MBombay Cigars has announced the return of its Mora line, introducing a pair of limited-production cigars that have quietly rested for six years after being rolled in 2019. Rather than rushing the cigars to market, MBombay made the unusual decision to allow the blend to mature until it reached the profile the company envisioned.
Produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica, the new Mora is an entirely new blend from the original 2014 release. It features:
- Wrapper – Mexican San Andrés
- Binder – Ecuadorian
- Fillers – Nicaragua, Honduras, and Pennsylvania
According to the company, the cigars were evaluated year after year, with each tasting confirming that additional aging continued to refine the blend.
The extended aging was driven largely by the character of the San Andrés wrapper. While naturally rich and bold, the leaf is known for evolving over time as its sharper edges mellow and its deeper nuances emerge. MBombay says the blend simply was not ready for release until now, choosing patience over production schedules.
The result is a cigar designed to showcase complexity rather than raw strength. MBombay describes the smoking experience as opening with notes of cocoa and earth before transitioning into pepper and cedar, accented by a subtle thread of orange citrus and finishing with a long, refined finish. Rather than targeting smokers looking for overpowering intensity, the company says Mora was crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate evolving flavor transitions and the nuances that extended aging can provide.
The 2026 MBombay Mora will be offered in two limited-production vitolas:
- Robusto – 5 x 54
- MSRP: $19.95
- 10-count boxes
- Limited to 2,768 boxes
- Toro – 6½ x 54
- MSRP: $21.95
- 10-count boxes
- Limited to 2,764 boxes
With fewer than 2,800 boxes produced in each size, availability will be limited. Since every cigar was rolled in 2019, no additional production from this vintage is possible.
The return of Mora reflects MBombay’s continued emphasis on small-batch production, careful tobacco selection, and allowing time—not marketing calendars—to determine when a cigar is ready. For smokers who enjoy the refined side of San Andrés tobacco and appreciate blends that reveal themselves gradually over the course of a smoking session, the new Mora represents a patient approach to cigar making that has become increasingly rare in today’s marketplace.
The MBombay Mora is shipping now to authorized retailers nationwide.
