Favilli S.A. (formerly Mombacho Cigars) has introduced the most recent edition of their limited Cosecha line, Cosecha 2016. Like previous installments, the box comes with 10 cigars in a Toro vitola, measuring 6 x 52. As the name suggests, the blend was creating using tobaccos harvested in the year 2016. The blend is, as always, a Nicaraguan puro.
Mombacho Cigars announced today the worldwide shipment of its Casa Favilli Series. It had shipped a small amount of the cigar back in November of last year to the USA and Switzerland, but this is the full global shipment.
The annual "Cosecha" release from Mombacho is being shipped to the United States, Europe, and Canada after a 7 week delay from Nicaraguan turmoil. The Coescha 2013 is the second of Mombacho Cigar's annual release which is a true vintage release, meaning the tobaco in these cigars is from the year 2013 and the cigars were actually rolled 4 years ago and have been aging.

Imagine a car enthusiast having an opportunity to tour the Ferrari factory in Maranello, or someone who is a collector of fine watches going to visit Patek Philippe in Geneva. The chance to actually see your favorite products being constructed by hand can be a real treat for the senses, and it can also give a heightened respect for the work that goes into creating these items that we love so much. For premium cigar lovers the products that we consume are some of the most artfully and painstakingly crafted products in the world. Still, so many cigar lovers still don't have the first-hand experience of seeing what goes into growing fine tobacco and crafting great cigars. During Puro Sabor 2018 I was able to visit a number of cigar factories, large and small. In this second article of the series about the festival I will take you through these factories in the same order that I visited them.
