Black Label Trading Company – Cigars
Black Label Trading Company: Unique Aesthetic and Premium Enjoyment
The cigars of the Black Label Trading Company are renowned for their extraordinary packaging and distinctive character. Particularly eye-catching are the artfully designed boxes with two-tone motifs – including skulls, animal bones, or Dürer’s praying hands. These striking designs caught the attention of importer Martina Kleinlagel when she discovered the brand at the IPCPR 2019 trade show. Since this pivotal moment, these high-quality cigars have enriched the German market.
A Creative Team from the USA
The brand was founded by Angela and James Brown, a Texas-based couple. Following their wedding, their travels took them around the world to Nicaragua, where they initially organized off-road tours. Enthralled by the culture and traditions of the country, they developed a passion for cigars and decided to craft their own creations.
The Tabacalera Oveja Negra Factory
The cigars of the Black Label Trading Company are produced in their own factory, Tabacalera Oveja Negra, which translates to "the black sheep." This name reflects the independent spirit and underdog mentality of the company. With meticulous attention to detail and artisanal perfection, the small factory has built a loyal following. Their bold designs and high-quality boutique cigars are particularly appreciated.
James Brown is the creative force behind the impressive designs and cigar bands, while Angela Brown handles marketing. Their cigars are known for their intense blends, which appeal primarily to seasoned aficionados. The bold tobacco blends, often featuring Nicaraguan tobacco, are less suited for beginners and are best enjoyed during relaxing evening hours.
The Collections of Black Label Trading Company
Since 2013, the brand has captivated the US market. Among their first series were Lawless, Salvation, Royalty, and Last Rites. Particularly popular is the evolution of Last Rites under the name Viaticum. Also worth recommending are the limited Super Deluxe and the intense Morph.
In addition, the partner brand Black Works Studio offers a variety of creative lines with unique names like Killer Bee or Hyena, delighting cigar lovers seeking variety.
