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
From its creation in 1884 until the early 1960s, La Flor de Cano seems to have remained a small family business. La Flor de Cano is a brand that dates back to before the Cuban revolution, registered by brothers Tomás and José Cano. It took more than 50 years for the brand to be entered in the register of exporting manufacturers, in 1940, under the name ‘Juan Cano Sainz’. Production does not appear to have increased significantly, and has instead dwindled over the years, with only two cigars available today. Previously, the brand's catalogue offered no fewer than 10 different cigars, all of which have now sadly disappeared. La Flor de Cano cigars have always had a reputation for being smooth and refreshing, with floral and herbal aromas.
Product Detail
The production name was created especially for this vitola, "Lirios". It is a format very close to the classic robusto. The fully handmade short tripe tobacco blend is medium-bodied and offers the well-known balance between aroma and taste. After lighting, wood, earth, leather and roasted aromas caress the palate, which is supported by a floral sweetness and nuts.
