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 Year of the Ox Limited Edition
Celebrates the Chinese Year of the Ox 2021 with an impressive presentation and a masterful display of craftsmanship. Strictly limited to just 13,500 boxes worldwide, each containing ten cigars, this special edition has become an extremely rare and highly sought-after collector’s item among aficionados across the globe.
Enjoyment & Details This Limited Edition is wrapped in a beautifully shiny, oily, and dark brown Dominican wrapper — cultivating such a wrapper in the Dominican Republic is known to be particularly demanding and requires the utmost skill. The binder from Ecuador is grown from a seed originating from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. A blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos completes the versatile “recipe” of the magnificent Year of the Ox cigar.
Davidoff Year of the Ox Limited Edition 2021 in Gordo format
While the four different Dominican tobacco types provide pleasant woody and nutty notes of cedarwood, honey, and hazelnut, the distinctly flavorful Nicaraguan portion adds spiciness and character to the bouquet. Complex aromas of leather, fresh herbs, and roasted coffee unfold with delightful intensity on the palate. A subtly bitter-sweet undertone with nuances of dark chocolate and cream adds extra depth to the Gordo smoking experience. This captivating flavor profile combines full-bodied strength with aromatic finesse in outstanding Davidoff quality. The long-lasting, spicy-sweet finish of a cognac mirrors the complexity and depth of the cigar and makes for an ideal pairing.
Davidoff Year of the Ox pairing recommendation
The elegant box of ten cigars is unmistakably Asian in design — featuring signature red lacquer, gold accents, and a refined, minimalist symbol representing the ox. The bottom of the Year of the Ox box is elegantly curved upward, symbolizing the shape of an ox horn, the animal’s defining feature. All boxes contain an insert with the story of the Year of the Ox.
