Which regular production Quai d'Orsay do you prefer?

[El Presidente]

This was a question I was asked yesterday. 

I am not the arbiter of Habanos taste .......so I would love you to have your say. 

[Tunkat92]

Right now the QDOCC, only bad experience with I had with them was my 2021 box. The QDO52’s may be a close second. Don’t love the size but the couple I had seemed to be promising.

The new 52 are the bomb. The Claro is a Cuban Cigar God send. 

I will pray to them again today and continue to ask not to strike down upon you with furious vengeance and anger for becoming the heathen you are.

Every Coronas Claro I've had has been under-filled. An unusual problem to have with CCs. I find the 50s much more reliable.

[Lt4-396]

The last 4+ years and especially 21'-22' QDCC are unbelievably good. Pre price hike I snagged every single box I could find, glad I did. The #52s are very good as well but still need more time before they can truly be ranked. Fortunately the Corona and Robusto Extra are my two favorite cigar sizes, but still prefer the Corona. Also, not sure if I just got lucky but all my QDCC boxes are from the Partagas factory. I would think they roll them at provincial as well but unsure.

I voted 50. They are consistent.

The box of 50's I have now a few years on them and are starting to become something. I voted for the Corona, but maybe should reconsider.  The newer Coronas aren't as good as ~'01 era of the same cigar.

The 50 starts out well, then it becomes good and then just as it begins to become really good it's over. Never had a bad one; they are too short in format for that particular blend. Really looking forward for 18 months on the 52. And beyond!

I've had bad luck with the 50 and never had a Corona Claro so I'll go with the 52, I'd say it's one of the best cigars out there 😍 

I like the 54 too but it's too big a cepo to my taste.

[NSXCIGAR]

I have to go Coronas. When they're on they're a real delight and still the same as they were 20+ years ago. 

The 54 and 52 are jockeying for my No. 2 spot but the 54 still has it right now. The 50 I just can't warm up to. 

[SMELTZ]

The 52 is new and young, but it is the best of what Q’Orsay has to offer. You all have to try the 52, it is just on another level. A flavor bomb at its best. 

[99call]

Ideally it would be the Grand Corona in size, but my favourite is the Coronas Claro. The blend has changed slightly. 2015- 16-17's were full of cream, anise, orange, toasted oats etc etc. The new band Coronas Claro seem to deliver their orange flavour in a much more Juan Lopez king of way. Or maybe that's just the boxes I'm smoking from. 

52's are very erratic at the moment, and have a ton of flavour (some good-some bad). But I do think they have the potential to be a future classic. 

54's are next, bought them mainly during droughts of the Coronas Claro. They are nice, but a horrible size.

50's, these leave me cold.  

[CaptainQuintero]

  It was always a toss up between the panetelas and the corona for me, in fact I think the panetelas have given me some of the biggest 'wtf moments' with it's flavours that I've ever received from a cigar. But with the deletion of that, the Corona would have to be my pick, although I've not tried them since the blend change.

Not a fan of the 50 or 54 but the 52 is excellent. What a stick.
