News: Black Label Trading Company Releases Viaticum

Here’s another news item, this one from Black Label Trading.  This is one I haven’t sm
oked 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 a
s 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.

News: Joya de Nicaragua Launches TAA Retailer Exclusive Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana

I got behind on some news items this week , so I’m going to post a few on this rainy Saturday. This is one from Joya. This is one of my favorite blends from them. Typically TAA exclusives aren’t all that exciting to me, but this one has potential. I’m to understand that only 5000 cigars are being made available in this release. I’m going to have to get my hands on a few.  

Since its founding in 1968 as the first premium cigar company in Nicaragua, Joya de Nicaragua has enjoyed strong ties with American cigar lovers and their retailers. During the administration of Richard M. Nixon, Joya de Nicaragua’s Clásico was even the official cigar distributed to guests attending functions at the White House. In 2021, the United States continues to be one of Joya de Nicaragua’s most important markets and the company is celebrating its strong ties to America by releasing Cuatro Cinco Edición Americana, the second regional edition of its legendary Cuatro Cinco cigars, which will be available exclusively at Tobacconist Association of America (TAA) member retailers.… Continue reading »

Tatuaje T110 Limited Edition Broadleaf and Sumatra and a Southern Draw Lady Killer

I wasn’t even going to write about the Southern Draw Lady Killer, but I had a special request, so I figured what the heck. I had stopped in to Cigar Mojo on Sunday to buy some cigars I didn’t need. I had been looking for some Illusione CG:4 White Horse for the Diner en Blanc because of the whole white thing, I like to smoke something with “white” in the name of the cigar, and they had gotten some in, so I felt obligated to go buy some for next year. Now I have to remember I have them next year! Anyway, as I was checking out I spied the last two Southern Draw Lady Killers by the register and picked them up.… Continue reading »

Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata at the Humidour on the Hill

Yesterday I found myself in Cockeysville, Maryland so I stopped in the Humidour Cigar Shoppe on the Hill for
a cigar or two. This is not my first visit, I was there six years ago and spent an afternoon there. As a matter of fact, last night when I got home, I smoked a Zorba corona that I had gotten there six years ago. They have three exclusive cigars that are made by Rocky Patel, the Zorba, the Zeus and the Bella Carmella.… Continue reading »
