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
Growing wild on the steep, unstable slopes of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango are agave varieties native to the region and in high demand by the local mezcaleros. These agave varieties produce exotic, intense aromas with rich, earthy tones and spicy, smoky flavors. We use artisanal methods to create a true mezcal style. Following a 200-year tradition, agave hearts are cooked in a pit oven and crushed with a wooden mallet. Crushed with a wooden mallet. Fermented in the open air without the addition of artificial barrels, it also ferments without the addition of artificial yeast sugar. Our mezcaleros are then distilled exclusively in clay pots, following the "ancestral" tradition of producing our mezcal.
Product Detail
Chino Verde is an extremely rare wild agave from the Sierra Madre del Sur. This agave can grow very large and is usually harvested when it is seven to nine years old. The concentration of sugar in fully matured agave produces an extremely rich mezcal.
