Quai d'Orsay Corona ULA ABR 14 (JBWP3RW)

[Wailbait]

I have loved these cigars.  In fact I find this particular era of Quai (2013-2015) to be incredibly consistent which is a huge bonus when it comes to Cuban cigars.  My only questionable box was one from 2015 with dark wrappers.  (Quai should never have dark wrappers in my opinion)

This is just a pretty cigar.  I love the size and feel.  I wish there were more Coronas but I don’t want to be the old man that yells at a cloud.  
 

Draw on this one is slightly tighter than I love but not so bad that I want to monkey with it.  Flavors are all spot on.  Some baking notes, some gingerbread.  This particular example is in great shape and burns well.  

The combination of the excellent conversation and the tighter draw allowed me to savor it for a long time.  I even had a second drink!  This is a great medium bodied cigar and I wish I had 5 more boxes of them when they were relatively affordable.

I remember filling up a shopping cart of 15 boxes from a certain supplier when they were $140 a box, but stupidly that seemed like a lot of money at the time, and I hesitated and held off. 

Still have about 5 boxes, but that just not enough.

Ugh.  I don’t recall 140 but I did get a few at a bit more.  Those were the days.

I think I paid $130 for my last box of 2015s. Those were that days.
