The Quai d’Orsay No. 50 comes from a brand created in the 1970s for the French market, developed to offer a lighter Cuban profile that paired well with fine spirits. Rolled with tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, this modern D No. 5 vitola presents a balanced and refined character. The smoke opens with cedar and cream before moving into toasted bread, light coffee, and soft honey sweetness. Notes of nuts and gentle citrus appear through the middle while a touch of spice develops toward the finish. The draw remains smooth with a clean, steady burn. It pairs naturally with espresso, Cognac, or a light rum.

Quai d'Orsay:

Quai d’Orsay was created in 1973 as a cigar brand developed specifically for the French market. The project was a collaboration between Cubatabaco and the French tobacco distributor SEITA, with the aim of producing a Havana cigar that suited French tastes. The name comes from the famous avenue along the River Seine in Paris.
