Since 2018 Maya Selva Cigars has released limited editions that celebrate Chinese New Year. These special blends are a tribute to the hand-crafted cigar tradition. The tobacco in a toro-sized cigar AÑO DEL TIGRE 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 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.
