Black Works Studio NBK Corona Larga Habano

Welcome to a natural-born killer —or at least the Black Works Studio NBK Habano. Black Works Studio cigars are the portfolio from Oveja Negra Brands that expresses the ‘wild side,’ the artistic, animalistic side of cigars. Not to be confused with the event-only, limited-edition NBK Lizard King, the NBK Habano is the original. This is a core-line blend that makes up a portion of the full Black Works Studio Cigars portfolio. In the OGT Community, the NBK may not always be in the spotlight as much as the popular Black Label Last Rites, Black Works, Killer Bee, or even Hornet, but it definitely deserves the limelight!

Black Works Studio NBK is wrapped in a beautiful Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. It is available in two sizes: a 6×46 Corona Larga and a 5×50 Robusto, both in glorious box-pressed formats and packaged in 20-count boxes. Several things come to mind when considering the Black Works NBK: flavor bomb and creativity. In terms of the artistic side, everything from the label to the cigar itself is striking. The label features bold lettering of NBK (standing for Natural Born Killer) on the front, and on the back, an eye-catching depiction of a raging sabertooth. The cigar is beautifully wrapped with a dark, oily wrapper and finished with a closed foot. First light brings a blast of the rich Oscuro wrapper.

The flavor is characterized by its aggressiveness and seamless balance. As stated, the blast of wrapper leaf is rich with dark earth, pepper, and cinnamon sweetness. The cigar boasts further notes of black pepper, cocoa, clove, baking spices, earthy undertones, light cinnamon, toasted nuts, leather, and a lingering sweet finish. It’s a complex whirlwind of flavor and strength that makes up the backbone of Black Works Studios cigars.

NBK is available at Oak Glen Tobacconist and is also being featured in the November box for the OGT Variety Club. The club is designed to introduce and revisit our favorite blends for all members nationwide. I am thrilled to include this gem in the box. It is a perfect cigar for the turning of the leaves, the colder weather that is sweeping in, and an all-around BANGER of a cigar. Don’t miss Black Works Studio NBK Habano Oscuro.
