Flor de Cano Selectos No.3 UK Regional Edition 2023

The Cigar

La Flor de Cano was established in 1932 and is renowned for its dedication to craftsmanship and tradition. The brand offers two distinct ranges: the Regional Editions, which are long-filler handmade cigars crafted with premium tobacco from Vuelta Abajo, and the standard range, which features short-filler handmade cigars combining tobacco from Semi Vuelta and Vuelta Abajo.

The UK was the first market to select La Flor de Cano for a Regional Edition, and the Selectos No.3 marks the third UK-exclusive Regional Edition, following the Short Robusto in 2010 and the Gran Cano in 2013. A total of 125,000 Selectos No.3 cigars have been produced, presented in 5,000 SLB boxes, each adorned with a unique band printed with the size name.

The Selectos No.3 is a Cervantes size, also known as a Lonsdale, a format popularized by Hugh Cecil Lowther, the fifth Earl of Lonsdale (1857–1944). Although it was once one of the most popular sizes, today only the Montecristo No.1 represents this format in the Habanos portfolio.

The Selectos No.3 offers a sweet floral beginning with a citrus freshness that evolves into a rich spiciness while maintaining balance and avoiding bitterness. The slender vitola provides the perfect format for La Flor de Cano's elegant blend to develop gracefully throughout the hour-long smoking experience. This cigar is delightful to enjoy now and promises to age with the refinement and grace of its esteemed predecessors.
