Maya Selva Cigars wins prestigious Travel Retail Exclusive Award for innovative Villa Zamorano Reserva Cigar-Can

Paris, France — June 30, 2026 — Maya Selva Cigars has been officially awarded the TREX (Travel Retail Exclusive Awards) accolade for its ingenious Villa Zamorano Reserva Cigar-Can. The award recognizes outstanding innovation, functionality, and a complete structural rethink of how premium handmade cigars are presented to global travelers.

The award-winning packaging features a five-cigar sampler presented in a fully functional, reusable aluminum canister. Moving away from passive cardboard or wood, the Cigar-Can serves as a humidity control system within a sealed cylindrical container, and as a compact travel humidor. Additionally, the lid is designed to double as a portable ashtray, transforming the packaging into a practical, multi-use smoking accessory.

"We are honored by this recognition from the judges," said Maya Selva, Founder of Maya Selva Cigars. "The Cigar-Can was designed specifically for travelers seeking both practicality and a special experience. This award validates our team's effort to create a product that is portable, protective, and highly experiential, while remaining dedicated to environmental responsibility."

The 5-cigar sampler includes Expreso, Robusto, El Gordo, No.15, and Soberano, offering a comprehensive introduction to the Villa Zamorano Reserva line. Optimized for mobility, impulse purchases, and gifting, the design was highly praised by the judging panel. Experts called the design "brilliantly innovative," highlighting how it reduces single-use packaging waste through its reusable aluminum structure while preventing product deterioration.

The Villa Zamorano Reserva Cigar-Can is currently available across select global travel retail locations and duty-free shops.
