Very smooth and pleasant smoke, I can recommend it sincerely. Maybe a little stronger would be better.
Appearance : Rating: 
Looks for girls, indeed, men are ‘supposed’ to smoke big now, but occasionaly I go for this sensitive looking one…
Construction : Rating:
The burn and construction are always flawless with a perfect draw. More resistant to overheating than most large gauge cigars.
Flavor : Rating:
Fruity and spicy with a woody and honey sweetness. Slightly salty as well, especially in the finish. A bit more refined and subtle and a bit milder than No. 4. The taste is rich albeit with subtle nuances, so it should be smoked with mineral water or light coffe, and not with anything strong.
Value : Rating:
Since the price has been reduced recently, La Gloria Cubana Medaille d’Or No. 3 became much more interesting.
Overall Rating : Overall Rating:
A cigar for the experienced smoker only. It takes some serious skill to smoke this slow enough and keep it lit in order to maximize its flavor and quality.
