, cedar, spice, and natural sweetness.  Don’t miss out on your chance to try a cigar made with some of the rarest tobacco leaves.
