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
Founded in 1891 by Francisco Fonseca, the brand was manufactured in a small factory on rue Dragones in Havana. It was sung by the poet Federico Garcia Lorca: ‘I'll go to Santiago with the blond head of a Fonseca...’. Francisco Fonseca was responsible for wrapping the cigar in a thin sheet of Japanese paper. He also had the idea of creating a tasting room in his factory to test the blends chosen by his customers. Fonseca also specialised in making cigars for banquets, receptions, clubs, etc.
Product Detail
The Cosacos by Fonseca are cigars that are both kind-spirited, affordable, and full of life much like the people of Cuba themselves. Their aromas are remarkably direct and genuine. The rolling is excellent and the strength is rather moderate. An ideal cigar for beginners!
