Quai d Orsay No. 52 Cigar - 1 Single
by Matthew
I was recommended this stick as a lover of mild Cubans. I have tried the 50 a couple of times but found it a little bland. This on the other hand was a real delight with buttery smooth cream, toasted nut and plenty of aromatics. There was a surprising amount of evolution over the 75 minutes it lasted and it paired beautifully with a reserve Gewurtztraminer I had recently picked up in France.

I got a double sampler pack, and I must say, have enjoyed all the sizes. Draw and flavours are consistent, with a lovely creamy taste. The shorter sizes last a good 40-45 minutes, with the larger ones over an hour. Worth getting some of these.

Firstly, this was a tight draw, and would have benefitted from a tool to open it up a little - I had to press with my teeth to open it up a little - that was disappointing. However, once it flowed a little better, the taste was sweet and enjoyable for the first two thirds. I found the last third a little too strong, but that sense was accentuated by the effort needed to huff a little to hard t draw on it. Worth a revisit, but not without a draw tool.

Very flavorful cigar, start very smooth the first quarter then it get more complex which I like, however my cigar was not well constructed it has a whole almost in the middle all the way through, so I have to light it several times.

A compact but satisfying smoke, this small cigar delivers a robust, full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of leather, rich Italian espresso, and cedar wood. Initial flavors carry a subtle undertone of chili spice, adding a gentle acidity that enlivens the palate without overpowering. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into rounded, earthy woodland notes, balancing intensity with a refined complexity. The narrow ring gauge results in a slightly warm burn, but construction is commendable, with an ash chimney that holds firm well past the halfway mark. An enjoyable post-lunch cigar, offering an impressive depth for its size. Rating: 6/10. Smoke time: 40 minutes
