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
To create the CAO Session, master blender and brand ambassador Rick Rodriguez took inspiration from the many cigars he had enjoyed so far in his garage and shop. This blend comes from Rodriguez's collaboration with his good friend and colleague Yuri Guillen and is available in toro or robusto. Soul tobaccos give Session its powerful taste, while a unique post-fermentation of the wrapper deepens Session's taste and darkens its color. But make no mistake, Session is medium bodied and very easy to smoke, perfect for any occasion.
Product Detail
Despite its young age, the CAO Pilón Toro, 5 x 52, is considered an old school cigar. CAO Session Garage Robusto cigars are different from the cigars you are used to from this brand. On the one hand, this cigar comes from the Dominican Republic, on the other hand, the CAO Session Garage Robusto is a full-bodied experience with an exceptionally dark and aromatic Connecticut cover leaf. The complex aromas are reminiscent of black cherries, chocolate, cinnamon, earth and nuts.
