The Maya Selva VZ Danlí Robusto had an interesting and engaging start with the flavor delivery in the first third. I found the remainder of the cigar pleasant, and reasonably balanced, but not as complex as the start. I think the flavor here was above average, and is unlikely something I would return to. However, the price point is roughly half the current market price which makes it something I might try in another size to see how it performs.
The Maya Selva Flor de Selva 2012 No. 15 had a nice start, with a good combination of flavors and smooth delivery. It took a step down in the second third as the earth joined and built up and maintained that level the rest of the way. This is a decent Honduran puro and I'd be open to coming back to it from time to time. Definitely a step up for me over the newest rendition of the blend.
Maya Selva once again delivers an enjoyable cigar experience with the Maya Selva Flor de Selva 2023 No. 15. The first and second thirds were the most engaging for me, with the last third taking on some hay and wood components that distracted from the other flavors. I would enjoy smoking another Maya Selva Flor de Selva 2023 No. 15, and it will be interesting to contrast this experience against the 2012 offering.
The Maya Selva Flor de Selva Año del Dragón 2024 had a different and interesting flavor profile that kept me engaged through the first and second thirds without giving me palate fatigue. The last third was still enjoyable, but not quite at the same level of complexity. This is a cigar I will obviously smoke again, however this is something I would likely limit to special occasions.
The official name is the "Colección Aniversario Nº20." After an enormous response in Europe, we are now bringing the Colección stateside as our official 2017 release.
An overall good representation of a maduro cigar, providing namely great notes of cocoa, wood and tame spice.
