Flor de Selva Classic Panetela

The Flor de Selva Classic Panetela is a remarkable cigar with dimensions of 114.3 mm (4½") in length and 11.9 mm (½") in diameter. Its wrapper, a beautiful Honduran, showcases a smooth and silky appearance, with a strong and even roll. Its presentation lives up to its reputation, despite a band that may seem a bit disproportionate for this small format. Upon handling, one feels a pleasant texture that promises a delightful tasting adventure.

At first olfactory contact, the cigar reveals confident and woody aromas, offering a lovely complexity. Upon lighting, this complexity continues to develop, presenting a rich and enjoyable start with a gentle fruity note. The evolution of the aromas in the first thirds is striking, creating a memorable and engaging olfactory experience.

On the palate, the cigar reveals a harmonious development of flavors. Throughout the three thirds of the tasting, it offers a balanced progression with spicy flavors and occasionally slightly salty notes, accompanied by a hint of sweetness. While the initial impressions are creamy, the second half intensifies the strength and may tend toward roughness without detracting from the overall experience.

The finish brings a sensation of residual sweetness with a medium finish that is pleasant and well-balanced. The strength of the cigar is revealed to be mild overall, making it an excellent choice for a cigar break without being too light or aggressive. What sets the Flor de Selva apart is its unique ability to captivate while remaining accessible.

Ideal for enjoyment at any time of the day, this cigar pairs perfectly with a black coffee or a light tea, enhancing its sweet and woody notes while preserving the finesse of its aromas.
