Quai D’Orsay No. 54

Quai D’Orsay No. 54 – The Modern Edmundo Grueso

The Quai D’Orsay No. 54 is the larger of the two modern vitolas that relaunched the marca in 2017. Quai D’Orsay was created in 1973 for the French market and named after the elegant Quai d’Orsay in Paris, and the No. 54 brought a fuller, more contemporary Edmundo Grueso format to that classic, cedar led house style. Fully handmade from 100% Cuban long filler grown in the Vuelta Abajo, it measures 135 mm (5 5/16″) with a generous 54 ring gauge.

Light to medium in body, the No. 54 offers a longer, more substantial smoke than the No. 50 while keeping the same smooth, refined French inspired profile. At around 45 minutes, it suits smokers who want a fuller format Havana without straying into heavier, more aggressive territory.
