In the year 2013, James Brown founded the Black Label Trading Company. One can say that brand was established with the philosophy “less is more” top of mind based on their portfolio. Due to their dedication to master craftmanship and meticulously handcrafted premium cigars, Black Label Trading Co (BLTC) has gained notoriety over the years. Present day it has grown to become one of the most sought-after brands in the world of the cigars. One of the most anticipated releases from the company, the Black Label Trading Co. Orthodox Limited Edition is a testament to the brand’s foundational standard and principles that put them on the map and helped to define the brand signature since the beginning. Labeled as a bold journey back to its roots and one of the boldest blends to date, James Brown’s innovative mind strikes yet again. For this line, the focal point was to hone in on the Nicaraguan tobacco elevating and accentuating its intensity and strength. The result is quite impressive as the creation is just as ostentatious as it is exquisite. Astute, the illustrious cigar facilitates all the perks during the manufacturing process as its carefully crafted in the prestigious Fábrica Oveja Negra, Nicaragua which is renowned for making some of the most admired, and impeccable blends in the industry. Thus, due to their rigorous standards, the creation supersedes expectations quelling all possible naysayers and even discerning enthusiasts. A powerhouse, at the heart is an all-Nicaraguan blend lying lush beneath an Ecuadorian Habano binder. Topping it off with conviction is a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper. Though this combination screams full-body intensity, fear not for the combination of notes are balancing propelling the cigar to all new heights. Intricate, from the first draw, smoker’s will be completely enthralled with evocative tones and an enriching flavor profile. Emanating notes of cherries, dark fruits, and raisins, the palate is rewarded with a harmonious sweet treat. Balance inducing is the persistent spicy taste bringing cause for intrigue. That overarching note leveling up the entire profile is brought on by star anise. Words cannot begin to express the journey of notes delivered by this full-bodied smoke. Daring, the flavor profile is not one for the faint of heart. However, you need not be leery for as brazen as the blend is, its somehow unbelievably balanced. We tend to hear quite often from cigar brands speaking on the level of complexity and balance, this premium stick truly reigns supreme. Overall the edition is a firm reminder as to why people are enamored with the brand in the first place. Debuting in 20 count boxes, the new line up of limited cigars is offered in three Vitola format. A Corona Gorda measuring in at 5 x 46, a Short Robusto 4.5 in length with a 52-ring gauge and a Toro with dimensions 5.75 x 50.
