After putting aged Flor de Selva No. 15s next to current ones in a limited release last year, this year, Maya Selva is releasing a small batch of its Flor de Selva Tempo that has been aged for 10 years to show off the effects of time on its cigars.

The Flor de Selva line is a Honduran puro, with a Connecticut-seed wrapper while the binder is grown in the Jamastrán region. The Tempo vitola is a 6 x 60 gordo that the company says offers a medium strength profile.

The cigars in this release were rolled in 2013, and are being released with an MSRP of $27.65 per cigar and $276.50 for a box of 10 cigars. A total of 500 boxes are being released, with shipping expected to occur at the end of May.

The company says that it has set aside thousands of cigars from a variety of vitolas and brands for future releases that will feature cigars that have undergone a guaranteed aging process under carefully controlled conditions of temperature, humidity, and light.

Correction (March 18, 2024) — An earlier version of this article indicated that 500 cigars were being released, when it is 500 boxes of 10 cigars. We have corrected the error and regret the mistake.

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.
