What are the Quai d'Orsay Ambassadeur Edición Regional Andorra dimensions and ring gauge?

The Quai d'Orsay Ambassadeur Edición Regional Andorra measures 156mm (6.1 inches) in length with a 52 ring gauge, making it a substantial double robusto format. This size was specifically selected for the 2018 Andorra regional release, produced in a limited run of 6,000 numbered boxes containing 25 cigars each. The 52 ring gauge provides ample wrapper-to-filler ratio, allowing the signature Quai d'Orsay creaminess to develop fully through the extended smoking time of approximately 60-75 minutes.

What does the Quai d'Orsay Ambassadeur Andorra regional edition taste like?

The Ambassadeur delivers Quai d'Orsay's characteristic light-to-medium bodied profile with pronounced cream, toasted bread, and floral honey notes. Compared to the regular production Coronas Claro, the Andorra regional offers greater complexity with developing cedar, vanilla, and subtle citrus peel through the second third. The final third introduces light coffee bean and almond without the intensity found in heavier marcas. The 2018 release has developed additional depth with aging, showing more pronounced caramel sweetness than fresher examples.

How much does the Quai d'Orsay Ambassadeur Edición Regional Andorra cost and is it collectible?

Current secondary market pricing ranges from €25-35 per cigar depending on box condition and provenance, with full numbered boxes commanding €600-900. As one of only two Quai d'Orsay Edición Regionals released (alongside the 2018 Belicoso Royal for France), the Ambassadeur holds particular collector interest. The limited 6,000-box production, combined with the marca's growing popularity following its 2019 relaunch, has sustained appreciation. Authentic examples require verification of the numbered box code and Andorra-specific secondary band featuring the coat of arms.
