This year, the company has announced their latest in the series – AÑO DEL TIGRE (Year of the Tiger). The tobacco in this toro-sized cigar is handpicked in the renowned valley of Jamastrán in Honduras.
This blend provides the smoker with very pleasant earthy aromas with nutty and roasted coffee notes. It´s a creamy smoke. Medium strength.
The blend is described as:
- Wrapper: Jamastrán – Honduras
- Binder: Azacualpa, Olancho – Honduras
- Filler: A selection of the best tobacco from Honduras
The Maya Selva Cigars AÑO DEL TIGRE 2022 is packaged in artistic 10-count boxes. MSRP has been set at $235.00/box and will begin shipping December 2021.
The line’s design combines traditional Chinese patterns with Mayan hieroglyphics. The fauna of the ancient Maya, similar to the Chinese, have proven to play a significant part of their spiritual beliefs, symbolism and iconography. The Mayas believe we are all born with a “NAHAUL” or animal spirit that guides through life.
