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
Since 1969, Macanudo cigars have been handcrafted by General Cigar and are one of the best-selling premium brands in America. It all started with the original Dominican Macanudo Café line, which took the industry by storm with its unrivaled refinement, creamy, smooth consistency and aromas, and was relatively quickly complemented by the Maduro line. The evolution of Macanudo cigars continues to this day and is reflected in a wide portfolio of different lines, a multitude of different cigar formats, blends and potency profiles. With the establishment of state-of-the-art factories and plantations in Nicaragua and Honduras, blends like Inspirado Orange and Inspirado Black bring bolder, richer creations to the brand's portfolio. No matter which style you choose, expect a premium cigar that is handcrafted, matured to perfection, incomparably smooth and beautifully blended and rolled, in accordance with Macanudo's strict quality control standards.
Product Detail
The Macanudo Inspirado Green Robusto cigar is dominated from the start by notes of cocoa, coffee bean, earth, red pepper and white pepper. The aroma of the coffee bean, however, remains in the foreground, while the also perceptible licorice notes and other aromas are somewhat relegated to the background and a little cedar wood appears. This is also evident at the start of the second third, where the citrus notes take a bit of a lead over the other notes. The pepper develops a slightly spicy effect and slowly gains intensity during this phase. While some earthy notes are still present in this part, the cocoa and licorice notes evaporate. In the final third, the coffee bean notes remain in the foreground. The pepper notes are more in the background, while the citrus and earth notes are more in the background and a slight creamy sensation appears at the end.
