Quai D’Orsay Coronas Claro

Quai D’Orsay Coronas Claro – The Original Parisian Corona

The Quai D’Orsay Coronas Claro is the purest expression of the marca’s founding character. Quai D’Orsay was created in 1973 for the French market, its name borrowed from the elegant Quai d’Orsay embankment in Paris and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs beside it. Rolled in the classic Coronas vitola at 142 mm (5 9/16″) with a slim 42 ring gauge, this is a fully handmade Havana built entirely from Vuelta Abajo long filler tobacco.

Light in body and understated in style, the Coronas Claro was designed to suit French palates that preferred a gentler Havana over the bolder marcas of its era. It remains the ideal introduction to the brand: a smooth, cedar led corona perfect for a relaxed thirty minute smoke.
