Black Works Studio Ambush Trio, Neon Tiger, Khan, and Tiger Lily

It’s a rare thing to see one of Black Works Studio Ambush Tigers out in the wild; that’s why at Oak Glen Tobacconist we always call it a Neon Tiger sighting! Black Label Trading Company and Black Works Studio have made art a staple of their cigar-making. Produced at the Oveja Negra factory in Nicaragua, the Ambush Series comprises three blends: Black Works Studio Neon Tiger, Black Works Studio Khan, and Black Works Studio Tiger Lily. All three barber poles demonstrate the brand’s superior blending style and visual excellence. However, to say these cigars are limited would be an understatement; if you do have a Neon Tiger sighting, it is usually for the briefest of moments, and I encourage you not to sleep on them!

Each Barber Pole Cigar in the BLK WKS Ambush features three types of tobacco on the outer wrapper: Maduro, Connecticut, and Candela. However, each blend uses one of the three more prominently than the other. While these three blends are artfully crafted, there is a noticeable difference in flavor and experience!

The Black Works Studio Tiger Lily is more Connecticut-based and a touch longer than the other two. It has distinct ginger ale notes, along with a touch of pepper spice, creaminess, nuttiness, and light sweetness. The Black Works Studio Neon Tiger uses the vibrant green Candela leaf as the main flavor point. Neon Tiger offers a smooth, creamy balance with matcha tea, a hint of pepper, crème brûlée, and light sweetness. Finally, the strongest of the three, the Black Works Studio Khan, is more Maduro-forward. The Khan is more classic Black Works but an elevated version with pepper up front, dark chocolate, oak, savoriness, and a sweet finish.

Here at Oak Glen Tobacconist, these three limited blends are among our favorites. They demonstrate James Brown’s ability to blend and be creative in the cigar world. They also showcase the individuality of the Oveja Negra factory in Nicaragua. As part of raising the stakes in our ‘Tiger Sightings’, we have added some gems to it! Gems like the NEW Black Label Trading Company Macabre, the Morphine Lancero, the NEW Rorschach Toro, Super Deluxe Petite Corona, and more! But that’s not all; two posters accompany this lineup. Don’t miss the most recent Black Works Studio Ambush Tiger sighting! It’s a brilliant collection and one of our favorites to offer!
