As with all Regional Editions, this cigar was created specifically to satisfy the preferences of the French market, distributed through SEITA's established network. The Quai d'Orsay brand, with its French heritage and connection to the Parisian quay where the brand originated, makes this particular Regional Edition especially meaningful for French cigar aficionados.
