CUBAN CIGARS

The Quai D'Orsay cigar brand was created in 1973 mainly to appeal to the growing French market. The French market was more open to the milder taste with a lighter wrapper hence why the Quai D'Orsay introduced there Corona cigars with a lighter shaded Claro Claro wrapper. As this fashion died out in the late 1980's so did the Corona Claro Claro, it was replaced by the Corona Claro; a 5 5/8" cigar with a 42 ring gauge (143 x 16.67 mm). All Quai D'Orsay sizes are hand rolled in Cuba with a light tasting blend of leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region.
