Maya Selva is French-Honduran royalty, the niece of a former President of Honduras, and one of the few women to carve her name into the world of fine cigars. Her journey began humbly in 1994, when she approached Nestor Plasencia for work sorting tobacco. From there, she learned the craft from the ground up—rolling cigars, blending, fermenting, and ultimately creating her own legacy. Today, her Flor de Selva brand is one of Europe’s hottest non-Cuban lines, standing toe-to-toe with Havana classics and winning.
The Flor de Selva White Rose is her love letter to cedar-aged refinement. Crafted in a limited size with a foot band exclusive to Privada, these cigars were packed into boxes of 100 made from fresh-cut cedar, where they absorbed their distinctive personality over nine months before even reaching us. With 5 years of total age, this release represents peak elegance—balanced, refined, yet full of surprises. It’s the kind of cigar that belongs in a retirement cooler, the type you set aside knowing it will only grow more mythical with time.
First Third: Opens with the unmistakable flavor of fresh-cut cedar, layered with sesame oil richness that quickly evolves into simple syrup, toast, cream, and florals. Orange rind and black pepper weave in, creating a unique mix of sweetness and spice. The retrohale is explosive: creamy, woody, tart, and menthol-fruity.
Second Third: Powdery smoke dominates with sugarcane sweetness, white pepper, marigold florals, and eucalyptus. Toast and cedar form the backbone, while sesame oil resurfaces as a savory, nutty thread tying everything together.
Final Third: The profile shifts toward autumnal warmth—bread crust, cedar, eucalyptus, nutmeg, cola nut, cream, and a cinnamon finish. The smoke turns dessert-like, echoing spiced holiday pastries.
Flor de Selva is already a darling of Europe, but through Privada, Maya Selva’s work finally reaches the U.S. with the reverence it deserves. This White Rose is not just a cigar—it’s a bridge between Old World elegance and New World boldness, a testament to Honduran terroir and craftsmanship. With its unique cedar-box aging and years of refinement, it embodies Privada’s mission of sourcing rare, meaningful, and unforgettable smoking experiences.
