Black Label Trading Company Triforium OGT Exclusive Is The Oak Glen Tobacconist Cigar Of The Year 2026!

It is official; OGT Cigars’ Top cigar of the year for 2026, voted on by the community, is our 6th Anniversary exclusive, the Black Label Trading Company Triforium. I am so pleased with the outcome of this year’s voting. I am not surprised by the response this single cigar got. Black Label is a fantastic company that makes some of OGT Cigar’s favorite blends. Triforium was made to order. Each year, our community votes on their top three picks. This year, we had the highest voter turnout ever! Typically, the cigars that get the top four slots are pretty close in votes, not this year, however. Triforium won all other competitors by nearly fifty points!

Where did this cigar begin? Believe it or not, I had been trying to do an exclusive with Black Label since 2022! That’s when we first reached out; however, it just wasn’t the right time. Each year, I had submitted a request as we grew as a company. Then, in 2024, James and Angela Brown visited our original shop in CA for an event, and at the conclusion of the event, we confirmed a project to be released as our 6th-anniversary cigar in 2025. That project is now our Cigar of the Year 2025 winner! I first sampled it at the 2025 PCA Trade Show earlier this year and instantly fell in love with it. I was very happy with the cigar; I smoked two of them back-to-back at an industry party, not wanting to try anything else.

Wrapped in a dark and oily Ecuadorian Habano Maduro, the Black Label Trading Company Triforium combines an Ecuadorian binder with fillers sourced from three of Nicaragua’s most celebrated growing regions: Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí. The result is a complex flavor journey. An initial burst of intense pepper greets the palate, soon giving way to nuanced notes of floral, anise, and dried fruits. As the cigar develops, rich layers of espresso, dark chocolate, leather, and a touch of natural sweetness emerge, creating a profile that is both bold and balanced.

According to James Brown, Co-Owner and blender for Oveja Negra Brands, he wrote in a press release: “I’m honored to be making the Anniversary Cigar for Oak Glen Tobacconist. They have been great supporters of all things Oveja Negra from the start. The Triforium is rich, dark and elegant. This cigar is all about balance. The earthy, dark fruit notes are highlighted by a subtle floral aroma. The long finish is a beautiful mix of bittersweet cocoa and mild peppery spice.”

Unfortunately, like all OGT Cigar Society projects, Triforium is a limited Edition, and while it is currently in stock, we are down to our final numbers. This is the time to try it or stock up while it is available. It will take its place among the top cigars of Oak Glen Tobacconist, voted on through the years! Thank you all for your participation and for helping cement such an iconic cigar in the Oak Glen Tobacconist cigar journey as one of the best we have ever had available in the OGT Humidor.
