Quai d'Orsay Special Releases

Quai d’Orsay is a Cuban premium cigar brand of French origin. It was developed in 1973 specifically for the French market and named after a well-known riverside street in Paris. Its mild flavor is characteristic and clearly stands out from many stronger Habanos. Typical aromas include creamy notes, cedarwood, a slight sweetness, as well as subtle spice. The cigars are entirely handmade (long filler) using tobaccos from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba. Quai d’Orsay is considered an elegant, approachable Habano and is recommended for both beginners and aficionados of milder cigars.

The cigars in the Sobresalientes format measure 153 mm and have a ring gauge of 53. They are entirely handmade (totalmente a mano) and consist of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba. The boxes are designed in warm gold and striking orange and feature an illustration of Quai d’Orsay on the banks of the Seine on the inside lid. Each regular box contains 20 cigars; special gift packs with five cigars are also available.
