Quai D Orsay Superiores

[mf83]

Had a afternoon to myself or so I thought! I bought this from a "dealer of repute" a couple of months ago and have been doing to try one ever since I saw Rob review them. That was actually the first FOH review I'd seen so the cigar had a special meaning to me. I'll try and add photos but as I'm doing this from my mobile it may not work!

The construction of this is wonderful with what I believe to be just the right firmness to it, I clip it and the draw is perfect for me. The cold aroma is good quality tobacco with a hint of baking spice.

The opening millimetres start off well, thick smoke which I like but it's a light body. Not too much in terms of flavour but I think it has started well.

First third:glorious! The burn is perfect. Lashings of caramel with a hint of nuts on the back of the mouth, not peanuts me like a dry kind, walnuts perhaps? This is a super smooth cigar with class.

Second third: the caramel has died down and so has the nuts. It is still smooth and burning well.

Final third : the nuts have come back with a vengeance! Almost like a Punch in terms of nuts now. The smoothness lasts till the end and I've got some toasty fingertips :-).

In closing I'd say this has been the best cigar I've had, ever. Now I'll quantify that statement by saying I've not had every single Habanos but I've had some of the so called big cigars and this one stands up there. A real pleasure

95/100.

Thanks for the review, good job. I will have to revisit as I've only tried one from my box... was trying to be patient. lol

Awesome review! Had one a few months ago and it was superb. Glad to have half a box left!

Great review. Had a single months ago. Absolutely amazing cigar. Of all the PCC cigars I've had this one is my favorite. Three more left to smoke, can't decide to smoke or let them keep resting.
