The Quai D’Orsay 50 cigar embodies French elegance: originally crafted for the French market by Quai D’Orsay in 1973 at the behest of SEITA, it was initially designed to accompany champagne and foie gras. In its recent 2017 release, this "Petit Robusto" format (4 ⅜″ × 50) is distinguished by a smooth "colorado" wrapper and offers a light to medium profile. From the first draw, notes of vanilla and citrus are evident, followed by the blossoming aromas of cedar, gentle spices, and a delicate hint of nuts mid-smoke. The finish is subtle yet persistent, blending a touch of caramel with a white pepper retro-hale, all within a consistently even and well-controlled burn. True to its origins, this cigar can be enjoyed on any occasion, whether in the morning with coffee or in the afternoon for a refined moment.
