When James Brown started Black Label Trading cigars, he wanted to create cigars that were different and re-think cigar making. Brown and BLTC have release cigar after cigar that had stood out from the crowd and offered cigar enthusiasts unique blends that provide the perfect balance between strength and complexity. The Memento Mori is a cigar whose name translates as “remember you must die”, that serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death and that we must live each day to the fullest.

The brand started out as an exclusive release that was only available at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua. But luckily for the masses BLTC decided to do a limited production release available to shops in the U.S. According to James Brown the “Memento Mori is exactly what you envision when you think of a Black Label Trading Co. cigar.” “From its appearance to its flavor profile, this cigar is all about the darkness”. It features a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper with Ecuadorian Habano binder and Nicaraguan filler. The profile is what you would expect from BLTC bold and earthy with tasting notes of dried dark fruits, bitter cocoa, spice, white pepper, and cinnamon on the finish. The Memento Mori is a cigar that will help you live life to the fullest.
