Honduras today boasts two great cigar terroirs: "Copan" around Santa Rosa de Copan and "el Paraiso" around Danli. Maya Selva created the Flor de Selva brand in 1995 and introduced the Honduran terroir to France, where, unlike Germany, it was virtually unknown.
She then introduced cigar lovers to her cigars, whoseorganoleptic register seemed to be halfway between Dominican sweetness and Cuban strength. They are easy to smoke, aromatic without being anaesthetic. Flor de Selva employs 3,000 people.
Statistical calculations have shown that a single leaf of tobacco passes through 370 pairs of hands before it goes on sale. It's impossible to replace the touch and eye of those who select and blend the leaves; their rigor ensures the subtlety of the blends. A magical moment when each module acquires its own personality.
