Quai d’Orsay (Cuba) Gran Corona

This version had a decent amount of age on it, and I enjoyed it more than any other Quai D'Orsay before it. It didn't have the overwhelming floral profile that many of their cigars have, more of a medium bodied cigar with slightly sweet undertones. A good straight burn and a decent draw, I would smoke more from this brand if the other vitolas or more recent production tasted more like these.

I gotta say, when these are on they are out of this world. I enjoy a good ball buster cigar like the next guy, but there're times when a bit less kick is just what the doctor ordered. When that time comes I whip one of these beauties out. Always well rolled and with a delightful and unique orange cast to the wrapper, these deliver the goods in the mild Cuban category.

not a powerhouse, but not the mild cigar i was expecting. plenty of complex flavoring and a great burn and draw.
