Maya Selva’s newest release—cigars aged for a decade—is beginning to arrive at stores.

To show off the effects of controlled aging in ideal conditions, the company has set aside thousands of cigars from a variety of vitolas and brands for future releases that will showcase a guaranteed aging process under carefully controlled conditions of temperature, humidity, and light.

The second release is the Flor de Selva Tempo 10 Year Aged-Rolled, a 6 x 60 gordo that has been aged for 10 years as part of this project. The Flor de Selva line is a Honduran puro, with a Connecticut-seed wrapper and a binder that is grown in the Jamastrán region. The Tempo vitola is a 6 x 60 gordo that the company says offers a medium strength profile; it is offered as a regular production size for the line, albeit without the extended aging period.

In 2023, Maya Selva Cigars debuted the project by releasing a batch of aged Flor de Selva No. 15s, though by putting the aged cigars, which were rolled in 2012, next to current ones rolled in 2022 as part of a limited release.

These cigars were rolled in 2013, and just 500 boxes of 10 cigars are being released. Pricing is set at $27.65 per cigar and $276.50 for a box of 10 cigars.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
