Black Label Trading will ship Bishops Blend to select retailers beginning next week.
It features an Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and Nicaragua, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf filler.
Bishops Blend comes in a 6.25 x 46 Corona Larga ($13), 5 x 48 Robusto ($12) and a 7 x 42 Lancero ($13.50)
Bishops Blend is produced in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
“This is the eighth release of Bishops Blend and continues to be one of our most sought-after, limited annual releases,” James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, said in a press release. “Bishops Blend boasts big bold flavors of anise, pepper, raisins, and a sweet earthiness on the finish. It is very complex and extremely refined. As with the past vintages, the broadleaf fillers shine at the forefront and are perfectly balanced by the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.”
