Quai d'Orsay Especial d'Orsay Gift Box

With the Quai d’Orsay Especial d’Orsay Gift Box, you can add an exclusive anniversary cigar to your humidor – elegantly presented and ideal as a gift (or, let’s be honest: for your own enjoyment). This edition was launched to mark the 50th anniversary of the Quai d’Orsay brand and combines the brand’s typically refined, accessible style with a particularly prestigious presentation. The Gift Box contains five Habanos, each featuring a special commemorative band – a beautiful collector’s item and a talking point for any lounge.

Exclusive anniversary format with character

The Especial d’Orsay comes in the ‘Sobresalientes’ format: a generous ring gauge with a pleasant length – perfect if you are looking for a cigar that is not overwhelming, yet still offers plenty of flavour. The smoking profile is often described as light to mild, yet noticeably complex and balanced. It is precisely this balance that makes it so appealing: soft on the palate, elegant as it develops, and with enough depth to delight even seasoned aficionados.

A treat for special moments

Whether as a stylish gift, a highlight for an evening with friends, or a rare anniversary treat in your own collection: this gift box is tailor-made for ‘special occasions without a reason’. The meticulous presentation emphasises its premium character, whilst the cigar itself impresses with classic Cuban craftsmanship. Thanks to its relatively mild strength profile, it is also ideal as an aperitif cigar – or as a relaxed accompaniment to a mild rum, a tawny port or an aromatic coffee.

Why Quai d’Orsay delights fans

Quai d’Orsay stands for a smooth, refined style – more delicate than heavy, more nuanced than loud. That is exactly what you experience here: a well-rounded smoke that allows room for subtle notes and remains pleasantly harmonious throughout. Anyone looking for an elegant Cuban cigar that combines mildness and sophistication will find this edition a very safe choice.
