This has to be one of my favourite go to smokes, strong and smooth without being overly aromatic. It has a lovely kick when you feel like one.

I found this really quite pleasant and easy to smoke. It's reasonably strong but not too much, it's not overly aromatic either which I wouldn't be a fan of.

Not that great really. The first third was very bitter, almost to the point of being unpleasant. The second third was noticeably better, becoming smoother and developing coffee and spicy flavours. The final third was a bit much as the bitterness returned along with an almost tarry flavour. In fairness this is a cheap cigar, and it was very well constructed, burning well too.

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.

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.
