La Flor de Cano Exclusivo Reino Unido Selectos No.3

The highly anticipated La Flor de Cano Exclusivo Reino Unido Selectos No.3 has officially arrived for discerning collectors. This ultra-rare UK Regional Edition represents a monumental shift for the historic brand, which is traditionally known for its standard mixed-filler portfolio. By contrast, this spectacular Cervantes vitola Cuban regional edition delivers an elevated, premium smoking experience that stands as the crown jewel of the brand's modern history.

What Makes This Cigar Special

This specific release belongs to the prestigious 2022 class of Habanos S.A. Edición Regional cigars, distributed exclusively by Hunters & Frankau. It marks the first time since 2013 that the United Kingdom market has received a dedicated allocation from this brand. Because production is strictly limited to just 5,000 numbered Slide Lid Boxes (SLB) of 25, a global total of only 125,000 individual cigars exists. As a result, this release has instantly become a prime target for international cigar collectors seeking a rare and secure addition to their humidor.

Construction and Appearance

Boasting an elegant and classic Lonsdale format, the cigar measures 6 ½ inches (165 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge. Experienced cigar enthusiasts will immediately notice the smooth, light-tan wrapper leaf with a subtle oil sheen and minimal veins. Unlike the everyday mixed-filler line, every single Selectos No.3 is rolled entirely by hand using 100% long-filler tobacco (tripa larga) sourced exclusively from the world-renowned Vuelta Abajo zone. It proudly wears the iconic secondary red and silver band that sets regional releases apart.

Aroma, Draw and Burn

Before lighting, the foot of the cigar releases a wonderful aroma of fresh barnyard grass, light cedar, and delicate floral sweetness. The cold draw provides the perfect amount of resistance, opening up beautifully once toasted. Throughout the 45 to 60-minute smoking time, the burn line stays razor-sharp and leaves behind a solid, light-grey ash. The smoke texture is silky, smooth, and impressively aromatic.

Flavour and Tasting Experience

The flavor profile delivers a masterclass in classic light-to-medium strength Cuban complexity.
• The First Third: Opens with a vibrant burst of crisp floral notes, bright citrus freshness, and an underlying tone of light cedar.
• The Second Third: The profile evolves naturally, introducing a delicate sweetness and rich nuttiness. Meanwhile, our Asian clientele will note how beautifully this mid-section pairs with high-end green teas or light, unpeated spirits.
• The Final Third: A subtle, rounded herbal freshness and a dash of spice take center stage without ever becoming bitter or harsh.
While our European/UK client base appreciates this lighter complexity for an elegant morning smoke, our American clientele—who are often accustomed to heavy Nicaraguan blends—will thoroughly enjoy this cigar as a refined, contrasting palate cleanser. Overall, it offers a remarkably balanced, elegant, and nostalgic premium smoking experience.

Frequently Asked Questions


Is the La Flor de Cano Selectos No.3 a long-filler cigar?

Yes. Unlike the standard La Flor de Cano portfolio, which historically utilises short-filler (tripa corta) or mixed-filler tobacco, the Selectos No.3 UK Regional Edition is entirely handmade using 100% long-filler (tripa larga) tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region. This makes it a highly premium offering for the brand.

How many boxes of the La Flor de Cano Selectos No.3 were made?

This is a strictly limited Regional Edition production. Only 5,000 numbered Slide Lid Boxes (SLB) of 25 were produced, totaling 125,000 individual cigars worldwide. Because of this small production run, they are highly sought after by global collectors.

What are the dimensions and vitola of the Selectos No.3?

The Selectos No.3 is rolled in the iconic Cervantes vitola (commonly referred to as a Lonsdale). It measures 6 ½ inches (165 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge. It provides an elegant, classic smoking experience that lasts roughly 45 to 60 minutes.

Why do some Regional Editions arrive late in stores?

The Edición Regional program allows distributors around the world to select one unique cigar size for their market each year. However, production timelines often mean that the cigars arrive at stores multiple years later. For example, the Selectos No.3 was part of the 2022 class but was released to the market later.
