Buy cigars by La Flor de Cano
In the medium price range, La Flor de Cano brand cigars offer a good balance between taste and aroma. According to official records, the brand was registered in 1884 by the brothers Tomás and José Cano. Not much is known about the history of this brand. It is believed that it was a rather small family business. Nevertheless, it had a very good reputation, especially in England and Spain. The formats produced to this day are totalmente a mano, tripa corta - completely handmade short fillers from tobacco leaves of the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta tobacco growing zones.
Worth knowing
With the Flor de Cano Elegidos, Habanos S.A. presents a new vitola whose name translates into German as 'The Chosen One'. The production name, which was created especially for this vitola, is "Lirios". It is a classic Robusto format.
Flavours
Friends of H.Upmann's "Conni 1" or Por Larranaga will find a much cheaper alternative in the Elegidos. The superbly made Robusto brings across the classic aromas of milder Cubans in an uncomplicated way - pleasing, gentle roasted aromas with the scent of fresh coffee beans, creamy well-being, fine cedar notes, subtle sweetness with a caramel touch, nutty overtones. The light blend develops in the course of more pithy facets, but retains its balanced, very harmonious character throughout. The perfect afternoon cigar.

Worth knowing
The „last ¨survivor“ of this engaging little brand is a handmade short filler in the (contrary to the name) rather unusual corona small format „Standard“ (smoking time approx. 30 – 40 minutes). As is usually the case with much higher-priced cigars, it is almost entirely covered in a cedar leaf.
Flavours
This rather light, wonderfully fine-flavoured cigar is characterised by fragrant, floral-herbal aromas. The enveloping „Cedro“ contributes the elegant Ätherik of light woods. The typical play of aromas of light Habanos – sweet, white-bread-like cereal flavour, a hint of milky coffee, charming honey –is present throughout and shifts towards a little more spiciness towards the end. But the unique selling point are the sweet, elegant crumb notes. This cigar fits particularly well in the warm months and is very beginner-friendly.

Die La Flor De Cano Selectos ist im Gegensatz zur Petit Corona eine Spezialität. Trotz einer Länge von 15 cm, einem Durchmesser von 1,6 cm und 41er Ringmaß sollte man sich von dieser seltenen Vitola nicht abschrecken lassen, denn die Zigarre mit schicker roter Bauchbinde besitzt eine feine, relativ milde Persönlichkeit voller Harmonie.
