Quai D’Orsay based its signature on its very distinctive Blend –Ligada – smooth and subtle, developing pastry notes.

Four decades ago, the new brand was launched and named Quai D’Orsay after the Parisian wharf along the river Seine, where the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the SEITA happened to be located.

Habanos s.a. has developed in collaboration with SEITA on this special 40th Anniversary occasion this Belicoso Royal Regional Edition.
