One of my favorite blends from Black Works Studio Cigars and Oveja Negra’s factory is the Black Works Studio Hornet Corona Larga. This perfectly balanced cigar is a standout, showcasing the bold, creative blending style the brand is known for. Crafted by James Brown of Black Label Trading Company and Black Works Studio, this cigar builds on the success of the popular Killer Bee line while bringing its own unique character to the table. Rolled in a sleek 6 x 46 corona Larga format, the Black Works Studio Hornet delivers a flavorful, full-bodied smoking experience with plenty of personality.
As mentioned, the Black Works Studio Hornet was developed as a follow-up to the widely loved Killer Bee cigar. The Killer Bee became a fan favorite thanks to its rich maduro profile and distinctive design. With the Hornet, Brown decided to push that concept further. The cigar features striking candela leaf accents at the cap and foot, creating a bold visual contrast against the darker wrapper. The Hornet also uses a closed foot design, which allows the candela leaf to influence the first few puffs before the rest of the blend takes over. The Corona Larga vitola extends the experience even further, giving the blend more room to evolve throughout the smoke.
The Black Works Studio Hornet Corona Larga starts off with a light, creamy sweetness from the candela foot that immediately sets it apart. As the burn moves into the body of the cigar, the profile shifts into deeper, richer flavors. Expect notes of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and earth, backed by a steady peppery spice. The combination of bold Nicaraguan tobacco and the subtle sweetness from the candela accent creates a layered flavor profile that keeps the smoke interesting from beginning to end.
If you enjoy boutique cigars with bold flavor and unique design, the Black Works Studio Hornet Corona Larga is a definite must-try. With its distinctive look, excellent construction, and rich flavor profile, it’s a perfect example of what makes Black Works Studio such a respected name among cigar enthusiasts. You can find the Black Works Studio Hornet available now at OGT Cigars.
