Intertabak Celebrate 25th Anniversary With Quai d’Orsay Selection Royale Edición Regional Suiza

April 13, 2023 Inspector L 2 min read

Intertabak, the exclusive Habanos distributor for Switzerland, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2020. And it was supposed to celebrate that landmark with a regional edition, the Quai d’Orsay Selection Royale Edición Regional Suiza. This ‘109’, a 7¼x50 double robusto with soft shoulders would come with an additional ring celebrating the 25th anniversary.

Habanos however took the ‘fashionable late’ term to new limits. Three years after the planned date, the cigars are finally available at the La Casa del Habano stores in Switzerland by the end of this month. Early next month, Habanos Specialist in Switzerland will get the chance to offer these cigars to their clients too.

The delay has an upside for those who like packaging. The extra time given to Intertabak offered them the opportunity to upgrade the packaging. Each box comes in a decorative outer packaging with a gold and black design that further enhances the cigar’s designation as a regional edition. It features the Quai d’Orsay brand logo which, in homage to Switzerland, traces a horizon line passing by the Matterhorn and the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, followed by the Fraumünster and Grossmünster churches in Zürich and ending with the Parliament building in Berne.

1600 boxes, each containing 50 cigars, are made and a box price is set to 1500 CHF.
