Growing too fast.
What a beautiful, picturesque morning with temperatures in the mid 70’s and a nice, cool breeze blowing. It actually felt good walking in the sun for a change. I’ve had a Quai D’Orsay sitting in the humi for a little while now and have heard they’re great morning smokes, so decided to give it a try.
After fixing a cup of fresh brewed coffee (cream and sugar), I headed out under the walnut tree. The corona had a golden honey wrapper that was fairly coarse with a patchwork of veins throughout. There was some oiliness to it, and I could see the fine “hairs” glistening in the bright sunlight. It had a good weight in the hand and mostly spongy when squeezed with a couple of firm spots. Nothing that felt it could be plugged though.
With the cap punched, pre-draw was just a little on the tight side, but not by much. I put fire to the foot and immediately got a deliciously smooth smoke in the first draw. Rich earth with a delicate woodiness and hints of raw honey. From other reviews I’ve read, this smoke was to be somewhat mild. However, I found it to be a solid medium strength, which was perfect for me. I detected a small amount of spice on the back of the throat that was spot on. Raw honey with earth continued in the smooth and creamy smoke with hints of vanilla. I found it to have a slightly short finish, but delicious nonetheless.
The draw ended up being absolutely perfect with just the right amount of resistance. It had a perfect burn with a dark gray ash that dropped about every ¼ inch. I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar and now need to find more (this was my first and only one of these). I’d have to say this was definitely good for a morning smoke with coffee, however I would enjoy this any time of the day!
So bare with me, I’m playing with yet another photo editing program…
