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
“We are willing to go anywhere to find the exceptional tobacco we are looking for.”
This motto is followed by CAO cigar makers. They have traveled all over the world to source some of the finest and rarest tobacco leaves known to mankind.
They have visited the jungles of the Amazon, the mountains of Colombia, the valleys of the Dominican Republic, and the volcanoes of Nicaragua. And almost every point on the map in between.
And throughout all their travels, they discovered something. When limitations, obstacles, and impracticality are removed from the process, what remains is a tobacco-smoking experience unlike any other.
Product Detail
A dark, almost mottled Connecticut wrapper leaf adorns the CAO Session. A unique treatment after fermentation produces a deep, dark color and gives the wrapper a powerful flavor.
The well-balanced blend ultimately results in a rather mild and very enjoyable cigar. A cigar for any occasion.
In terms of flavor, sweet cherry aromas stand out, which is quite unusual. You’ll also find notes of coffee, wood, and chocolate.
Overall, an incredibly surprising range of flavors and an extremely interesting blend!
