The name Selectos No.3 was chosen in recognition of the Flor de Cano’s brand development. The original Selectos was machine made. Later it became handmade but with short-filler tobacco before being discontinued at the turn of the millennium. So, the third Selectos No.3, handmade with long filler, was deemed a suitable designation. Serendipitously, it is also the third UK Regional Edition from the brand.

The cigars have all been rolled at El Caney factory of Santiago de Cuba, in the east of the island, under the supervision of La Corona factory (which has been headquarter of the brand since 2010 and guarantees the consistency of the blend). 125,000 cigars have been produced and are presented in 5,000 cabinet boxes (SLBs) of 25. The boxes are all hot stamped with the instantly recognisable green ink and each cigar is dressed with a unique band printed with the size name.
The Selectos No.3 is a Cervantes size, often known as a Lonsdale. It is said that Rafael Gonzalez was commissioned to create the first ‘Lonsdale’ cigar by the fifth Earl of Lonsdale, Hugh Cecil Lowther (1857–1944). The famous English sporting Earl and cigar aficionado asked for a Corona cigar, but with a little extra length. The size became extremely popular and many other brands reproduced it, often even using the Lonsdale name.
Despite well over half the 27 Habanos brands having once made a Cervantes sized cigar, only one remains today, the medium to full bodied Montecristo No.1. A pleasure to smoke now, they also exhibit many of the same characteristics that they will age with all the grace and refinement of their illustrious predecessors.
