About  Quai d'Orsay   In the early 1970s, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, a French official, wanted to boost France's reputation in the tobacco industry, much like its prestige in perfumes, champagne and fashion. To do this, he decided to create a special cigar brand. Recognising Cuba's expertise in cigars, Gilbert Belaubre thought it would be a good idea to collaborate with Cuban cigar makers. So, in 1973, a new cigar brand called "Quai D’Orsay" was established by Cubatabaco exclusively for France, as requested by the French company Seita. The name "Quai d’Orsay" was chosen because it was linked to a famous avenue in Paris where Seita had its offices. This brand was officially registered on February 23, 1972. For more than 40 years, Quai D’Orsay was a hidden treasure in the world of Cuban cigars, mainly available to experts in the French market. It became successful with special editions and unique products made just for the French market.

About Nub cigar Nub Cigars are quite unique in the world of cigars. Most cigars take a while to reveal all their different flavors, especially the bigger ones like Toros and Churchills. Oliva Cigars wanted to create something different—a cigar that would show its flavors right from the start and keep them throughout the smoke. So, they came up with the Nub —a short and chubby cigar that promised a rich and flavorful smoking experience, just like a regular cigar, even though it's shorter. Surprisingly, Nub cigars actually have as much or even more tobacco than a typical robusto, which means they should burn just as long as a regular cigar, giving you a satisfying and lasting smoke.
