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
The history of Martell dates back to the 18th century, when its founder, Jean Martell, left his native Jersey to try his luck in France. Specialising in the brandy trade, the entrepreneur settled in Cognac. Through contact with the region's winegrowers, he learned about the specific characteristics of the terroir and the secrets of the production process for the famous eau-de-vie. This solid experience acquired over the years has built the heritage of Martell, a family house renowned for its authentic cognacs of exceptional roundness. With its strong local roots, Martell quickly developed an international outlook. In 1783, it became the first cognac house to export its products to the United States. In all, nine generations have succeeded one another at the head of the company, all driven by the same quest: excellence and innovation.
Product Detail
For this exceptional cognac, Christophe Valtaud, the ninth-generation cellar master, blends up to 450 (!) very old eaux-de-vie at least 14 years old. But that's not all: the eaux-de-vie come from the region's most prestigious production areas: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies and Fins Bois. With so much exclusivity, it's not surprising that a particularly elegant bottle design has been chosen for Chanteloup XXO. The cognac is named after Château de Chanteloup, which was acquired by Theodore Martell in 1838 and served as the family home for many decades. The estate, which now serves as an exclusive guest house, visitor centre and maturing cellar, is still regarded today as the spiritual home of the House of Martell.
