What a great cigar. Smooth and woody, toast, cocoa and a slight dark fruitiness in the background.

Quai d'Orsay No. 54 MSU Jul 2018

I smoked this 'right-off-the-truck' to compare it to the Quai d'Orsay No.50 I smoked this week. As you may be aware, the hype on these new releases is very hot, a re-branding so successful that demand can't keep up, a new 2019 Hermosos No.2 Limited Edition is coming out (yes it's true and Quai d'Orsay is not even a Global Brand...but hey, we did get the Punch Regios de Punch LE in 2017 too!) and the price on these is going up 8% in April, 2019. So you got all that? It's a lot to take in!

Back to the important stuff...how did this smoke in comparison to the QdO No.50? I found the 50 more flavoursome and complex in general for this stage of its youth. The No.54 began with creamy, cedar and hazelnut notes, but these soon settled into the middle third with a faint shortbread flavour. The final third saw the return of the cedar and hazelnut. In between there was a little honey and/or vanilla sweetness but honestly, at this stage, not much. Both the Nos'. 50 and 54 were impeccably constructed and smoked very well. Ash was consistent. They were both very mild smokes, you could easily smoke either one first thing in the morning and they wouldn't overwhelm your palate.

Perhaps I will smoke a few more of these soon to get more notes but in summary, I would think the No.50 is more approachable right now and the No.54 is more suited to a good 3 to 5 years rest from my experience with cigars like these, just like traditional Quai d'Orsay releases.

Last of Spring Training. I am obsessed with baseball almosted as much as cigars and Whiskey. It is the rules that have me addicted.

Partagas E2, MSU JUN 18. Very enjoyable: fragrant cedar with some underlying sweetness, building very gradually from light to under medium body. Super burn for a young stick.

Spent the day in Quebec City and had time to stop for a cigar. Happily paid a $5 cutting fee to enjoy a SOM SEP 15 Punch Punch from a cab.

Thanks for these observations! Got a box each (10) coming and excited to try them, and these notes will help. ??

Bolivar Coronas Junior ETP DIC 16

Love this little cigar, packed full of flavor. This one intensified all the way to the end, unlike my last one for the Bolivar review weekend.  Nubbed it with my perfect draw tool, first use. A fitting dessert after steak and a glass of cab sauv. Life is good.

Smoking a VR Don Alejandro at the Emirates Lounge in Dubai. Just bought the box SUE NOV 14 an hour ago here at the airport. Was the last one they has, luckily I bought another box here last month! According to the manager they’re out of stock and won’t get any more.

 

 

Smokes very well, medium bodied, loads of creme, heaps of smoke. So nice that there are still some airports in this world where you can sit back and relax with a good cigar!

Stock up if you can still find them anywhere!

 

Got back to work, we’re sitting at a Marina in Mahe/Seychelles, getting ready for the last guest trip of the season.
I’m enjoying the weather and a custom rolled ‘Monte’ Edmundo, picked up a fiver five years ago from a Habanos roller outside a Cuban restaurant (now closed down I believe) on Curaçao.
