Mombacho Cigars

Mombacho cigars was founded in 2006 by Cameron Heaps, a Canadian businessman and world traveler who fell in love with the City of Granada in Nicaragua, its people, culture, cigars, and Mombacho, the volcano that overlooks this historical city. In 2011, to help him with his new venture, Heaps enlisted Claudio Sgroi, an Italian educator turned master blender under the mentorship of Hendrik “Henke” Kelner, Davidoff’s chief cigarmaker. Mombacho cigars are handmade in Nicaragua using traditional rolling methods. They are noted for their superb construction, rich aroma, and complexity of flavors.

Mombacho Liga Maestro

No stranger to producing a satisfying puro, the Mombacho Liga Maestro is the boutique brand's latest entry into the premium cigar market, showcasing a gourmet blend that will quench the palates of even the most particular aficionado. Named after a volcano in Nicaragua, Mombacho was founded by Cameron Heaps and Markus Raty in 2006, and set out to produce excellent traditional-style cigars amidst a crowded market full of, ahem, ambitious smokes that may have drifted too far from the original vision. Featuring a Jalapa Habano Shade wrapper on top of a Nicaraguan Criollo binder and a rich mix of Nicaraguan fillers from Condega and Jalapa, this medium-bodied delight is complex yet smooth, and will impress smokers everywhere with its expert construction and balanced flavor.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

Wrapper
Sungrown
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Sungrown cigar wrappers come from tobacco plants that are grown directly under the sun without the use of man made tents to give shade as in Shade grown wrappers.

Sungrown wrappers can be appreciated for their rich taste and sweet undertones.
