Quai d’Orsay Senadores Edicion Limitada 2019

The 2019 Quai d'Orsay Senadores Edición Limitada is a Gran Corona-sized cigar, boasting a 48 ring gauge and a length of 6.18 inches, with a medium body. The cigar's dark, oil-rich wrapper has a rugged, rustic look and is topped with a triple cap, giving it a smooth yet firm texture. As it is lit, the cigar unfurls a multifaceted flavor profile, initially presenting notes of sweetness akin to brown sugar, alongside black pepper and subtle floral hints. As it progresses, the flavors mature into a rich tapestry of toast, earthy undertones, cinnamon, leathery notes, hay, peanuts, and the deep flavors of cocoa nibs, complemented by anise and a hint of barnyard character, all while retaining a touch of floral subtlety. The cigar's draw is notably sharp, producing a thick, copious smoke that burns evenly with minimal need for adjustment. Throughout the smoking experience, the strength gradually builds from mild to medium, offering a satisfying 90-minute smoke.
