QUAI D ORSAY PREMIUM CIGARS
The Quai D Orsay cigars have a tendency to be milder and lighter in color than the typical Cuban cigar. There was a fifth size in the past called the "Corona Claro Claro" which had an extraordinarily light wrapper, but unpopularity drove it into retirement.
A little side note: The Quai D Orsay is one of two brands (the other is Siboney) which are dedicated to the interests of a specific national tobacco governing body, in this case, the national tobacco monopoly of France, the SEITA (La Societe Nationale d'Exploitation Industriel de Tabac et Allumettes).
The Quai D Orsay is exported to other countries as well.
Here some facts & figures about this new release:
Country: Cuba

Quai D Orsay IMPERIALE
Cigar Aficionado has given the Imperiale 89 POINTS.
This churchill is 7" long and a has a ring of 47.
The Imperiale, by Quai D Orsay is a good-looking Churchill whose firm draw brings charred wood, leather and caramel tastes before a spicy finish. Give it a little time because it start slow, but turns complex after a little while.
Body: Full
Quai D Orsay CORONA CLARO
The Corona Claro receives a point less than the Imperiale. 88 POINTS for the Claro. The dimensions are as followed: 5 1/2" x 42.
The Corona Claro cigar dresses in a plush, oily wrapper and has a flat cap. There are definitely similarities between the Claro and the Imperiale, since both types start slow, but develop balanced flavors of cedar and leather. The long finish hits of with pepper and earth.
Body: Medium to Full
Quai D Orsay PANETELA
Again 88 POINTS from Cigar Aficionado!!! 7" long and a ring of 33.
A rustic panetela with a veiny wrapper. It burns consistently, with a chocolaty tang, followed by a warms to show meaty and pepper notes. The end has a hint of leather.
Body: Medium
Quai D Orsay GRAN CORONA
The judges have decided: 86 POINTS for the Gran Corona.
The even flammability of this cigar leaves a nice ash and burns up with a wealthy aroma. The tastes are mostly woody, and the cigar ends with a nutty finish.
