MBombay Adding MQBA Mayura
Bombay Tobak, the brand behind MBombay, has announced Mayura, a new extension for its MQBA line, which debuted at last year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.
While last year’s debut of the MQBA line was an Ecuadorian puro, this extension branches out the tobacco a bit. The line is still highlighted by an Ecuadorian-grown HVA wrapper and binder grown on the company’s farm, while the filler comes from Paraguay, Peru and Nicaragua. The cigars are produced at the Tabacos de Costa Rica factory.
The MQBA Mayura is being offered in a robusto (5 x 54)and toro (6 x 52) vitola, with 25,000 of each of the two sizes created. Both will be packed in glass tubes and packed into 24-count boxes. The company has not announced pricing, but it has confirmed that it will be on display at the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, with shipping scheduled to begin in November. Mel Shah has said that he is also looking at adding a corona and torpedo to the line in a future.
The word mayura means peacock in Sanskrit, and the company says that it has embraced the term as grace.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
