Detailed Description

Brand Story 

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.

Brand Story

Since 1888, the Brugal family has mastered the craft of producing one of the best quality rums in the world according to an old family recipe. Only the Maestros Roneros, all members of the family, know the formula. They are also the ones who constantly refine the original recipe and spice it up with modern influences. This interplay is what gives Brugal Rum its authentic Caribbean taste. Today, Jassil Villanueva continues the legacy as the first female Maestra Ronera in the Brugal family. All of Brugal's ingredients come from the Dominican Republic. The selection process is strict: only the best quality sugar cane, yeast and water are used for production. Brugal is one of the few rums whose production, maturation and bottling take place exclusively in the Dominican Republic, true to the motto "Authentically Caribbean". This enables careful control throughout the entire process.

Product Detail

Brugal 1888 rum is a rum with a unique taste, the result of double distillation and skillfully mastered double aging. The first stage of aging of this rum was carried out in American white oak barrels previously burned and having previously contained Bourbon. During this 8-year rest, the Brugal 1888 rum patiently reached its beautiful maturity. The second step consists of aging the rum in new oak barrels, this time Spanish, for 6 years and having contained Olorosso sherry. These two aging methods complement and balance each other perfectly.
