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
Japan's first gin distillery is located in the southern part of Kyoto City, Japan. Their gin is made from rice alcohol and selected Japanese botanicals. The name Kinobi means "beauty of the season", so it has nothing to do with the similarly pronounced Obi-Wan Kenobi. What makes this gin special is the complex manufacturing process, which only a handful of distilleries in the world undertake. The starting ingredients are the flavors, which are divided into three groups. Base notes: juniper, violet root and flatwoods. Citrus: grapefruit and lemon and tea as the third group. Each group is individually steeped in rice wine and then distilled. After blending the distillates together, the master distiller mixes the newly received batch with the previous week's batch to maintain the flavor consistency and balance of the craft gin. After a few days of storage, half of the product is bottled in 70cl bottles while the other half waits to be blended with the latest batch soon.
Product Detail
Ki No Bi Sei is created using the same 11 botanicals, distilled in the same 6 aromatic categories, as the classic Ki No Bi. However, it is bottled at 54.5°. This powerful version is undoubtedly part of the Ki No Bi family, but with a more intense twist than the classic. It makes an ideal cocktail base, especially for gin & tonics. The name 'Sei' comes from the Kanji character '勢', which means 'power' in Japanese.
