Video review HERE.
(from the Quesada website)
The Quesada 40th Anniversary is intended to capture the very essence of our company: the synthesis of tradition and innovation. Originality does not spring from thin air but rather is the result of reinterpreting and building upon what has been accomplished. Consequently, it is only by embracing the past and using our knowledge of tobacco that has been handed down through generations that we will be able to create innovative blends and sizes. The Quesada 40th is the best expression of this goal to date. Quesada 40th combines secos, visos and ligeros of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers with a Dominican binder. The beautiful, dark wrapper is cultivated in the San Andres Valley in Mexico. The cigar comes in 2 distinct lines; a core line with three popular vitolas and a limited line with a Toro Box Pressed and a revolutionary new size, the Salomon Press.

The cigar is extremely well made and had a light oily wrapper. Even though this cigar has a San Andreas wrapper it is not called "maduro". It may be a natural wrapper. The cigar is dense feeling in the hand. The foot has a partially closed end as you can see in this photo.
The test draw after cutting the cap was very good. The initial flavors at light up were sweet cedar and cocoa with light cream, dry wood, and black pepper rated at a 7. The cigar comes across right away as medium bodied.
