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
Premium tequilas and mezcals that you don't "down" as a shot or as a cocktail ingredient, but rather taste in peace like an old scotch, are on the rise. Arturo Lomeli can tell you a thing or two about that. In 1997, he began marketing his rather cheaply produced tequila in a stereotypical bottle with a sombrero and moustache. He soon found himself back at school - the subject was "luxury marketing". In 2007, the Clase Azul Ultra was launched on the market for US$ 1,200 and was very well received. Since then, the company has specialized in the high-end market segment for tequila and mezcal. These carefully painted ceramic bottles, reminiscent of oversized pepper mills, are a real eye-catcher. Apart from a golden ornament, each bottle bears the signature of the master distiller and the indigenous artist (from the Mazahua people) who designed it.
Product Detail
White ceramic bottle, hand-painted in cobalt blue; a true symbol of Mexican culture that can be reused (vase, lamp for the more DIYers, etc.). The Reposado Tequila is aged for 8 months in new whiskey barrels, which gives it more patina and roundness than the Plata. The bottom of the glass smells good orange. In the spirit of an amontillado.
