Quick Smoke: MBombay Mora 585

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

MBombay has made an impression on the cigar world in its brief existence. This Mora vitola (5 x 58) comes in canisters and sports a regular-sized band without the firm’s large overwrap. Like other MBombay cigars, these are rolled in Costa Rica. The wrapper is a lovely Dominican leaf with an Ecuadorian binder and filler from Ecuador, Peru, and the Dominican. They combine for a spicy smoke with citrus overtones and a smooth floral note somewhat reminiscent of medium-strength Cuban smokes. Well worth a try at about $14.

Verdict = Buy.
