Quai d’Orsay: New Look, Two New Vitolas, Exclusivo Francia 2016 Shipping

2017 promises to be a great year for Quai d’Orsay, the only brand of Cuban cigars created at the request of a country other than Cuba.

Quai d’Orsay Secreto Cubano

The brand finally launches its Edición Regional Francia 2016, the Quai d’Orsay Secreto Cubano, in a Petit Corona shape (110 mm X cepo 40). 10 000 boxes of 10 cigars (at a price of 7,90 € per cigar or 79 € per box of ten) will be released this spring only in France.

“This cigar offers more or less a thirty minutes smoke. I think this will all at once satisfy the connoisseurs of the Quai d’Orsay and those who do not know the brand yet, for they can discover it easily thanks to this small shape,” says Antoine Bathie, director of the cigar division for Seita, Imperial Tobacco’s French branch who imports Quai d’Orsay.

New Brand Design

The brand inaugurates a new ring design, with a golden ring in relief printing. The revamped cigar will be on the program of the Festival del Habano, where Quai d’Orsay will be honoured: “I am proud to lead a conference on the most French of Cuban brands, on March 1st”, reveals Antoine Bathie.
