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
La Paz cigars were first manufactured in 1880 in Holland at the factory of Theodorus Antonius Josephus Houtman. Known as a purveyor to the court, Theodorus’ factory made cigars for King William III. The company would change hands many times, remaining a popular manufacturer of corona style cigars. These cigars were aesthetically rough, looking like a homemade hand rolled cigarillo, something akin to a cowboys cigar. An open end with tobacco tapering outward makes the cigar light with no resistance. The looseness of the cigar also allows for an easy draw that provides a plentiful amount of smoke and as a result means these cigars are never a chore to smoke.
Product Detail
The medium-strength La Paz Wilde Cigarillos Brazil have a slightly sweet and spicy taste at the same time and harmonize perfectly with each other. Thanks to the tuft of tobacco at the end of the fire, the aromas can fully develop when lit. There is a certain spiciness towards the end, but it never becomes too sharp. The upturned cover sheet, as the name suggests, comes from Brazil. The tobaccos were harvested in Brazil, Indonesia and the Caribbean.
