Quai d’Orsay Superiores RE OGA MAY11 (JBWP3RW)

[cigaraholic]

This is a beautiful looking cigar with a baby’s butt smooth colorado wrapper. There’s a nice spicy aroma from the foot, the draw is open so I will sip puff this cigar. It’s decently filled at 10.4 gr.

Opening puffs I’m tasting orange peel, graham cracker, marshmallow and spice that tastes like cardamom, perfect start. If I was having a mocha instead of just coffee with cream I’d be transported to Smoresville. Then the graham cracker and marshmallow fades away leaving toasted orange peel and rich cardamom spice. Fortunately I experience the return of the marshmallow, bringing back a nice sweet creamy flavor. Then the orange peel fades away leaving me with a spicy marshmallow till the end. I was surprised the cigar lasted 80 minutes, usually a robusto is a 1 hr smoke for me, but I was sip puffing. A nice mid morning smoke, but a cigar that’s first few puffs are the best is always a little disappointing. I had one a few days ago that didn’t start as good but kept the orange citrus flavor throughout, I enjoy it more. The open draw and slight under-filling took it from a 96 to 90.
