NEW: Edición limitada Flor de Copán 1795

230 years of tobacco tradition in one cigar - but what is really behind the Flor de Copán 1795? In 1795, the Royal Tobacco Factory of Copán was opened in Santa Rosa de los Llanos - today's Santa Rosa de Copán in Honduras.

It goes back to a royal decree issued by the Spanish crown in 1765, which ordered the establishment of a tobacco manufactory, which from then on set prices, distributed seeds and regulated all tobacco production in the region. This laid the foundations for a tobacco tradition that was inherited from pre-Columbian cultures and is still alive today.

In honour of the 230th anniversary of this historic factory, Flor de Copán is now presenting the exclusive Edición Limitada 1795. The cigars are made „hecho a mano“ - by hand - and are characterised by their elegant format with a length of 157 mm and a ring gauge of 42.

The Grupo de Maestros at the La Flor de Copán manufactory in Santa Rosa de Copán is responsible for the composition of the tobaccos. The tobacco leaves for this Edición come from Honduras, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

The flavour profile of the cigars is characterised by roasted and woody aromas, accompanied by nuances of dried fruit and fine spice. Notes of roasted nuts, coffee, almond, cinnamon and pepper unfold over the course of around an hour of smoking - a complex flavour profile that reflects the centuries-old tobacco tradition of the Santa Rosa de Copán region.

The Flor de Copán 1795 Edición Limitada is released in an edition of only 5,200 boxes worldwide, 1,000 of which are reserved for the German market.

I was allowed to taste a sample. I couldn't detect any cinnamon in the flavour profile. But it was an excellent cigar that I can highly recommend.
