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 story of Plasencia cigars began in 1865, when Don Eduardo Plasencia planted tobacco seeds in Cuba's famous Vuelta Abajo. By the 1920s, the Plasencia family tobacco company was supplying tobacco to customers all over the world. Then, in the 1960s, Fidel Castro's regime took control of the Plasencia family's operation, forcing them to flee first to Mexico, then to Nicaragua. By the end of the 1960s, the tobacco grown by the Plasencia family was once again flourishing in Nicaragua. However, during the Nicaraguan revolution of 1978, all the Plasencia family farms were burnt down. The family fled to neighboring Honduras and were forced to replant tobacco once again. Then, in the 1990s, the Plasencia family returned to Nicaragua, enabling the family to expand in both countries. These combined holdings have made Plasencia the world's largest tobacco producer, supplying tobacco to dozens of the industry's leading cigar manufacturers. Finally, in 2017, the first Plasencia-branded cigar saw the light of day, launching a series of products that have won praise from industry insiders and everyday cigar smokers alike.
Product Detail
Alma del Fuego is made from pure Nicaraguan tobacco. The filler consists of tobacco grown on the Nicaraguan inland island of Ometepe. The blend is wrapped in a Sungrown wrapper sourced from family farms in the Jalapa Valley. This wrapper gives the cigar its complexity and unique character. The aromatic profile of Alma del Fuego de Plasencia is somewhat creamy-spicy and delicately bitter, slightly sweet, subtly salty. In retronasal, beautiful roasted aromas of wood and coffee. This sampler contains the three formats in the Alma del Fuego line: Candente, Conseption and Flama. The perfect gift for discovering Nicaragua's famous terroir!
