Quai D’Orsay Imperiales

Quai D’Orsay Imperiales – The Marca’s Grand Julieta No. 2

The Quai D’Orsay Imperiales is the grand format of a Cuban marca created in 1973 for the French market, its name borrowed from the elegant Quai d’Orsay in Paris. Rolled in the stately Julieta No. 2 double corona vitola at 178 mm (7″) with a generous 47 ring gauge, it is fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler from the Vuelta Abajo.

Where the rest of the range favours short, brisk formats, the Imperiales stretches the brand’s cedar and cream character over a long, unhurried smoke. Body sits at Light to Medium, making this the choice for smokers who want refined French elegance across a full hour or more.
