Here’s another news item, this one from Black Label Trading. This is one I haven’t smoked from them, which, honestly, isn’t saying a lot as there is a great deal of the BLTC stuff I haven’t sampled. I love what I do smoke, I just haven’t dug deep into the catalog for whatever reason. Not much excuse as a couple shops within 10 miles in a couple directions have a good selection. It’s something to work on…
Black Label Trading Company (BLTC) is releasing VIATICUM in three vitolas to select retailers this month. Viaticum is hand crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.
VIATICUM is a small batch release that was originally released in one vitola in 2019 to retailers who attended the PCA trade show. This is the second and full release made available to all BLTC retailers.
“Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend and a testament to what Black Label Trading Co is all about. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s the perfect balance between strength and complexity. This cigar is bold but also very refined. It’s all about balance. The dark fruit and earth flavors are wrapped in soft floral notes and elevated with a multitude of spice on the finish,” says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
