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.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: It starts with a complex blend of fruit aromas, including nectarine, ripe melon, green apple and apricot. A solid base of still-pot spices gives off aromas of ginger and pepper, which are complemented by dried flowers and hints of aged cereals. The oak continues, adding vanilla flavours, honeycomb sweetness and coffee bean notes.
Palate: Initially full of juicy fruit flavours with a characteristic creaminess and herbal quality reminiscent of chamomile tea. Potted spices intermingle, adding depth. Over time, the influence of charred oak develops, creating further complexity.
Finish: The still fruit and spice build to a crescendo before disappearing, leaving the finish to oak tannins and old grain whisky.
