Quai d' Orsay No. 52

The Quai d'Orsay Especial d'Orsay 50 Años is an elegant anniversary cigar for connoisseurs who appreciate fine Cuban aromas, stylish presentation and an exceptional special format. To mark the brand’s 50th anniversary, this special edition combines the characteristic lightness of Quai d’Orsay with a larger size, greater presence and a very harmonious development. Despite its larger ring gauge, it remains true to the brand’s signature style: refined, balanced and never overbearing. This makes it an excellent choice for aficionados who wish to enjoy a limited-edition Habano with sophistication, charm and classic elegance.

Anniversary format with French flair

This special edition was launched to mark the brand’s 50th anniversary and stands out visually from the regular formats. The cigar features an additional anniversary band and is presented in specially designed boxes that reflect the brand’s French roots. The Sobresalientes format lends it a commanding appearance and ensures a smooth, generous smoke. It is precisely this combination of exclusive presentation, limited edition status and elegant brand identity that makes it a very special addition to discerning humidors.

Delicate flavours with creaminess and subtle sweetness

In terms of flavour, the cigar is typical of Quai d’Orsay: light, finely nuanced and very well-balanced. Creamy notes, cedar and vanilla take centre stage, accompanied by a subtle sweetness that gives the smoke a pleasantly rounded character. Despite its size, it remains stylistically focused on finesse and does not develop into excessive strength. Rather, it thrives on its harmonious interplay of gentle spice, a soft texture and an elegant, light aroma. It is precisely this balance that makes it particularly attractive to lovers of refined, milder Habanos.

For special moments of enjoyment with a limited-edition appeal

The Quai d'Orsay Especial d'Orsay 50 Años is ideal for quiet moments of indulgence when a stylish, somewhat more exclusive cigar is called for. It offers a generous smoke volume, a balanced length and an aroma that remains relaxed yet intriguing. It therefore appeals to both experienced aficionados and connoisseurs who appreciate the elegant side of Cuban cigars. Anyone looking for an anniversary edition with high-quality craftsmanship, special presentation and classic Quai d’Orsay finesse will find this an exceptionally good choice.
