Quai D’Orsay Coronas MUR MAR12 (XNYRW4)

More fruitcake in the oven, at least I have some cool that I can enjoy with this cigar. I used to smoke the hell out of QdO but since they’ve become gold plated they’re more of a treat. This cigar has a darker than normal graham cracker wrapper, smooth and oily, nicely filled at 9.6g. This cigar is unbelievably fragrant, like sandalwood incense. The cold draw is buttery deep toasted tobacco with just the right amount of resistance.

Opening puffs are extremely floral, with cedar and middle eastern spices, it’s like I’m smoking incense... in a good way! Flavors are very exotic, I don’t believe graham cracker is going to make an appearance. Body is a little over medium. A little further in a buttery marshmallow cream richness sweetens the cigar. Another QdO lip licker! I was going to have coffee with this cigar but I don’t want to change the flavors, thought about water, but it’s the holidays so I went with champagne. 2/3 just gets richer, like middle eastern pumpkin pie. Body goes up to medium full with a spiced baked apple flavor and a cotton candy finish. In the last 3rd I need a little fruitcake, this is no mild mid morning cigar. Unfortunately it’s the last cigar from this box. Hopefully my 2014 boxes smoke this well🙏
