Quai d’Orsay MSU DIC 18 (NTYRW)

This is actually the 2nd from this box, 1st one I smoked b/c i had been dryboxing one and another BOTL randomly came to my work and I gave it to him about 2 weeks ago. So I then put another to dry box and here we r ....

1st third twang And more sour twang. Draw perfect. Just pinched off some of the cap and was a dream. This is actually my new favorite thing to do. Just pinch a little of the cap with my fingers have been smoking the house down with this approach. Burn spot on And maybe just under medium but ok. 

2nd third cream and nuts random sweetness pretty rich smoke and burn still spot on and draw perfect. 

final third becomes very creamy and rich toasted tobacco. Pepper kicks in not Partagas pepper but it’s there. No leather or wood at all in this cigar for me. About 1/2 way into the last third it’s youth comes out and gets pretty harsh. Definitely over medium the whole last third but was ok at first. Now it’s just harsh and time to put it out. 

Overall burn almost perfect. Draw was good maybe slightly loose. Size was good and the flavors were solid. Nice cigar but I prefer the 50. 
I would rate 88 with some age maybe getting it a 90-92

Cheers
