All of the ones shown on the manufacturer's website do.

Sounds tasty, I'll be on the lookout for these next time I'm at the B&M.

Dumb name, great cigar.

My B&M has these...I may have to grab a few more.

These were strong as all hell when they first came out, but everything on the market now has been sitting around for awhile and the cigar loses its power and gains great refinement in 6 months or so.

I am going to have to agree with Greg that all of the Mombacho cigars I have smoked have the 2006 band on the bottom. (As do their Condega and Lempira cigars). Tropical produces damn fine cigars but they don't market at all, yet price the cigars as if they did. I think they did some factory shuffling after Ortega was elected and they shifted some production to Honduras; which has led to inconsistency in simple things like banding.

Checking out the website, it looks like their awesome Connecticut-Habano hybrid leaf is now being used on a new addition to their JFR line. This leaf used to be on their "Cuban Leaf" bundles which were sometimes long filler and sometimes mixed. It will be good having that wrapper on a boxed cigar, I need to find some!
