Quai D’Orsay No.52 Cigar – Box of 10

The Quai D’Orsay No.52 Cigar debuted on 20 October 2022 at Paris’ Hôtel de La Marine, near the historic Avenue Quai D’Orsay that inspired the brand’s name. Produced by Habanos, S.A., this Robusto-format cigar measures 156 mm in length with a 52-ring gauge. Designed for a light to medium-bodied experience, its balanced flavor profile caters to both experienced smokers and newcomers.

Construction and Smoking Characteristics

The Quai D’Orsay No.52 features a well-crafted wrapper that ensures consistent combustion and draw. The slow-burning design provides approximately 75 minutes of smoking time. Its ash formation and smoke output reflect meticulous rolling techniques typical of Cuban cigar craftsmanship.

Flavor Development

Initial notes of cream and natural tobacco transition through distinct phases:

• Woody undertones with subtle spice accents
• Roasted coffee bean and cocoa powder mid-section
• Leather nuances in the final third

A faint peppery sensation contrasts the dominant smoothness without overpowering the palate.

Presentation and Availability

Sold in boxes of 10, the Quai D’Orsay No.52 maintains the brand’s Parisian-inspired aesthetic. The launch event’s location at Place de la Concorde underscores its connection to French-Cuban tobacco heritage. This vitola expands the brand’s portfolio as Habanos, S.A.’s first 2022 release in the Robusto category.
