Maya Selva Adds Vitolas to Flor de Selva Lines at InterTabac 2023
At the recent InterTabac trade fair in Dortmund, Germany, Maya Selva Cigars unveiled some new sizes for its Flor de Selva lines, as well a new sampler showcasing the toro vitola across the Flor de Selva lines.
The Flor de Selva Selvita becomes the smallest vitola in the line, a 4 x 30 vitola designed to be a companion for a short break or a quick stroll in any season, the company said in a press release. It uses a Honduran-grown, Connecticut-seed wrapper, while the fillers from Honduras as well. The company says it is medium-bodied and offers the classic woody and spicy aromas found in the line’s other sizes. The Selvita is priced at $38 for a 10-count tin.
The Flor de Selva Maduro line is getting a 6 x 52 toro that is priced at $14 per cigar and $280 for a box of 20 cigars. It stays true to the line’s blend, with the wrapper and binder coming from Honduras’ Jamastrán Valley. While the fillers also come from Honduras, the company does not disclose specifics about where they come from or what varietals they are. The company calls the Flor de Selva Maduro Toro a well-balanced, medium to full-bodied cigar.
The Flor de Selva Toro Maduro Toro joins a toro in the Flor de Selva line that came out in June and one in the Flor de Selva No. 20 line that came out in Fall 2022. The three cigars are being showcased in a new sampler called the Flor de Selva Trío Toro, a regular production item that is priced at $43.50.
The new cigars and the sampler will be available in all markets and are expected to ship in mid-October. All of the new cigars are produced at the Plasencia’s Tabacos de Oriente factory in Honduras.
The company also unveiled Año del Dragón 2024 at InterTabac 2023, its new blend being released in celebration of the upcoming Lunar New Year. That cigar is also due out in mid-October.

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 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.
