Quai d’Orsay No 54 MSU AGO 18 (PQRDW)

[leafdream54]

This is the first time I’ve tried this cigar.  (I’ve previousely tried a single No 50 and several of the older band coronas).  It came from a box of 10 and has been resting in my humi for about 2 months.  For me - this was a subtle flavored cigar at this point, so bear with me as I try to describe some of the flavors.

Initial draw: good draw with a hint of sweetness and a hint of cinnamon

First third: light bodied with subtle hints of hay and cinnamon.

 

Second third: hay, hint of sweetness showing up along with nuances of a praline dusted with cinnamon and cumin.  Wonderful aroma.

 

Last third: delicious subtle flavors all coming together wonderfully.  Transitioning to light bodied +.  The last of the last third showing some youthful edges.

 

Conclusion: This is a very young cigar.  The flavors at this points were subtle and nuanced all the way through, but the flavors that were there were delicious.  I predict that this will be a wonderful cigar with some more age.

Good job, and I agree - they're young but quite good, should age really well, although I don't think it has legs for very long term ageing.
