The inspiration for this review is Dutch aficionado Coenraad's review of the new Quai d'Oray No. 50.
This cigar has been in my humidor for a number of years but I don't remember how many exactly.

A lot of sophisticated flavors in this first inch. Seems like every draw is different.

Speaking of draw, it's a bit tight and I wouldn't mind getting some more smoke either.

The second half of this corona is not as interesting as the first. The draw gets ever tighter too. Maybe I should do a purge.
