QUAI D’ORSAY

Quai d’Orsay was established in 1974 for the French market.

The brand takes its name from the avenue in Paris beside the river Seine that used to be home to the headquarters of SEITA, the then state-owned tobacco importer for France who with Cubatabaco (now Habanos s.a.), joined forces to produce an elegant Cuban brand with a certain je ne sais quoi.

The brand was unveiled in Paris consisting of 5 vitolas: Imperiales, Gran Corona, Corona Claro, Corona Claro Claro and Panetelas. In the late 1970s, the brand was offered to other selected international markets but remained relatively unknown in the UK where only one size, the Coronas Claro was available for a long period of time.

This changed in 2017 when Quai d’Orsay was relaunched at the Habanos Festival in Havana, Cuba sporting a new stylish modern brand identity that retained the spirit and essence of the original branding. Two new sizes were also showcased, the No.50 and No.54, which joined the Coronas Claro, the lone survivor of the original vitola lineup.

Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength with Quai d’Orsay selected by Habanos s.a. to join the Habanos Limited Edition family in 2019 (Senadores) and by numerous Habanos Distributors around the world to represent their market as a Regional Edition.

NO. 54 – #11 Best Cigar of 2018 – Cigar Aficionado

An entirely new size within the Habanos SA portfolio. It is very similar to the Montecristo Edmundo but a fraction wider. A light bodied, easy-going and thoroughly modern Havana that is packed full of Gallic charm.
