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.
