Quai D'Orsay was created in the 1970s for the French market. The name comes from the avenue in Paris where the headquarters of SEITA was located, the former state owned French Tobacco giant.

In 2018 the brand received a total make over which included the introduction of two new sizes (No 50 & No 54) and stylish new packaging with re designed eye catching cigar bands. Perhaps partly as a reflection of how well the modernisation was accepted, the brand was selected for the very first time to be part of the Habanos Limited Edition Family and in 2019 the Quai D'Orsay Senadores was showcased to a global cigar audience, although arriving for sale a year later in 2020/ 

The Senadores are a classic Hermoso No. 2 size measuring 6 1/8" with a 48 ring gauge and are presented in Special Presentation Boxes of 25 Cigars. 

Quai d’Orsay was established in 1973 and originally aimed at the French market. It was named after an avenue in Paris that once housed the headquarters of SEITA, the former French tobacco company.
