Quai d’Orsay No.50

This cigar presents with a slightly irregular shape and a yielding, porous cap. The smoking experience is characterized by a satisfactory draw that reveals a complex array of flavors, including the warmth of exotic spices reminiscent of the Middle East, the richness of mixed nuts, and a subtle pungency of black pepper. As the smoke lingers, it unfolds into a sweet denouement, evoking the comforting aromas of caramel and gingerbread. The flavor profile is multifaceted, featuring prominent notes of ginger and cedar, complemented by the deep, nutty taste of hazelnut and the creamy sweetness of toffee. Additional nuances include the richness of brioche, a medley of spices, and a hint of butter, all of which are subtly intertwined with the delicate flavors of shortbread and the earthy undertones of wood and oak. As the cigar continues to smoke, a diverse range of secondary flavors emerges, including the smoothness of tobacco, a touch of citrus, and the warmth of toast, all of which are balanced by the creamy richness of cream. Other subtle notes include the supple smoothness of leather, the depth of earth, and a lingering pepperiness. Further complexities include hints of Perrier, herbal undertones, and a range of sweet and savory flavors, such as molasses, sourdough, coffee, and a variety of baked goods, including biscuit and the caramelized sweetness of Cracker Jacks. The finish is characterized by a subtle blend of flavors, including the richness of licorice, the depth of graphite, and the effervescence of champagne, alongside the luxuriousness of cocoa, the smoothness of glycerine, and the creamy sweetness of vanilla. Other lingering notes include the earthy taste of hay, the warmth of cinnamon, and the richness of nut, honey, and milk chocolate, all of which contribute to a satisfying and complex smoking experience.
