Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.
If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.
How does Quai d'Orsay No. 50 compare to other Quai d'Orsay cigars?
Quai d'Orsay was created in 1973 for the French state tobacco monopoly SEITA, named after the quai along the Seine that houses the French Foreign Ministry. For 40 years the brand was distributed only in France; in 2016 Habanos S.A. expanded distribution worldwide and gave the line a complete refresh with three new vitolas. The Quai d'Orsay No. 50 is the most-traded of the modern range — a 4.9-inch Robusto at 50 ring, designed to deliver the brand's signature gentle, creamy profile in the most popular Cuban format.
Is the price for Quai d'Orsay No. 50 likely to drop?
Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.
Short-term, prices fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.

Quai d'Orsay was created in 1973 for the French state tobacco monopoly SEITA, named after the quai along the Seine that houses the French Foreign Ministry. For 40 years the brand was distributed only in France; in 2016 Habanos S.A. expanded distribution worldwide and gave the line a complete refresh with three new vitolas.

The smoke is the mildest Cuban robusto in continuous production. First third opens with butter, hay and a faint floral note; the middle drifts into Quai's signature creamy cedar with a touch of honey; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly sweet finish that holds for the full hour. A box of 10 sits in the €245 to €310 range: Noblego runs around €265, Cigarmust CHF 295 (~€310). Excellent first-Cuban-robusto for milder smokers.
