Quai D'Orsay

The Quai D’Orsay Baalbeck – Regional Edition Lebanon – is named after the ancient Baalbeck temple complex in Lebanon and is an expression of one of the most popular lines in the Habanos offer, Quai D’Orsay. The Duke size cigar features tobacco aged for three years, in boxes of 50 for the first time. The initial idea was to produce 60,000 sticks, but with demand expected to be high, the quantity was increased to 120,000 sticks or 2,400 boxes.

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.

In 2017 the brand received a make-over and two new modern sizes were introduced (No. 50 & No. 54) to join the one remaining surviving vitola (Coronas Claro). 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 Habanos Regional Edition.

The No.52 is a new vitola within the standard Habanos portfolio and like its two counterparts, is named after the ring gauge it boasts. It is perhaps closest in size to the Montecristo Double Edmundo, sharing its length but with a two-point wider girth.

Classified as light bodied, this is a delicate, well- balanced and thoroughly modern Habanos.
