Bishops Blend Robusto 2022 by Black Label Trading Co.

Each year Black Label Trading Company and Black Works Studios release several limited editions featuring an array of different tobaccos. At the beginning of 2022, Overja Negra released the new Intergalactic Sumatra, the Memento Mori Pennsylvania Broadleaf, and the Hyena Cameroon. Each blend is unique; however, the LE I perhaps look forward to the most is the Black Label Trading Bishops Blend. Released in three different sizes, the Bishops Blend is offered in a 5×48 Robusto, a 6.25×46 Corona large, and 7×42 Lancero. Jamer Brown of Black Label Trading Co. released this statement:

“We are very excited about this highly anticipated release. This is the seventh release of Bishops Blend and continues to be one of our most sought-after, limited annual releases. Bishops Blend boasts big bold flavors of anise, pepper, raisins, and a sweet earthiness on the finish. It is very complex and extremely refined. As with the past vintages, the broadleaf fillers shine at the forefront and are perfectly balanced by the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.”

I remember when I tasted this cigar for the first time. Sitting in the lounge, I was transported by distinct flavors of a dark chocolate browny, covered in raspberry syrup, sitting on a cedar slab. Granted, that is not what everyone is going to get out of the Bishops Blend Cigar, however, this blend widely impressed me. Using a dark, oily Ecuadorian Maduro Wrapper over an Ecuadorian Habano binder, and fillers that include Connecticut, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvania broadleaf, this cigar delivers in flavor and strength. Black Label Trading Bishops Blend is shipping now, but unfortunately, they have a tendency to go quick.
