Buying guide for Flor de Selva cigars

Flor de Selva was founded in 1995 by Maya Selva, a French-Honduran entrepreneur who successfully established herself in the male-dominated cigar industry. The inspiration came from Maya's Honduran grandfather, who was a passionate smoker of Honduran cigars. The tobaccos are sourced exclusively from the fertile regions of Honduras, particularly the Jamastrán Valley in El Paraíso and the Danlí region. The cigars are distinguished by their balanced blend of Honduran tobaccos with Nicaraguan binders and Connecticut Shade wrappers. The typical characteristics of the cigars range from mild to medium-bodied with subtle notes of cedarwood, dried fruits, and honey-like aromas.

Our pairing recommendations for Flor de Selva cigars

Mild formats

Smooth cigars offer delicate notes of cedarwood, light sweetness, and floral undertones. Light, fresh drinks like sparkling Prosecco or mild rum emphasize this elegance without overpowering the delicate flavors. A creamy cappuccino underscores the gentle spiciness, while a gin and tonic provides a vibrant contrast with its botanical notes.

Recommended drinks: Sparkling wine (Bottega Gold), Rum (Bacardi Carta Blanca), Gin (Hendrick’s Gin mit Tonic), Cappuccino

 

Medium-sized formats

Here, woody, spicy, and slightly sweet cigar aromas meet aged spirits with vanilla, oak, and fruit notes. A blended Scotch or a mild Irish whiskey brings gentle roasted and vanilla tones into play, beautifully rounding out the cigar's spice. Aged rum adds additional depth with its caramel and dried fruit notes, while Barolo Brunate, a robust red wine with complex fruit and spice aromas, is an elegant complement. Finally, VSOP Cognac rounds out the smoking experience with its delicate notes of oak and fruit.

Recommended drinks: Whisky (Johnnie Walker Black Label, Jameson Irish Whiskey), Rum (Zacapa 23), Cognac (Rémy Martin VSOP)

 

Strong formats

Strong cigars with deep, complex flavors require suitable companions. XO Cognac and Armagnac, with their long-aged, multi-layered aromas of dried fruits, cocoa, and spices, offer a harmonious complement. Single malt whisky impresses with its aromas of delicate vanilla, dark chocolate, and oak, while rum, with its ripe, sweet, and spicy notes, provides a luxurious finish—all perfect for underscoring the depth and complexity of strong cigars.

Recommended drinks: Scotch Single Malt Whisky (Macallan 18 Years), Rum (Ron Zacapa Centenario), Cognac (Hennessy XO), Armagnac (Janneau X.O. Grand Armagnac)

 

For special moments:Maduro Collection

The Flor de Selva Robusto Maduro combines chocolate, espresso, and roasted nuts in a 50-minute taste experience. The dark Maduro wrapper gives the cigar additional depth and sweetness. Perfectly accompanied by a Hennessy Paradis or a Chateau Magnol for exceptional moments of enjoyment.
