Quai d’Orsay No 54 12DCRC

[Boxer31]

Beverage  - Genlivet 12 & Dalwhinnie 15 (local pub was out of my regular Oban 14, not really scotch/bourbon bar but good pours and prices you can’t beat, also Guinness always avail)

Aroma - cocoa, some leather

Cold draw - very muted choc/sweetness

1st- light choc biscuit cookie, hay

2nd - flavors much the same but burn started to get off

3rd - had to re-light twice, taste stayed pleasant until end when sharp bitter

90+ minutes

Have a box resting since the summer, hopefully they will be better.  This was starting out really smooth and great with the scotch but then having to re-light kind of hurt it.

I felt the same about this particular stick.  I was pleasantly surprised by the 50 though - try that one out if you havent already.

Love the 50s, looking forward to trying the 54 from the sampler!

Fox is a great place for a smoke.  One of my favorite cigar bars in the city for sure. Interesting about your son - lots of people from back east moving out here.  I myself spent a few years in Charlottesville for grad school at Darden.  Love that part of the country.
