Maya Selva Cigars Adds Cumpay Lancero
Maya Selva Cigars has announced that it has added a lancero to its Cumpay line.
It measures 7 x 38 and is offered in 20-count boxes, and joins the lineup as a regular production size. Like the rest of the line, it is a Nicaraguan puro, with a wrapper from Jalapa, a binder from Estelí and filler that comes from undisclosed regions of the country.
“The new Lancero has the elegance of a unique savoir-faire,” the company said in a press release. “It´s the expression of a grand cigar that has power, finesse, and complexity. It features a complex array of aromas, with a hint of espresso, hazelnut and leather, revealed through an unusual progression where potency precedes mildness.”
The Cumpay line, which gets its name from the Tawakha Indian name for a rolled tobacco leaf, now stands at seven vitolas:
- Cumpay Short (4 x 46)
- Cumpay Robusto (4 3/4 x 50)
- Cumpay Volcán (5 x 60)
- Cumpay No.15 (5 1/2 x 54)
- Cumpay Corona (5 1/2 x 42)
- Cumpay Churchill (7 x 48)
- Cumpay Lancero (7 x 38)
Additionally, the Cumpay line is offered in two maduro options, a Robusto Maduro and Volcán Maduro.
The new size is available as of today in European markets, where it is priced at €18 ($19.63) per cigar. It is scheduled to be available in the U.S. at the end of April and will have an MSRP of $18 per cigar.

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.
