Quesada Q D'Etat cigars are high-end Dominican puros released as a symbol of the resistance of cigar smokers against unfair taxation practices toward the tobacco industry. They are very limited and available in 3 sizes, all figurados. Being puros, all three components—wrapper, filler, and binder, are ultra-rich tobacco from the Dominican Republic.

The construction is very clean and precise and the draw is excellent. The flavor is indubitably Dominican. Starting off with a rich, leathery flavor on the opening draw, the cigar develops into a simple array of caramel, cedar, and faint coffee tastes. There are hints of spice and wood and the finish is very clean and semi-sweet, with just a touch of pepper on the tongue.

These cigars are easy to smoke and full-bodied. They are complex and well-balanced and great for any intermediate to well-seasoned connoisseur. Bourbon is a must-have with this cigar, as the flavors compliment each other wonderfully. Comparable cigars include Arturo Fuente Hemingway and Montecristo White. Quesada Q D'Etat is a unique cigar with a strong symbolic meaning behind it.
