The Cosecha series represents Mombacho’s commitment to showcasing Nicaragua’s finest tobacco vintages, following the wine industry’s tradition of celebrating exceptional harvest years. Master Blender Claudio Sgroi discovered that 2015 produced particularly powerful tobacco with extraordinary characteristics, requiring careful blending expertise to harness its strength while maintaining the sophisticated balance Cosecha enthusiasts expect. The result is the most robust expression in the series, yet one that maintains remarkable refinement.

From first light, this 6×52 Toro delivers waves of orange-rind citrus intertwined with natural tobacco sweetness and aromatic baker’s spice. The profile evolves throughout, introducing notes of dark cocoa, sweet cedar, aged leather, and a persistent white pepper that dances through the retrohale. The construction showcases Casa Favilli’s expertise, with each cigar featuring consistent draw, even burn, and thick, creamy smoke production that enhances the tasting experience.

What sets Cosecha 2015 apart is its authentic vintage character—these aren’t simply cigars made with aged tobacco, but rather complete cigars that have been aging intact for years, allowing the blend to marry and mature into something truly exceptional. The additional Jalapa leaf perfectly offsets the power of the stronger tobaccos, creating a full-bodied experience that remains approachable for seasoned aficionados seeking both strength and nuance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Cosecha 2015 a “true vintage” cigar?

Unlike cigars made with aged tobacco, Cosecha 2015 was rolled in 2017 using 2015 tobacco and has been aging as complete cigars ever since, allowing the blend to fully marry.

How does this compare to previous Cosecha releases?

Cosecha 2015 is the strongest release in the series, featuring more powerful tobacco than the 2012, 2013, or 2014 vintages while maintaining exceptional balance.

What flavors should I expect from this cigar?

Primary notes include orange rind, natural tobacco, baker’s spice, earth, black pepper, cedar, leather, and subtle cocoa, evolving throughout the smoking experience.

Why is this release so limited?

Only the finest tobaccos from the 2015 crop met the quality standards for Cosecha, and years of aging whole cigars requires significant warehouse space and investment.

Should I remove the pigtail or cut through it?

Either method works, though cutting straight through the pigtail and cap together provides a clean cut while preserving the traditional presentation.

How long does this cigar typically smoke?

The 6×52 Toro format provides approximately 75-90 minutes of smoking time, depending on your pace and smoking style.

Is this suitable for newer cigar smokers?

This full-bodied cigar is best enjoyed by experienced aficionados who can appreciate its strength and complexity. Consider starting with medium-bodied options first.

What makes the 2015 tobacco crop special?

The 2015 Nicaraguan harvest produced exceptionally strong yet flavorful tobacco with unique characteristics that Master Blender Claudio Sgroi deemed worthy of the Cosecha treatment.
