Maya Selva Cigars will be bringing a new release to InterTabac 2018, the Year of the Pig. This is a limited edition cigar with the motto “to good fortune in 2019.” This is the second year in a row that Maya Selva Cigars has released a special edition cigar for Chinese New Year. The blend uses tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua.
The line’s design combines traditional Chinese patterns with Mayan hieroglyphics. The pig is the 12th sign of the Chinese zodiac, and according to their tradition, there are 12 animals guarding the gates of Heaven. Meanwhile, on a different continent, the Mayas believed that we are all born with a Nahual, or spirit animal, that guides us through life.
The cigar comes in one vitolas, a toro. The tobacco comes from the valleys of Jamastrán in Honduras and Jalapa in Nicaragua.
