Description

The Quai D’Orsay No.50 Double Cigar gift box presents two exemplary Cuban puros from Havana’s Vuelta Abajo terroir, each meticulously handcrafted to precisely 4⅜ inches in length with a 50 ring gauge in the celebrated D No.5 petit robusto vitola. These diplomatic masterpieces feature lustrous Corojo ’99 wrappers seamlessly joined to aged Cuban binder and selected long-filler tobaccos, embodying Franco-Spanish refinement since 1973. Ignition unveils creamy cedar cathedrals and fresh brioche pastry, gracefully unfolding into jasmine florals, candied lemon zest, toasted hazelnut praliné, and delicate anise veil. Midway reveals nuanced layers of vanilla custard, almond croissant, English Breakfast tea leaf, and quartz minerality, while retrohale delivers silken tobacco mist laced with pink peppercorn elegance. The captivating 40-minute finale crescendos with marzipan softness, chamomile nobility, and lingering golden raisin resonance, sustained by flawless silk-thread draw, platinum-grey marbled ash exceeding 1½ inches, and metronomic thermal progression. Conceived for gentlemen’s soirées or contemplative afternoons, their light-to-medium equilibrium rewards sophisticated palates seeking harmony over bravado. Maintain at exactly 70% RH and 21°C within airtight Spanish cedar humidor. Pair exquisitely with Sauternes, VSOP Armagnac, or Darjeeling first flush to exalt their celestial refinement—a timeless Quai D’Orsay triumph honouring Franco-Cuban cigar artistry.
