Black Label Trading Co Orthodox

It is time. One of the highlights of the PCA trade show is finally shipping out to retailers and soon arriving at Oak Glen Tobacconist. One of my favorite brands from Oveja Negra has crafted an intense, San Andres Maduro like no other! Introducing the Black Label Trading Orthodox. This cigar represents so much about what the brand is about! While I have loved the various inflections of Black Label and Black Works Studio from blends like Paper Crane, Poison Dart, S&R, and many others, Orthodox is the ultimate reminder of why people fall in love with the brand in the first place. BLTC Orthodox full, it’s bold, heavy, but at the same time, somehow refined and balanced. In a recent Press Release, James Brown, Owner and Blender, stated the following:

“Orthodox is really about Black Label getting back to its roots.” Says James. “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, and raisins and finishes with star anise. This cigar is bold but very balanced and extremely complex.”

Released in 20 count boxes, the new limited cigar is produced in three different sizes.

The blend consists of a dark Mexican San Andres Wrapper, over the signature Ecuadorian binder, and a combination of Nicaraguan fillers. I had the opportunity to try this cigar at the trade show and absolutely loved it. As I said, this is the cigar you want to smoke from Black Label. The flavor intensity of the spicy, peppery start molds into a robust array of that raisiny, dried fruit palate that James talked about along with cocoa powder, hints of wood, leather, and mellow sweetness.
