Quai d’Orsay N° 50
Robusto (N° 50)
The cigar presents a beautifully amber-hued colorado wrapper, supple to the touch and flawlessly packed. The cold draw reveals an earthy, woody bouquet with a hint of gentle spice.
Tasting after lighting:
The initial puffs deliver an easy embrace of abundant smoke, rich with aromas of precious wood and roasted hazelnuts. The strength is moderate and well-balanced, inviting slow, thoughtful enjoyment.
Midway through, the cigar grows in presence; nutty nuances deepen while whispers of dark coffee enrich the palate, maintaining an elegant intensity without overwhelming. The experience remains poised, though slightly lacking in breadth and roundness.
The final third unfolds with subtle evolution — no grand surprises, but a well-constructed finish that remains pleasant and aromatic, closing the journey on a gentle yet satisfying note.
Conclusion from the enthusiast:
This robusto stands confidently above the average, offering an honorable aromatic profile that, while not the most complex, is a steady companion for those seeking classic Cuban character with refined simplicity.
