Last month word came down of a new brand developed by the folks behind Black Label Trading Company (BLTC) called Black Works Studio (BLK WKS). Today the company has announced the availability of its first three releases under this brand – NBK, Killer, and Rorschach.

Like the BLTC  brand, Black Works Studio will be produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.  Earlier this year, BLTC announced it was opening Fabrica Oveja Negra to be its own factory.

“I’m very excited to finally have these blends in the market, these have been my “go to” daily smokes for the last year. NBK & Killer Bee both walk the line between Medoi, /Full and Full in terms of strength. Flavor wise they are extremely rich with intense flavors of earth, malts and cocoa. The strength and body are very balanced with many subtle and elegant nuances. I chose to do a closed foot on both because it allows for the first draw of the cigar to highlight the intense flavor profile of the wrapper. This big blast of flavor sets the tone for the rest of the cigar,” said James Brown, creator of BLK WKS and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra in a press release.

NBK, Killer Bee, and Rorschach are three distinct blends. All three are produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua, and showcase Nicaraguan tobacco.  With Rorschach, Brown explained. “Rorschach started as our house cigar at the factory as its made up of a mix of all our different filler tobaccos. That’s the story behind the name, each batch is unique and up for interpretation, like a Rorschach image. It is a medium bodied cigar with a very unique and ever changing flavor profile,” continued Brown.
