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
As an R&D researcher for 47 years, it's natural for Rod to look for a solution to any problem or frustration he encounters. And having a solid background in science and mechanical engineering is no stranger to this approach. Rod's journey into creating innovative cigar accessories began with a few frustrations that simply drove him mad! One of his favourite cigars, the Cuban Montecristo No. 2, has a tapered end. When he smokes a tapered cigar, Rod doesn't like to cut the tip too much. But he has consistently struggled with the extreme narrowness of the draw with this particular cigar. Preferring a slightly lighter draw resistance, Rod found that he often encountered cigars with firmer draws than he preferred. After an exhaustive search for an effective draw tool, Rod found nothing! Nothing on the market seemed to work. This led him to create what later became known as the PerfecDraw, not only his best-known accessory, but also a whole range of high-quality accessories.
Product Detail
Voted "Best accessory 2018" by readers of the famous "Cigar Journal". Have you ever been annoyed by cigars that don't puff? Forget the myth that cigars from a certain country must have a certain draw strength. We've tested this ourselves on dozens of cigars. No matter the format or the country. On the one hand, PerfecDraw creates a fine air channel, cuts the tobacco that interferes with the draw and eliminates it. This is thanks to its sophisticated design and sharp point. Unlike toothpicks or other tools, PerfecDraw removes only a little of the 'excess' tobacco that interferes with the draw and usually ends up in the cigar's furnace. Invented by a dentist who loves cigars and knows all about fine, sharp scalpels. Precision-machined with 304 stainless steel surgical blades.
