Cubatabaco relaunches its Quai d'Orsay brand with a completely new design and introduces two new formats. The design of the brand has been completely revised for the relaunch, with appealing and beautifully crafted larger cigar rings and decorations on tobacco boxes. The "Quai d'taire" is now available in 25 unpolished wooden boxes containing 10 or 25 cigars. It has the full flavour, character and intensity of the best Cuban tobaccos.
Quai d'Orsay is a relatively new brand in the Habanos portfolio. Cubatabaco brought it out in 1973 especially for the French market. SEITA, the old French tobacco monopoly, served as a model.
The name of the brand alludes to the famous boulevard on the banks of the Seine in Paris, where the company was based at the time.
For more than four decades, the brand remained a little-known jewel in the Habanos collection.
The global launch is designed to enable cigar lovers worldwide to discover and appreciate this unique brand of French charm and finesse.
It also has the full flavour, character and intensity of the best Cuban tobaccos.
2019 marked the beginning of a new era for the "Quai d'Orsay" brand. This was achieved with the relaunch of a completely new design and the introduction of two new formats that are marketed worldwide in Habanos S.A.'s key markets.
The Quai d'Orsay No.50 (production name "D No.5") with a length of 110 mm and a ring gauge of 50, typical of Robusto, and the Quai d'Orsay No.54 (production name "Edmundo Grueso"), a completely new format with a length of 135 mm and a massive ring gauge of 54, were presented for the first time at the XIX Festival del Haban
Both are available in unpolished wooden boxes of 10 and 25 respectively.
The Quai d'Orsay Coronas Claro (production name "Coronas") with an average ring gauge of 42 and a length of 142 mm is the brand's third vitola in the traditional Corona shape.
This cigar is still available in a box of 25 unpolished cigars.
The design of the brand was completely revised for the relaunch. It is now presented with appealing and beautifully crafted larger cigar rings and decorations ("habilitaciones") on tobacco boxes.
High quality printing processes, multiple gold inks, embossing and patterns were used.
Since then, the name of the format has been printed on the cigar ring.
The two new shapes feature a moderate and elegant blend of black Cuban tobacco that has distinguished the brand since its inception.
All three forms of the "Quai d'Orsay" brand are rolled as long fillers according to the centuries-old Cuban production method - totalmente a mano.
The tobaccos used all come from the world-famous Vuelta Abajo region in western Cuba.
