After the presentation in 2017 of the No. 50 and No. 54, at the end of 2023, the Quai d’Orsay brand’s portfolio was enriched with No. 52, a Toro with a gentle character that was missing from the brand but also from Habanos S.A.. The No. 52 provides a pleasant smoke with a strength that is never too evident.
It is creamy right from the start, with notes of hazelnut, cappuccino and wood. Then a herbal note takes over, accompanied by a sweetness that remains stable until the last puffs. The contained strength allows for a wide reading of every aromatic nuance.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
