Description
Cosecha 2015
The Spanish word “Cosecha” translates to “harvest” or “Yield” in English. The chosen name reflects the genuine nature of this line, which features the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos from a single harvest year. In this first release of a limited edition Mombacho Cigar, evoking the concept of “Vintages” from the wine world, Claudio Sgroi, the Master Blender started with the 2012 Vintage and every year a Cosecha will be released only if the tobaccos from that harvest are of the highest quality.

Master Blender’s Notes
Claudio Sgroi – Mombacho Master Blender
When assessing the potential for any new Cosecha Vintage, I first determine the conditions, yields and specific qualities of that year’s Tobacco crop in Nicaragua. In 2015, I discovered an excellent and Cosecha worthy crop, albeit with a stronger tobacco than recent years, so I identified and worked with this characteristic allowing for the strongest Cosecha Vintage history.
The primary challenge was blending a stronger, yet beautifully balanced Cosecha Cigar. This required an adjustment in Jalapa tobaccos to help smooth and offset the power, yet still providing a very pleasant full-bodied blend without sacrificing the complexity of its flavors.
Blending any Mombacho Cigar involves identifying & leveraging the unique cha racteristics of each crop, then highlighting the soul and profile of each Tobacco in the blend. This makes for an extremely difficult task, but this is the true spirit of a Cosecha Vintage Cigar!
Cosecha 2015 is the strongest Cosecha Vintage to date witha full-bodied profile sharing notes of dark chocolate, hearth and subtle wood tones.
