Maya Selva Cigars is releasing at Intertabac 2024 its new limited edition Año de la Serpiente under its Flor de Selva brand. 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 new limited-edition Año de la Serpiente continues its branding line of bringing together in its design traditional Chinese patterns and Mayan hieroglyphics. In both the Chinese and the Mayan cultures, animal symbolism and iconography play a crucial role in their spirituality. The ancient Maya believed we each have a “nahual” — a spirit animal that guides us through life.

In 2025, we will enter the Year of the Snake, a sign known for its enigmatic and introspective nature. The Snake is the master seducer of the Chinese Zodiac. Always well-liked, Snakes are sociable yet introverted as well as intuitive and blessed with a keen aptitude for business.

This new and exclusive blend is finished with wrapper with hand-picked tobacco from the renowned Jamastran Valley in southeastern Honduras — a unique land that offers the perfect combination of soil, climate, and human know-how that nurture this traditionally sacred plant. The filler is a blend of select tobacco grown throughout Honduras and Nicaragua.
