Though they’re a very young brand in the market, Black Label Trading Co. has become a mainstay for fans of boutique cigars. Handmade in the Oveja Negra cigar factory by brand owner James Brown, these blends stand up to the best on the market. That’s due to Brown’s blending philosophy. He says, “I believe every cigar has its own personality and story.” And with his core blends, he wants to make sure the Black Label story is told.

While the white box and band present as a mellower blend, Royalty falls closer to medium-bodied. Inside the cigar, you’ll find Nicaraguan filler and Honduran binder under an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper leaf. Lighting up, notes of cinnamon spice, coffee, pepper, and slight hints of chocolate mingle together beautifully. If you’re looking for an entry point into the Black Label Trading Co. brand, this is the perfect start.
