Cedar and chocolate throughout, perfect construction, slight vanilla/lemon in the 2/3.

Popular Post JohnS Posted April 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2020 Quai d'Orsay No. 54 TOU May 2019 This was my first cigar from the 2019 Xmas Sampler and boy oh boy was I looking forward to it! The Quai d'Orsay No.54 is one of those cigars that I've lucked out on and I was eagerly hoping that today's QdO No.54 would be different. Alas, it was not to be! In Ken and El Pres' video review on this cigar in mid-2019, Rob mentioned that the Quai d'Orsay No.54 was the hottest selling cigar in the world, 75% of members raved about it and 25% wondered what the hype was all about and some even compared it to a Cohiba Siglo VI. Of course, many of us experienced challenging times even procuring a box from a 24:24 sale! The first half of this cigar was every bit as good as the very best Quai d'Orsay No.50s I've had. It was all creamy cedar, hay and butter and egg brioche...you know, wondrous soft pastry flavours. However, the burn started to go askew around half way through the first third, yet the taste was still on point. It was around the mark where the cigar reached halfway that I concluded that a new flavour; namely burnt wood and spice, wasn't really to my liking and the cigar thence became a real struggle to smoke through. Well, yes sure, Charles Dickens best captured the moment when he began his novel 'The Tale of Two Cities' thusly, "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times". Yeah...that about sums up this cigar today. I really couldn't put it any better myself. That's not the end of the story though. I've now had three ordinary Quay d'Orsay No.54s in a row. Surely an exemplary QdO No.54 is just around the corner? 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latte sounds delicious and you’ve given me an idea ? 21 hours ago, HoyoFan said: I still haven’t tried these. What’s the flavor profile like? Body? They’re great. Medium to medium-full for me. Some are darker cocoa, others like this one was like a medium baking cocoa, with some light spice. Different flavor from Montecristo. El Prez’s description is like baking chocolate with a prune. Definitely worth trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MigsG Posted April 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2020 I heard the best news that I’d been hoping and praying for the last 2 years. Someone very close to me was diagnosed as terminally ill with stage 4 cancer in the lungs and liver two years ago in Feb, 2018. The doctors at Oakland’s Kaiser Permanente gave up and told this person to enjoy the last few weeks- 3 months with family. I saw this person not lose hope but it was hard to watch the struggle mentally as well as the obvious physical deterioration. Last summer, still alive but barely hanging on, the new oncologist from another hospital, who was willing to fight till the end, started a last ditch long shot treatment with zero guarantee. There was a turning point and all of a sudden a remarkable recovery externally. Yesterday, I heard the good news that this person was declared disease free by oncology as of yesterday!
