Black Label Trading Company Eletto Short Robusto

I am very excited to announce the return of the Black Label Trading Company Eletto Short Robusto. First released last year as a limited run, the Black Label Eletto is a brilliant, dark maduro using a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. This cigar represents the long and impressive journey of Black Label Trading Co. Eletto delivers a rich, full-bodied experience that showcases the deep complexity of Nicaraguan tobacco and the fearless blending style Black Label is known for.

The name “Eletto,” meaning The Chosen One, was picked for a reason. James Brown, founder of Black Label Trading Company, created this cigar to be a tribute to the 10th anniversary of Fábrica Oveja Negra, the boutique factory behind all of Black Label’s blends. The Eletto Cigar represents the dedication and passion James has, showcasing what Black Label does best: bold flavors, striking presentation, and expertly curated tobacco. And on a personal favorite note, this new cigar uses one of my favorite tobaccos; a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper! I particulary enjoy what Oveja Negra does with this incredible leaf.

Eletto is wrapped in a dark, toothy Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, setting the stage for a bold profile right from the start. Underneath, you’ll find an Ecuadorian Habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua. The first few draws hit with bold pepper and spice before settling into layers of dark fruit, leather, cocoa, and a touch of star anise. When this cigar originally dropped, James Brown said, “The Eletto is bold with an intense retro and layers of complexity. Notes of dark fruit are followed by waves of spice and star anise. As the name implies, it is destined to be an instant classic.”

Black Label Trading Company Eletto Short Robusto has returned to Oak Glen Tobacconist. While this run is limited, similar to Super Deluxe or Intergalactic, it is unfortunately smaller, meaning there isn’t as much to go around. Whether you’re a longtime fan of James Brown’s work or just diving into the world of boutique cigars, Eletto is a must-try. Pick up a few and see why this one was truly chosen.
