Quai d'Orsay No. 50 SMA Jul 2018

Like the Trinidad La Trova, I've had enough of these now to qualify the Quai d'Orsay No.50 as a quality release. I've found the flavours consistent, construction excellent and ash-length and burn likewise, exemplary.

For me, these have what El Pres describes as an egg and butter Brioche soft bread flavour and texture to them. I've found that they also have a little cedar and ginger and/or toffee sweetness. The wrappers tends to be silky smooth and a consistent lighter colorado claro to claro wrapper shade on them.

I am still astounded by how much in demand these are, but yes, the reason for this is because the hype is indeed justified.

I must confess, in being a long time QDO fan, i'm not surprised in the least. I think the real biting point was that the last Imperiales and the 2015-16 Coronas really lifted their nose up on the appearance of the wrappers. They always had the flavour.....but then they started to look the part also.

To me when you line up the flavour profiles of Cohiba and QDO alongside one another:

Cohiba,    Honey, Hay, Citrus, Lemongrass, Butter, Cream, 

QDO,       Orange rind, Brioche, Anise, Cedar, Cream, Oats, 

To me the second list, not only sounds more indulgent, but also more intriguing.      I know I'm a bit down on Cohiba, but I think the majority are realising they can get something better, or equal to Cohiba, for less than half the price.     When you put it like that, it's not wonder people go bananas.

HU Magnum 54 - Dec 16

Another from EPM JUL 18.  This one was WHOA...

Complexity right from the first few puffs.  Toasted tobacco, twang, nuts, cream/butter, light cocoa, popcorn and oats.  It had the citrus, too, but it was really rich and dark – sort of like a ripe blood orange.  The second and last thirds also gave me earth and leather.  All the flavors moving freely in and out. Wow.  It's really nice to get a cigar like this once in a while.  At 15 months, can anyone ask for anything more from any cigar?

Celebrating my son’s 8th birthday with a 2011 RA Allones Extra, the year of his birth. Sadly I have one left and need to find more to enjoy one on his birthdays. I have several boxes of the RA club allones 2015 for my daughter’s birthdays. They should last until she is 21.

UTE Oct 16 RyJ PC. Chaser to Blind Tasting cigar #3, only because I detected some fruitiness in it. As enjoyable as #3 was, this is so much better. ROTT 2 years ago these were pepper bombs. Wow, what a difference a few years makes. This is all about barnyard, cream, cherry, and Cuban twang. Glad I took the blind plunge when they made a PSP showing in 2017 .

Aloha Friday wherever you are!

Boring. At least it was constructed well.
