I have just received the news that the popular cigar brand MOMBACHO is apparently no longer being produced. The press release is not clear to me and it is not clear if the owners are pulling out or if the brand will no longer be produced. I have reached out to Jared Michaeli (president and co-founder of Mombacho). I have not yet received a response. Below is the press release (translated) and in the original English. In any case, there are no more cigars on the Favilli (Mombacho) website, except for a slider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Addendum from 10\/06\/2023 \/ Jared Michaeli replied: \u201eMombacho has not been in production for over a year and a half.\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yoast-reading-time__wrapper\"><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__icon\"><\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__descriptive-text\">Estimated reading time:  <\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__reading-time\">6<\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__time-unit\"> minutes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#titel-1\" data-level=\"2\">Mombacho Cigars, the media release, translated<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-original-in-englisch-mombacho-cigars\" data-level=\"2\">Original in English, Mombacho Cigars<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ressourcen-zum-thema\" data-level=\"2\">Resources on the topic<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"titel-1\">Mombacho Cigars, the media release, translated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">09 June 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">To our wonderful and distinguished clientele, friends, family, partners and supporters: When Mombacho was founded in 2006 by backpackers enthralled by the beauty of Nicaragua, you could not have imagined that a nearly two-decade adventure would turn into such a life experience on the summit of Mombacho Volcano with a cigar in hand. You have had this experience with us by supporting our brands and ideas at three locations in Granada, Nicaragua, and every time you have chosen one of our products to spend time with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">When we purchased Favilli Mansion in 2014, we knew that our goal was to grow and compete on the global stage as a luxury producer of fine, handcrafted cigars. Favilli Mansion was the place where we could bring this vision to life and allow travellers and consumers from around the world to experience the beauty of Nicaragua through one of its finest treasures, the cigar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In 2021, we best understood that what you were supporting and what we had been working towards was overdue to be showcased in a way that would bring recognition and attention to our production, Granada and Nicaragua on the world stage. We renovated the international landmark, the Favilli Mansion, and opened to the world one of Central America's most luxurious experiential venues, featuring four floors of cocktail bars, cigars, event spaces and a huge hall, cigars, event spaces and understated elegance in the gilded Favilli Mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We have announced our withdrawal from the cigar industry and luxury hospitality in 2023. We understand that this may come as a surprise to our customers and the cigar industry in general, but as a conglomerate of cigar and hospitality professionals, we have collectively decided to move on to the next stage of life and adventure. We would therefore like to thank all our customers, friends and family members who have shared this vision and time with us. We can't say goodbye, as our paths may cross again in this small world, but we say goodbye to you for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We know that a part of our hearts is deeply rooted in Mombacho and Favilli and that everyone who has been involved holds the memories and experiences we have all shared on this journey close to their hearts. On behalf of Granada, the entire founding team, factory staff, hospitality employees, investors, partners and friends of Mombacho and Favilli, we would like to thank and appreciate each and every one of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Yours sincerely from the operating partners<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Cameron Heaos, Founder of Mombacho Cigars S.A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Jared Michaeli, President &amp; Co-founder of Favilli<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-original-in-englisch-mombacho-cigars\">Original in English, Mombacho Cigars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">June 9th 2023<br>To our wonderful &amp; distinguished clientele, friends, family, partners, &amp; supporters: In 2006, when Mombacho was founded by backpackers enamoured by Nicaragua's beauty, one could not have imagined that while on the top of Volcano Mombacho with cigar in hand, an adventure of nearly two decades would turn into such a lifetime experience.
