Quai d’Orsay No. 50

The Quai d’Orsay No. 50 opens with a refined mild-to-medium-bodied profile, delivering an immediate blend of sweet cedar, creamy nougat, and light toast accented by a delicate honeyed note. The retrohale adds elegance with soft white pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of citrus zest, lending brightness without disrupting the cigar’s smooth character. As it transitions into the second third, flavors of vanilla bean, roasted almond, and buttery brioche emerge, supported by a gentle floral undertone that enhances the overall balance. The final third develops richer notes of light coffee, toasted oak, and a touch of cocoa powder, finishing with a mellow, lingering creaminess.
