At the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show, Mombacho Cigars S.A. unveiled new packaging for its Liga Maestro line. 

The new boxes feature a matte black finish with a gold embossed Mombacho logo and have already begun shipping to retailers. It appears to also be designed to accommodate warning labels. The company also says the Tierra Volcán will be available with a similar box design later this year.

Liga Maestro started out as a collaboration between Mombacho President and Master Blender Claudio Sgroi and cigar luminary Stefano Bertin. Back in 2013, the line was released to the Italian cigar market. In 2015, Mombacho Cigars SA decided to bring the Liga Maestro line into the U.S. market for a limited run. With that limited launch a success, in 2016 Mombacho announced that the Liga Maestro line would become a regular offering.
