IPCPR 2018: MBombay

Although MBombay had just one new release to show off at its booth during this year’s IPCPR show, it had announced earlier in the year that its Classic Torpedo—which was originally released exclusively as part of a sampler in January—would begin shipping to retailers as a regular production option in August.

That one new product from MBombay was a unique single farm blend that is composed entirely of tobacco from a facility located in Ventana, Ecuador.

MBombay MQBA

The name of the new four vitola line is MQBA—pronounced em-kyoo-bha—and MBombay leases the 70-acre farm where the first crop of plants used in the cigars were planted in 2009. While all four sizes will be sold in 24-count boxes, the Diadema will be sold in gift packs of three, while the remaining vitolas will also be sold in packs of four.
