The first time around, this amazing collection sold out waaaaay too fast, but it’s back one last time!
Black Works Studio has been the company to draw attention for continuously challenging the norm, and the Five Temples – Seven Fists of Shaolin is a perfect example of why! It is a 24-count collector’s release that is highly regarded as one of the most artistically and ambitiously conceived projects that the brand has produced. The brand, which is primarily known for its flavor innovation and striking presentation, has gone above and beyond in this case. They have come up with a work that is a perfect combination of skill, storytelling, and imagination, and it, therefore, quite rightly, reminds one of a great martial arts movie but made out of cigars.
The whole collection came into being as a result of the Killer Bee line’s success and turning point. For a long time, James Brown has had an idea for a series that could, both inside and out, depict the characters of a Shaolin chain of thought, such as its discipline, strength, and art, and then convey these concepts in the form of tobacco. Using a different wrapper for each, to not only provide a distinct concept of taste but also of craftsmanship and art. It is, therefore, a release that not only respects the old but is also ready to break the rules.
James Brown of Black Label Trading Company and Black Works Studio says, “This collection is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve been rolling various blends in this pyramid size for the last 12 years for myself. It’s finally time to do a production release. The vibe I wanted was an old-school Kung Fu movie, and The Five Temples – Seven Star Fist of Shaolin definitely has that feel. The concept was to create a collection that not only introduces a new vitola for the Bees & Hornets, but also showcases different wrappers. Each cigar is a unique representation of the blends, and the pyramid shape symbolizes the form of a Shaolin temple. The icing on top of all that is the two new versions of the Shaolin. Overall, I think this is the most exciting collection we’ve done for BLK WKS. For anyone who’s a fan of the Killer Bee and Green Hornet, this is a must-have!”
The 24 cigars in this extraordinary collector’s box are the epitome of perfectly blended tobaccos by Black Works Studio. The box contains one cigar of each of the four most important variants of the Killer Bee and Green Hornet lines, i.e., Killer Bee Sumatra, Killer Bee Connecticut, Killer Bee Connecticut Broadleaf, and Hornet Pennsylvania Broadleaf, Hornet San Andrés, respectively, with two rare Shaolin Candela/Maduro, and two Habano/Maduro Belicoso cigars completing the collection.
The Five Temples – Seven Fist of Shaolin Box is more than just another box of cigars—it exemplifies collectors’ aspirations. Each cigar is a reflection of inventive and meticulous work, thereby capturing the creative arts that are the hallmark of Black Works Studio Cigars. The box is meant for the likes of those fans who have loyally followed the Killer Bee and Green Hornet lines over the years, or if you happen to be in quest of something that is beyond the ordinary, then this is the box that is meant for you. It is of utmost importance to note that, with extremely limited availability, such a set as this will not spare a moment to give the idea a thought. Right now, Oak Glen Tobacconist has just received the final shipment – don’t miss it!
