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 introduction of Silencio Black cigars followed about a year after the classic Silencio Red Dot. A striking design element, the red dot in the letter 'O', will be familiar to many cigar aficionados. In the USA, this red dot adorns the 'O' in the Cohiba logo. However, due to trademark restrictions, these cigars cannot be sold under the original name in Europe. The brand has therefore been renamed Silencio for the European market. In Europe, Cuban brands such as Havana, Vuelta Abajo, Cohiba and Montecristo can only be used for products that are actually made in Cuba. The Scandinavian parent company Tobacco Group (STG) and its distributor General Cigars were convinced of the success of the blend in the United States and saw the potential for the European market. Silencio Red Dot cigars hit the market in the summer of 2021, followed by the Maduro variant shown here, Silencio Black, around a year later.
Product Detail
Silencio Black cigars offer a multi-faceted taste experience with notes of earth, coffee, leather, pepper and dark chocolate. A broad leaf from the United States is used as the wrapper leaf. These include Piloto Dominican tobaccos and a strong blend of Dominican, Mexican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.
