Quai D'Orsay Corona 2016 (PQDRW)

[Lucass111]

 

This is my last one from the box. Very glad I picked up a box of 2018. Not sure if the blend was tweaked or not but either way I'm sure they will be similar. The weather is finally nice enough to sit outside so the experience is already up a few notches. Ok, enough rambling I'll get to it. The construction of this particular stick is a bit off. The wrapper seems to be a bit loose. I decided to use a punch cut. It's been my go to lately. The cold draw was tight. Nothing that was to terrible, just not to my liking. The cold draw was filled with hints of cedar.

 

The first third was again filled with that wood/cedar hints. It was very mild. I did get very subtle hints of sweetness but nothing that made my tongue dance around. The first third was very straightforward without much changes.

 

The second third was more of the same. I did catch a bit of white pepper. Not much has really changed from the first third.

 

The last third it seemed like things became quite bland. Not my typical experience with these. I did get some nutty flavor but other than that quite bland.

 

Overall this was a nice smoke. It was not very complex. A lot of the same flavor throughout. I have had many better experiences with the qdo coronas. I would give this one an 85 out of 100.

Nice review! My 2014 and 2016 QdO Coronas have actually been smoking really well, shame yours wasn't that good.
