News: Emilio Cigars Releases LJZ Limited Edition

Funny enough, last week when I went to the Black label event at Son’s, on a whim I wore an old Emilio Cigars polo that Gary Griffith had given me many years ago.  I never really had a good occasion to wear it where I wouldn’t be mistaken for a representative of the company. Anyway, I’m hoping Vince and Brian get these in at Son’s so I can give them a try! I’m going to go smoke another cigar from BLTC right now.

News: Black Works Studio Offers Hive Cigars at PCA Show

It’s Wednesday and I’ll be posting a couple news articles over the course of the evening again.  The first one here is from Black Label Trading Co., and I hope one of my local shops goes to the show and orders these.  We have some bees and they are pretty cool, so I’d love to get some of these cigars, besides the fact that I enjoy the BLTC cigars too. 

Black Works Studio (BLK WKS)will be showcasing a new release at this year’s PCA in Las Vegas. HIVE is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-served basis to BLTC/BLK WKS retailers attending PCA 2021. Shipping will commence in the fall.… Continue reading »

An Illusione HL Candela and Some Oveja Negra News

Yesterday I smoked another cigar that I bought from Scotty’s Cigars, an Illusione ~hl~ Candela.  This is a 7 ½” x 40 Lancero with a pigtail cap and a bright green candela wrapper. It’s a Nicaraguan puro made in Honduras apparently. I’ve smoked the ~hl~ in Maduro and loved it. First I’ll say that I need to smoke more Illusione cigars, I don’t frequent the local stores that have a good selection of them, enough. I love smoking them when I pick them up, and I love listening to Dion any chance I get.  I need to sample more of the lines.… Continue reading »

News: Black Works Studio Announces the Release of S&R

Here’s some news from Black Works Studio. This looks interesting, I enjoy most of what I’ve smoked out of Oveja Negra, and I love Sumatra wrappers, so this interests me. I’m not opposed to Lanceros and Corona Gordas either, and a Culebra sounds interesting, especially if I can find two friends to smoke it with! 

Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of S&R: Hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.  S&R will be available at select BLK WKS retailers for a limited time.… Continue reading »
