Ever since I fell in love with the Domus Magnus last year I’ve been on this journey tasting all things under the Quesada umbrella. One of the newer releases is the Q D’etat Series. The first of what is to be three releases is the Quesada Q D’etat Molotov. An interesting shaped Dominican puro perfecto where the ring gauge is listed in three sizes 38/58/44. If you watched our 16 Minutes with Terence Reilly interview you will know that the Q D’etat Series was created as a protest against increased restrictions on cigar smoking and higher tobacco taxes. The next scheduled release is the Howitzer and not much is known yet about the third one yet.

Off camera Terence told me that the Molotov was like smoking three cigars. At first I didn’t really get what he was saying. I thought he was blowing some marketing smoke at me but after smoking the three I picked up at his event and then getting more afterwards, I totally understand what he was describing. Its quite an interesting smoke to see how the Molotov evolves and how the three ring gauges come into play. I liked the Quesada Q D’etat Molotov. I had to babysit the burn which was a bit annoying but expected considering its unique perfecto shape. I also had to slow down my normal smoking pace which was hard to do. The Molotov can’t be rushed. The predominate earthy, sweet woodsy and shifting palate sensations were enjoyable and right up my alley. For me though, it was hard for me to remember to slow down so the Molotov wasn’t really my speed but can definitely see several of you out there (@waltw) really enjoying it.

Contest ends one week from the published date.
The Red Sox. I’m sure you knew I wouldn’t say the Orioles (lol). Just kidding brother. Enjoy opening day, I know I will.
Nice! Gotta love Quesadas! Being a SoCal native I gotta leave it with the halo! Angels!! Thanks, TGT
sounds like a nice stick. everytime kentucky wins a hoops title that same year the yankees win a title. iam goin with new york
What’s baseball?
Definitely sounds like it’s worth a shot. As much as I hate to pick a division rival, I may have to go with the Angels, as well.
Yankees all the way!!!!
For the 2nd straight year I’m predicting the Detroit Tigers. They just missed out last year. With that pitching staff & that lineup, they’re gonna do some damage.
Mets, eh who am I kidding.
The bambino curse will be lifted once again… Go Red Sox!
The Red Sox, obviously! Or failing that, the Royals. LOL!
They’ve been disappointing me more and more the last couple of years, but I’m still gonna say the Phillies.
great review jerry! make me spend more $$$ why don’t ya! lol. not a sports fan but good luck to the best of the best teams!
SF Giants, even though I want the yanks to win it all
Can there be any doubt about the Phillies……..what a silly question. Still enjoy the reviews….do you think the Man of War Puros are dyed?
Hey guys. Can’t say I’m a baseball fan but here’s my prediction… there will be a surprise and the underdog team will win! Cheers.
THE ANGELS! And I have to agree with ya on the Domus Magnus pick. What a great stick! I just got a box the other day, and man is it hard to not have one every day! Trying to make these last a little longer than the last box! Oh, did I mention that the LA ANGELS will win the World Series? Yes, yes I did mention that the ANGELS are going to win the World Series!!!! 😉
The Mud Hens, where’s my cigars ?
nice review jerry, gotta get some of these!! go YANKS!!!
Awesome review Jerry and thanks for the info on dealing with tar…
Cleveland Indians all the way!
And now for some comic relief the PITTSBURGH PIRATES are taking home the gold!!!!! Thanks for the contest, been wanting to try a Quesada.
To go against all logic and wisdom, let’s go with Brewers…
This is the only chance I’ll have in this lifetime to win something by picking the Orioles to win it all. Only because we don’t need to be right to win this one…
Deep in the heart of Texas. Lets go Rangers.
I’m a Tigers fan, so gotta go with Detroit.
Originally from Boston. Let’s go Sox.
Cardinals of course. Started the season right last night with a win!!
Nice review Jerry, will have to give these a try.
Though I am , always have , and always will be a Yankee fan..( sorry Jerry )…I really believe it is the year of the Tigers…
Redsox.
I’ll go with the Brewers, just because I want to see my boy, Jonathan Lucroy, get a ring… Ragin Cajun for LIFE!
Detroit will take it this year!
Thats easy. The Yamkees, of course
The St. Louis Cardinals WILL repeat. End of story.
The Atlanta Braves!
On the 20th anniversary of their first, once again the World Series Banner will fly north of the border…Joey Bats and the boys will shock the A.L. East and ride that momentum all the way to the World Series Championship!
The Yankees got it on lock this season, baby! Everyone knows that whatever they’re missing by the half way mark, they’ll either buy or trade for. Hmmm, maybe by then Jon Lester will be available? lol
Love Quesadas! Go Angels!! Go !! Thanks, TGT
I think the Red Sox are going all the way this year. Love the Domus Magnus. Syill haven’t tried the Molotov.
Love the review. And, the contest. Go Cardinals! Who needs Pujols?! A two-pete!
Not a phillies fan, but I’ll guess they take it all. Always a contending team. No repeat for the Pujol-less cards, and Angels look good but not good enough!
I’d like to say my Cards will repeat, but I just don’t see that happening. Maybe it’s the Rangers’ year.
Thanks for the contest. Let’s go Yanks!
Cincinnati Reds! Smoking my first Davidoff right now and it’s a Special R. Wow! I’m more of a medium/medium full guy but this is badass! Thanks.
Da Cubs Da cubs! Great review
The Mets! This is their year. Thanks for the review.
The Cincinnati Reds baby!!
Molotov, an explosion of flavors, u say…..Got to try to find one in my area. Great Review Jerry….Y didnt u guys take Soriano off our hands??? The billy goat curse is o’va this year…GO Cubs
Go tigers!
Braves to the house
BoSox have it all the way!!!!
Think the Braves are gonna do it!! Maybe Chipper will stay healthy for his last season.
NEW YOR YANKEES!!!
york
Go CUBS Go!! This could be the year!!
Interesting sounding cigar. Bronx Bombers.
AZ Diamondbacks….. We are bringing back the Kirk Gibson Fist Pump. Do it with me…….
Not a big baseball fan, will watch some of the world series. Thanks for the chance to win some cigars.
Diamondback baseball is the best!
Dodgers, Magic will lead the way
Fuck the Yankee’s. One day my poor Mariners will triumph over them…
But what the hell, on the 1000/1 odds of it actually happening I’m going to say this is the Mariners year to win the world series at last!
If you lived in Texas; therefore, The Texas Ranger’s. THRID TIME IS THE CHARMS………I’ll be smoked this Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro as a goodwill on The Good Friday….. The Torpedo Man….
My home town team the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Yankees Win!!! The Yankees Win!! Pettite wins the Cy Young!!
Goat curse and all, Cubs win!, Cubs win!
“it’s an interesting shit.. shape” great review as always Jerry
and go Giants!
Rangers. It’ll happen.
Whichever junior college beat the Orioles…they’ll win the World Series!
Angels…now that would be a coup d’etat.
interesting cigar, i want some now
Ive been looking forward to these for a while; after hearing a few people complain I found the burn issue to be universal. I love the Domus Optimus and the Espana Corona so I can see this also joining the crew of favorites.
Colorado Rockies! Just watch out for flying pigs…
Tigers all the way. I have a good feeling about this season.
Nice review as always. I’m predicting the Braves will win this year…….lol.
I’d like to see the Montreal Expos go all the way this year.
Since I am from San Diego I will have to stick with the Padres.
dont follow baseball, but would love to try this smoke!
The winner chosen at random is…
cigarphil
Thanks everyone for leaving a comment. Appreciate it!
I liked the molotov, though not as much as the oktoberfest (which was in contention with the domus magnus for my cigar of the year). My angels will hopefully take it this year.
wolfeman
The Angels will be smokin once they get it going !
