Mango (or cigar) is an 8-cell still life. It is the twelfth most common still life, being less common than bi-loaf 1 but more common than eater 1.[1]

The mango can be considered the long long version of the beehive. Continuing the series further is however not possible, as a new cell would be born between the two diagonal walls.

Either or both of the mango's "noses" can be replaced with four-cell "feet", which leads to the 11 loop and the sidewalk.
