Elegidos is new from Cuba by Flor de Cano
Elegidos is the name of the new format from Flor de Cano, Cuba. It is a Robusto and the factory format is called Lirios. There was already a Robusto with almost the same dimensions in 1987. At that time it was called „Short Churchill“ and was 124 mm long and had a 50 ring gauge. It was discontinued in 1992. A little later, in 2018 (released in late 2019), there was the Regional Edition Países Bajos (Netherlands); this was also 124 mm long and had a 50 ring gauge.
The new Elegidos has a length of 127 mm and also has a 50 mm ring. Here is the test report >
The official importer for Switzerland, the Intertabak AG, announced: The new cigar will be available at Casa del Habano from 7 April 2021 and at Habanos Specialists from 14.04.21
Flor de Cano cigars offer a good balance between flavour 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 assumed that it was a rather small family business, but it had a very good reputation, especially in England and Spain. The formats still produced today are totalmente a mano, tripa corta - Shortfiller, which Completely by hand are made from tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo and Semi Vuelta tobacco growing regions.
Elegidos
The Flor de Cano Elegidos are available in boxes of 10 cigars at a price of CHF 45.00.

I'm looking forward to it! The Flor de Cano Cheese Edition from 2018 was, as far as I know, not a short filler, has good vapour and is very tasty! But it was €95 for a box of 10. CHF 4.50 for a Cuba Robusto, even if short filler, definitely a very good PLV...if it tastes good.
I have had very good experiences with short-fillers from Cuba so far. These cigars also need time to mature. I will write a review of the cigar shortly. The BD is already older than 4 months. I'm curious to see how it will taste.
