Patina Connecticut Cigars by Mombacho New from Mombacho Cigars S.A.’s Casa Favilli factory in Grenada, Nicaragua. Patina Cigars is the creation of Mo Maali, Mombacho’s recently appointed national sales manager. The Patina cigar line is currently available in two blends a Connecticut and Habano. According to Mo Maali; “Patina is an oxidation process that, over time, produces a green film over bronze or copper,” referring to what people might be familiar with seeing on statues or buildings. “In the same spirit, our experiences in life shape our opinions, attitudes and beliefs. Just as those buildings underneath the patina retain their original character, we too as human beings will always be ourselves at our core. No matter what happens in life, always be true to yourself,” he added. The Patina Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania, and like many other modern Connecticut cigars, promises to change the idea of what a mild cigar should be. The cigars are packaged in 16 count boxes and available in four popular sizes.
