The Quai d'Orsay No.50 is a cigar with a most distinguished pedigree and a particularly Gallic charm. Originally blended in the 1970s at the behest of the French market, the line was meant to capture a softer, subtler Cuban experience—one that would sit gracefully alongside a café crème at a pavement table in Montparnasse or a slow afternoon along the Seine. And yet, it has found favour far beyond Parisian boulevards.
The No.50 is a petit robusto—shorter in stature, yes, but broad of girth, allowing for a pleasingly cool draw and an even burn. Clad in a delicate claro wrapper, the appearance is elegant, with a fine sheen and a golden hue that almost glows in the light. From the first draw, you’re met with creamy, toasted flavours—think almond croissants, warm hay, and the gentle zest of citrus peel. As it progresses, it reveals a touch of honey and perhaps a whisper of white pepper, all in that refined, easy-going Cuban style.
This particular presentation—in a polished wooden gift box of two cigars—adds a further note of sophistication. It’s ideal for those seeking a gracious gift or simply for the aficionado who appreciates ritual and refinement in his humidor. Whether you’re lighting one to mark a small victory or as a reward for making it through a rather thankless Tuesday, the Quai d'Orsay No.50 offers civility in smoke.
