Black Works Studio The Hornet Corona Larga (6×46) *NEW SUMMER 2023 RELEASE* Debuting at the PCA 2023 Tradeshow as the newest cigar extension- The Hornet is hand rolled in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Fabrica Oveja Negra cigar factory where only master cigar rollers are allowed to roll this blend. Blended by James Brown with premium aged Nicaraguan long fillers & binder tobacco and finished with a unique twist on the wrapper: an Ecuador Maduro wrapper with thin Candela tobacco rings on the cap and foot. The Green Hornet has a closed foot offering a sweet grassy flavor on first puffs that transitions to a robust full body delivering rich notes of milk chocolate, sweet spices, cedar, earth, coffee, pepper, & hints of caramel. This cigar surprised me of how rich and complex it was. Box worthy in my opinion MSRP $10.50

Bolivar Gran Republica Toro (6×54) *New SUMMER 2023 Release* the newest non-Cuban Bolivar cigar released, the Bolivar Gran Republica is named in recognition of when several Central & South American countries gained independence from Spain with help of 19th century political leader Simon Bolivar. The Bolivar Gran Republica is hand crafted in Honduras with a three country long-filler blend including Columbian, Nicaragua & Brazilian tobaccos, a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro leaf. The tasting notes on the Gran Republica Toro were quite impressive with rich flavors on a medium-full body with notes of coffee, chocolate, earth, dark fruit, nuts, cinnamon & sweet spices. The Gran Republica Toro tasted surprisingly delicious, it did start to burn hot, so take your time. MSRP $8.29
