IPCPR 2017: MBombay
The MBombay booth is 100 percent bigger this year, but the company had only one new product for IPCPR 2017.
That product is an addition to the company’s natural Gaaja line in the form of a 5 x 54 Robusto, which joins the original Toro Gordo (6 x 54) and the Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54) that were released in February.

The new vitola is packaged in boxes of 14 and is scheduled to be released by the end of the month.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
