Black Label Trading Company has announced details around the 2024 edition of Morphine, which marks the line’s tenth anniversary. For 2024, Morphine will be released in four sizes, including two that have never been released under the line.
“To celebrate 10 years of Morphine I wanted to do a mix of classic vitolas and a couple we’ve never done before. The classic Robusto and Lancero sizes are a Petite Perfecto and Box Pressed Toro. The idea behind the Perfecto was to create a vitola that represents the Death’s Head Moth’s chrysalis. The Toro shows how versatile the blend is and how well it works in a larger format vitola. This vitola is also being released in a ‘Dressed Box’ format. Each has the dual San Andrés and Ecuadorian Maduro wrappers. This vintage of Morphine is sure to be one of the best,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, in a press release.
Each of the four sizes comes in 20-count boxes. Production comes from Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, and Oveja Negra Brands handles distribution. The Black Label Trading Company Morphine 2024 edition begins shipping to select retailers next week.
