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.

The Davidoff Chefs Edition 2025
The Chefs Edition 2025 toro cigar incorporates select tobaccos from Davidoff's iconic White Band Collection, mirroring the chefs' signature lightness and finesse in its taste experience.
To achieve a complex blend with tasting notes inspired by the chefs' respective cuisines, Davidoff's Master Blenders meticulously experimented with a variety of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Ecuador. Amongst others, they chose a Dominican San Vicente tobacco that was aged for 15 years, a Dominican hybrid tobacco for fresh lemon notes and a Dominican Piloto tobacco that they had aged in Yagua bales.
The result is a true masterpiece that fills time beautifully for 60 to 80 minutes.
Yagua-Aged Tobaccos
The Dominican Piloto seco filler tobacco undergoes an artisanal Yagua ageing process of five years.
This traditional method involves carefully wrapping the tobacco in natural Yagua palm leaves, a palm tree native to Central and South America. The fibrous leaves allow for a more refined ageing that enhances the cigar’s smoothness, sweetness and complexity.
Every bale requires meticulous hand-wrapping and close monitoring.
The Chefs Edition 2025 is the only Davidoff cigar featuring Yagua-aged tobacco to date.
The smoking experience begins with stimulating, spicy notes of pepper and cedarwood. The intensity then softens, giving way to a complex creaminess, characterized by alternating notes of cocoa, leather, and roasted nuts.
Sauvignon Blanc, a green-skinned grape variety from Bordeaux, is celebrated for its bright citrus and tropical fruit notes. When paired with the Chefs Edition, the harmony is undeniable – the cigar’s floral, rosewood, and fresh spice accents complement the wine’s crisp profile beautifully. Furthermore, the wine’s lighter body ensures a balanced experience, never overshadowing the cigar.
THE CURATED SIP
The warm spice of a Virgin Moscow Mule – vibrant ginger, sweet cinnamon honey, and bright citrus – intertwines beautifully with the cigar’s complexity. Floral and creamy notes bloom on the palate, accented by hints of cayenne and coffee. The Mule’s zesty lime and aromatic orange bitters cut through earthy oak and leather tones, while the smooth honeyed sweetness softens the smoke’s intensity.
A perfect balance of spice, warmth, and refreshing contrast.
