Quai d'Orsay No. 50 (Single Cigar)

Wrapped in a silky claro wrapper that glows with golden warmth, the Quai d'Orsay No. 50 is a cigar that whispers sophistication with every draw. Born of Havana craftsmanship and Parisian flair, it delivers a refined, medium-bodied experience laced with honeyed wood, toasted almond, and a citrus-kissed creaminess.

The Quai d’Orsay No. 50 is a cigar born from diplomacy, culture, and a quiet French desire to reinterpret the Cuban cigar through its own lens of elegance. Its story begins in the early 1970s, when the French government—specifically its state-owned tobacco company, SEITA—approached Cuba with a unique request: to create a cigar tailored exclusively for the French palate. Unlike the bold, earthy Cubans that dominated the era, France wanted something gentler, creamier, more refined—a cigar that captured the softness of French desserts and the lightness of Parisian afternoons.

In 1973, Cuba agreed, and the blend was developed under the guidance of the master blenders of Habanos S.A., using leaves grown in the iconic Vuelta Abajo region. The brand was named “Quai d’Orsay,” after both the famous riverside boulevard in Paris and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs located there—fitting for a cigar designed as a diplomatic gesture.

The line officially launched in 1974, debuting first in France before slowly making its way into international markets. While the brand was initially niche, it developed a cult following among smokers who valued elegance over intensity and creamy sweetness over raw power. The No. 50 became its flagship vitola—a short, luxurious smoke that embodied the brand’s unique Franco-Cuban personality.

For decades, Quai d’Orsay quietly existed as a hidden gem, beloved by those who appreciated its subtle honeyed profile and balanced construction. Then, in 2017, Habanos revitalized the brand with a redesigned band, premium presentation, and global reintroduction—transforming the once understated French commission into an internationally celebrated cigar.

Today, the Quai d’Orsay No. 50 is regarded as one of Cuba’s most elegant offerings—a cigar with a past rooted in diplomacy, crafted for refinement, and cherished for its unmistakable blend of Cuban craftsmanship and French finesse.

This is not merely a cigar—it is a passport to quiet luxury, a celebration of diplomacy, delicacy, and timeless Cuban soul wrapped in a golden band.
