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
Rocky Patel cigars have built a solid reputation in the United States and are now reaching Europe. Of Indian origin and lawyer in California, Rocky Patel was not predestined for the cigar factory. It was her personal passion that led her to produce a cigar in Honduras. Thus, in 1998, he created the “Rocky Patel” brand and his cigar manufacturing company: the Indian Tabac Company.
He set up an ultra-modern factory in El Paraiso, near Danli, Honduras. This project took shape in collaboration with Nestor Plasencia, a Cuban who successfully emigrated to Nicaragua and who was beginning to develop his activities on the other side of the border. Nestor Plasencia would provide the best possible stewardship in terms of sourcing high quality tobacco, installation, aging and experienced rolling labor.
In 2002, the name of the company became “Rocky Patel Premium Cigar Inc” to further affirm the role played by its owner. In 2007, 18 million “Rocky Patel” cigars were sold.

True to tradition, this cigar features a luxurious Mexican San Andrés wrapper, complemented by two wrappers, one Honduran and the other Nicaraguan, which guarantee a complex and harmonious tasting experience. Each leaf of the all-Nicaraguan tripe is meticulously selected on our own farms. Made from tobaccos aged since 2014, this blend embodies the essence of refinement and sophistication. Treat your senses to the rich, decadent flavors of coffee, espresso and dark chocolate, balanced by hints of cinnamon.
