Storage Instructions
To preserve the character of QUAI D’ORSAY N.54 (10) store your cigars in a quality humidor. Aim for a relative humidity between 65% and 70% and a temperature range of 65ºF to 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). This Cuban blend and its elegant wrapper respond best to steady conditions rather than frequent swings. Line the humidor with Spanish cedar if possible and use a reliable digital hygrometer to monitor humidity. Keep cigars away from strong odors and direct sunlight, and allow any recently shipped examples to rest in the humidor for at least one to two weeks so they can acclimate. Avoid over humidifying which can encourage mold and under humidifying which can dry the wrapper and draw.
Care Tips
Handle QUAI D’ORSAY N.54 (10) with clean hands and gentle touch to protect the delicate wrapper and preserve the natural oils. Store cigars lying flat or standing with the head up to reduce pressure on the wrapper. If you plan to age these cigars do so in stable conditions for six months to several years to develop added complexity while checking occasionally for humidity balance. Before smoking let the cigar sit at smoking humidity for a few days if it has been recently moved from transit. When cutting and lighting use sharp tools and an even flame to avoid tearing the cap and to protect the wrapper. Rotate stock in your humidor so older cigars are smoked first while keeping several boxes set aside for longer term aging if you enjoy deeper maturity.

History and Heritage
Quai D’ORSAY is a Cuban brand created to appeal to a more delicate palate, particularly for the French market.

The N.54 represents the line’s approach to size and balance, offering smokers a measured, even burn and a focus on finesse. If you enjoy cigars that emphasize refined flavor and consistent construction, the Quai D’ORSAY N.54 fits that tradition well.
Tasting Notes
The QUAI D’ORSAY N.54 (10) presents a refined medium to medium‑full body that balances classic Cuban smoothness with a measured spicy backbone. Expect a layered palate of cedar and warm baking spice upfront, giving way to creamy cacao, roasted coffee bean, and subtle honeyed sweetness at the midpoint. Delicate notes of toasted almond and leather emerge on the finish, while floral and citrus-tinged aromatics lift the retrohale, offering an elegant, persistent bouquet. Overall the smoke is silky and complex, rewarding slow, contemplative draws.
Pairing Suggestions
Single-origin espresso or café cubano, the concentrated coffee intensity complements the cigar’s roasted coffee and cocoa notes while cutting through the creaminess for a harmonious contrast. Añejo rum or aged Dominican/Cuban-style rum, its caramel, oak and dried-fruit character echoes the cigar’s honeyed sweetness and cedar, enhancing the cigar’s spice and nutty undertones. Bittersweet dark chocolate or a mature manchego, the chocolate amplifies the cocoa and roasted elements, while the cheese offers a savory counterpoint that highlights the leather and almond nuances on the finish.
