Quai d’Orsay No. 52 Description
The Quai d’Orsay No. 52 measures 6 1/8 inches (156 mm) with a 52 ring gauge, a generous size that gives you around an hour to an hour and a quarter of smoking time. The Quai d’Orsay No. 52 has a smooth, oily Colorado wrapper and is firmly filled and hand-rolled with long-filler tobacco, as every Habanos cigar is.
