March 19, 2024 By Nicole Tabacco

Black Label Trading Co (BLTC) will be showcasing a new release at this year’s PCA in Las Vegas; Orthodox. Hand crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua. Orthodox is a small batch release offered to retailers attending the PCA tradeshow this year. It will be first come first serve and begin shipping at the end of April.

“Orthodox is really about Black Label getting back to its roots. We’ve done a lot over the last 10 years but at our core we are about highlighting the strength & intensity of Nicaraguan tobacco. That’s what I went for with the Orthodox. It’s extremely bold with spice throughout the palate and nose. Its intensity is balanced by flavors of dark fruits, cherries, raisins and finishes with star anise. This cigar is bold but very balanced and extremely complex,” says James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co./Black
Works Studio and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
