Quai d'Orsay is a brand designed specifically for the French market. Created in the 1970s, it takes its name from the famous quays along the Seine in Paris. All its vitolas, which are designed to be light, are made from a combination of leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region and dressed in Claro (wax) or Colorado Claro (light brown) capes. All are Totalmento a Mano, Trip Larga (entirely handmade, long filler).
Product Detail
The Quai d'Orsay Corona was available in two versions, Coronas Claro and Coronas Claro Claro. The name behind ‘Coronas’ refers to the colour of the packaging, which in the first case means Colorado Claro (chestnut brown) and in the second case ‘Clarissimo’, which means almost green. However, the second version has disappeared over time. The Quai d'Orsay Corona Claro pampers smokers with pleasant cocoa flavours, combined with woody notes and earthy tones. It is exceptionally mild for a Cuban cigar, making it ideal for beginners.

Description
Brand Story
Since the Middle Ages, monks have combined the virtues of plants and brandy to preserve the sap of medicinal roots. Even today, Armagnac brandy continues to delight. Domaine de Rébert, located in the heart of Bas Armagnac Noir, produces only a few thousand bottles a year. The grapes of the Baco, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties are harvested in October, fully ripened, pressed and vinified. From November onwards, shortly after fermentation, the wine is distilled without any stabilizers in copper stills that have belonged to the family since the 19th century. The 56% of the resulting vat is stored in new oak barrels for at least 12 months. It is from this moment that Armagnac takes on the golden color of precious woods and gives off aromas of toasted, aniseed, spicy and dried fruits, what we call the "rancio" of Armagnac. In this way it is aged for several years in an atmosphere with 70% humidity.
Product Detail
This Armagnac brandy is the result of a rigorous selection of aromatic and intense waters of life, characterized by elegance, refinement and intense aromas.
