Quai d'Orsay Superiores 2011 - Edición Regional Asia Pacifico

[Bartolomeo]

Quai has become a favorite in past 6 months for me

Predraw was plain

Wrapper is fuzzy, little fingers of carboard projections it looks like

Initial puff is light, sweet wood, white pepper

Simple, Young tobacco taste, nothing too complex in first third

Very smooth in 2/3, continuing w sweet buttery flavor w continued pepper

Ash is sort of flakey

Mild-Medium profile throughout

Finished w/ lots of flavor but also some youth

Overall I enjoyed it but think they need some time

Bart, I was just thinking about these the other day.

Do you think these are worth investing in a box of? I mean, they're pricier than CoRo's even, but I wouldn't mind paying that at all if I knew they had the potential to outshine.

Thanks for the review Bart!

I think these have legs for the future but I also think there are better RE/LE boxes to buy now such as RA Extra LE or PL Regalias RE......both significantly cheaper than these

I am a big fan of Quai and was glad to get to try these, if I was rich I would buy a box but again there are other regular production and RE/LE I would buy before

Just my .02

Thanks Bart, appreciate it.

I'll stay with the status quo then - additional boxes of RA Extra 2011, a box of PL Encantos, and then maybe a box of these added on as the budget will allow.

Tried my first from the Superiores/Sabrosos sampler today and your review is spot on. An enjoyable but youthful cigar. Could be great in a couple of years.

I had a few sticks of these recently and feel they have great potential. I can almost taste those honey sweet notes in a year or two!

Nice review Bart. I have a box in the locker, probably better they stay for the time being. Don't have any room for them anyway LOL

I'm excited to see how they will develop with a good 5 years plus on them. Funny same goes for the PL Encantos pacific release. Big hopes for both down the road.
