Quai d’Orsay N° 52
Grand robusto (Lanzas)
The cigar features a colorado wrapper, sometimes quite wrinkled but soft to the touch. The cold draw reveals aromas of wood and old drawers, with a good draw.
Tasting after lighting:
The first third opens with light spices and wood notes, supported by excellent construction and smooth, creamy smoke. A hint of mocha emerges toward the end of this phase.
In the second third, precious wood and increasingly peppery spices dominate the profile. The strength builds gradually, and the cigar warms slightly.
The final third grows in body, delivering a spicy character with an astringent and piquant finish.
Conclusion from the enthusiast:
The latest addition to the regular Quai d’Orsay catalog is a choice piece, though the final third is less indulgent than the earlier stages. Its rating remains unchanged.
