Cumpay Cigars: Female Power in the Tobacco World
The name Maya Selva is well known among many aficionados. The French-Honduran entrepreneur is one of the few women at the helm of a tobacco label. During a trip to her homeland, she discovered her passion for cigars and took the bold step of founding her own brand. With great success: Her lines Flor de Selva and Villa Zamorano have become true bestsellers.
Cumpay Cigars: Bold Longfillers from Nicaragua
Maya's expertise extends beyond just Honduran tobacco, as demonstrated by her Cumpay series. The tobaccos from the Jalapa Valley thrive in nutrient-rich volcanic soil, delivering an intense smoking experience. When combined with a wrapper from Estelí, the result is a puro that particularly appeals to fans of bold cigars. Wrapper, binder, and filler all come from soils renowned for their fertility.
A true highlight is the Cumpay Robusto. It offers a medium to full-bodied smoking experience with complex aromas of roasted coffee, cocoa, and a delicate sweetness. Thanks to its excellent craftsmanship, it delivers an even burn and an easy draw—ideal for those who appreciate the distinctive taste of Nicaraguan cigars.
