La Flor de Cano Cuban Cigars
Introduction
Created in 1884 by brothers Tomas and Jose Cano, La
Flor de Cano Cuban cigars are a limited-production brand
and thus, not very easy to find in spite of their huge demand. Nevertheless,
this range of handmade and machine-made cigars are ranked among
the best Cubans.
A small Havana brand made up of high quality, light-to-medium bodied
cigars, they feature excellent workmanship in the handmade sizes.
Their combustion is also very good, especially the Flor
de Cano Coronas cigars. Crafted with the best quality blend
of short-filler tobacco from Vuela Abajo, these vitolas have always
maintained a well balanced consistency in their production.
Flor de Canos are excellent for new cigar smokers, and are just
as suitable for a relaxing daytime smoke. However, they lack the
punch most aficionados appreciate from more traditional Havana
cigars.
The Flavors of La Flor de Cano Cigars
Flor de Cano cigars offer a good balance and holds its
own in terms of flavor. The typical Flor de Cano cigar has cedary,
nutty tones with a mild nuances of cocoa. The refined blend of tobacco
has given these Cuban cigars a very distinguished aroma.

and Flor de Cano Diademas are worth trying, especially for those
looking for an intermediary cigar before sampling something stronger
like the Cohiba Esplendido.
