La Flor de Cano is one of the smaller Habanos brands, founded in Havana in 1884 by the brothers Tomas and Jose Cano. It has long been a connoisseur's name rather than a famous one, and in 2020 Habanos added the Elegidos, whose name means "The Chosen Ones". It uses a specially created 127 mm format called Lirios with a classic robusto ring gauge of 50.
