The Black Works Studio brand was established in late 2015 by Fabrica Oveja Negra as new creative avenue to complement the existing Black Label Trading Company brand. “As a cigar maker and artist, I am always working on new blends and expressions of art. These new blends have been in the works for a while, and I did not want to miss the opportunity to release them to the public. I will find ways to continue to be creative in my craft going forward and won’t be deterred by the FDA regulations,” commented James Brown, creator of BLK WKS and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra in a press release.

“Each of these new blends is very unique. S&R is an elegant smoke with refined flavors, highlighting the blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.
