Quai d'Orsay No. 50 SMA Jul 2018

I've only just recently secured a second 10-count box of this, with quite amazingly, the same box code. So, at a year old I knew I had no qualms about trying one from this new box since the other two from the other box (of the same SMA Jul 2018 code) were so good.

How was this? Simply put, every bit as good as the others I've tried, and with a little more rest, even better. El Pres likes to say that these new Quai d'Orsay No.50 and No.54 releases have an element of brioche to them, which is a French bread high in egg and butter content and is more rich and tender than normal bread. I can confirm that the gingerbread and toffee notes one gets in these is of that rich and tender bread quality. Again, as in my previous QdO No.50's, the last third was more cedar, hazelnut and 'toasty'.

One note of issue that attested to quality seco leaf that has been used in these new QdO releases arose in the first third when I had a runner along the wrapper develop. It seemed that a potential 'mouse-hole' burn was about to occur, and a small ridge or hole was evident under the wrapper, but this wasn't due to bunched leaves, rather it seemed to me that the ridge was there due to a stem pulled prior to rolling. As a result of this, the anamoly in the wrapper burn soon corrected itself and there was no affect on the taste of the cigar.

Petite Edmundo ARG Jul 15. 3 yrs really did a number on this box. The first one had a disgusting soapy taste to it, I had to pitch it. This one was very tasty!

 

Rd 2. Monte 4 MUL Abr 15 delicious!

Second one from a box acquired on24:24 about a year ago. The first one wouldn’t burn, this one burned much better although not great. I’ll try one next year

This sucks. This sucks because I only have a six pack of these. Slight firm draw. Mouthfuls of smoke on one draw. Beautiful albeit rustic wrapper. Salty Cuban flavors. SP Non-Plus, even the name sucks. This is a ROTT smoke, moist and young. First one. Damn.

I 100% completely empathise with your dilemma as I share the same problem! I'm down to 5 sticks myself.

2006 Siglo 2 from @Trevor2118  thank you so much! Butter, cream, coffee and toasted tobacco notes. These still have legs for another 5 or so years I reckon!

I can confirm that Robs tip off for SMO FEB 18 was golden.  I would highly recommend hunting some of these down.

Struggled with this SMA Abr 18 Choix until it was clear it was a lost cause. Bricked it and grabbed this RA from @Markspring1978 and bounced back hard. This stick was excellent to the nub!

Good morning! This is the first stick that I have dry boxed. I am really enjoying the difference that it makes.

Yesterday’s TOS 17 PLMC compliments of @crking3. I don’t know why I don’t have more of these but I certainly know why @JohnS loves them so much. Great cigars.


Coffee and a cigar this morning. TPO JUL 17

First cigar from a 50 cab - PUR AGO 16. I always smoke the bent ones from under the ribbon first! 

Man, will be fun burning through this box over the years to come!
