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
1840 would be the first known date of the Punch brand, registered by a German named Stockmann. Manuel Lopez Fernandez became the owner in 1884 and took the cigar up the first steps of the modern era. From 1898 to 1922, thanks to Manuel's inventive and energetic management, the brand reached its peak. In 1930, Punch became part of the Fernandez Palacio Group. Along with Belinda, La Esception and Hoyo de Monterrey, Punch was manufactured in the Rayo Street factory until the advent of the revolution.
Product Detail
Habanos S.A. presents Punch Princesas, a new Limited Edition created to commemorate the 185th anniversary of the Punch brand.
Punch celebrates this milestone with the launch of Punch Princesas Edición Limitada 2025, introducing a new vitola that revives a popular format from the 1960s.
Punch Princesas, presented in the Edmundo format (52 x 135 mm), offers a balanced blend of medium-strength tobaccos. It is housed in a classic 1960s-style box, carefully reinterpreted for today’s discerning connoisseurs.
Each Habano is entirely handmade with long filler, aged for a minimum of two years, and crafted using wrapper, binder, and filler leaves meticulously selected from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region in the Cuban province of Pinar del Río.
This release celebrates the 185-year legacy of Punch, one of Cuba’s oldest Habano brands, and marks the beginning of a new “royal” chapter in its history. First introduced in 1840 and originally developed for the British market, Punch has preserved its distinctive character throughout its evolution from its early association with the iconic Punch & Judy emblem to its status as one of the world’s most prestigious Habano brands.
The Limited Edition 2025 is presented in an exclusive 20-count box, specially designed to honor Punch’s 185th anniversary and pay a well-deserved tribute to its enduring heritage.
