Every Quai D'orsay No. 54 is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Quai D’Orsay carries a distinctly French sensibility within the Habanos family, a brand born to suit the European palate and named after the celebrated Parisian quay along the Seine. The No. 54 arrived in 2017 as a regular production addition to the line, built on the generous Robusto Extra format. It quickly became a favorite for smokers who appreciate finesse over force, pairing a flawless golden Colorado wrapper with a smoke that feels poised and unhurried from the first light.
The opening leans soft and aromatic, with cedar and a sweet floral note carried on a creamy, almost vanilla-tinged smoke and only the faintest tickle of pepper. Through the middle the cigar gathers a touch more presence, layering toast and a gentle black pepper edge against that persistent cream, while subtle bread and nut tones surface in the background. The final third stays composed and elegant, holding its woody, sweet character right through to a clean, lingering finish that never turns harsh.
Keep your cigars in a well seasoned humidor held around 68 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The No. 54 smokes beautifully young, yet its delicate cedar and cream profile can round out and gain a touch of depth with a year or two of patient rest. Rotate your boxes occasionally and check your hygrometer so the wrapper stays supple and the draw remains effortless.
This is an ideal cigar for newcomers easing into Cuban tobacco and for seasoned aficionados who simply crave something light, refined, and easy to enjoy. Its mild to medium body makes it a natural morning or early afternoon smoke, and the relaxed, hour-or-so burn suits a quiet break rather than a marathon session. If you favor subtlety and elegance over heavy strength, the No. 54 belongs in your rotation.
Is the Quai D’Orsay No. 54 a strong cigar?
No, it sits firmly in the mild to medium range. The body lifts slightly in the second third but stays gentle, which is exactly why it appeals to both beginners and experienced smokers looking for something lighter.
What size is the No. 54?
It is a Robusto Extra measuring 5.3 inches (135 mm) with a 54 ring gauge, giving you a comfortably thick yet manageable smoke that typically lasts around an hour.
What does it taste like?
Expect a creamy, woody profile led by cedar and vanilla, accented by soft pepper, toast, and gentle floral sweetness. It is smooth and refined rather than bold or spicy.

The Cuban Cigar Quai D'orsay No. 54 is a quality cigar. Nice balance of flavor and strength. I enjoyed the coffee and cream notes throughout. Construction was very good with only one minor touch-up needed. Good cigar for experienced smokers.
Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Cuban Cigar Quai D'orsay No. 54 delivered on flavor (nuts and earth) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
Very good cigar. The Cuban Cigar Quai D'orsay No. 54 lives up to its reputation. Beautiful wrapper, good construction, and nice flavor development. Tasted honey and tobacco with a smooth finish. Not the absolute best I've had, but definitely solid. Would buy again.
