If you happen to be in Paris, you’ll be able to pick up a beefy new size in Maya Selva’s Villa Zamorano Reserva line.
It’s a 6 x 56 toro gordo that is known as the Toro Paris and has an MSRP of €8.40 ($9.76) per cigar and €210 ($244.20) for a 25-count box. It’s a Honduran puro, with a wrapper grown on Maya Selva’s farms in Jamastran’s Santa Eulalia region, while the fillers draw on several of Honduras’s growing regions.
While it is a limited edition, the company is not disclosing production numbers. A representative of the company said the release would be just for 2021.
The Villa Zamorano Reserva line was launched at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, with shipping to European retailers beginning at the end of 2016. It was released in the United States in 2018.
The cigar is already on store shelves, having been released this past weekend.
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.
