Black Label Trading Co. Bishops Blend Novemdiales
Introducing the Black Label Trading Co.’s Bishops Blend Novemdiales an Elevated Take on the Iconic Bishops Blend
Celebrating the 10-year milestone of Black Label Trading Co., we are thrilled to unveil the Novemdiales, a reimagined iteration of our celebrated Bishops Blend. Crafted with precision and an eye for innovation at the esteemed Fabrica Oveja Negra facility in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Novemdiales is an exemplary fusion of complex flavors and meticulously selected tobaccos, designed for the discerning aficionado.
Differentiating it from the original Bishops Blend, which debuted in 2016 with an Ecuadorian-grown maduro wrapper, the Novemdiales employs a robust Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper, seamlessly complemented by an Ecuadorian habano-seed binder. The filler is a harmonious blend of tobaccos from Pennsylvania and Nicaragua, enriched with the inclusion of Connecticut broadleaf. James Brown, the creator of Black Label Trading Co. and a partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, describes this groundbreaking blend as “a rich, earthy, and intricate fusion of dark fruits, layers of spice, and a stout star anise finish.”
These offerings ensure a versatile experience for any aficionado’s preferred smoking time, whether it’s a quicker indulgence or a leisurely pastime.
“Bishops Blend has been one of our most popular and sought-after releases,” Brown emphasized. “In honoring the 10-year anniversary of Black Label Trading Co., it was imperative to bring something extraordinary to the table.”
The Novemdiales is shipping to retailers this week, and while production numbers remain undisclosed, one thing is clear: this is a special edition you won’t want to miss. Secure your box today to experience this limited-edition blend that sets a new standard for complexity and richness in the cigar world.

Medium-full start. Decent draw. Starts with pepper, earth and cocoa. Dark fruity notes emerge and strengthen as we go. Last third brings more pepper and dark woods with dark fruit still present. Very enjoyable and full cigar. Top tier blend. Amazing burn to boot. Enjoyed this in robusto much more than the petite corona, and I’m usually a petite corona fan. The larger ring gauge lead to a smoother and more balanced profile. Petite corona was a little too bitter for my tastes.

The Bishops Blend Novemdiales delivers a full-bodied smoking experience that’s rich and complex. There are bold notes of cocoa, earth, and leather, which are complemented by a touch of peppery spice on the draw. These flavors intertwine beautifully, creating a truly satisfying smoke. The cigar is well-constructed, burning evenly and producing a smooth, creamy texture throughout. While the peppery spice is present, it doesn’t overpower the other elements, instead adding a pleasant warmth to the finish.

These were not my favorite flavor wise. Seemed a little harsh to me. Construction, draw and burn were all very good though. Might just be my taste buds on these.

This cigar gave me plenty of tasty notes. From this I got dark chocolate, leather and plenty of coffee. There was a slight white pepper note on the back end. I got about an hr and 5 minutes out of this and that was perfect time to enjoy this after work. Construction was solid but had to touch up once. Solid little smoke at a great price!

The Black Label Trading Co. Bishops Blend Novemdiales Robusto 5×50 is a visual and sensory delight that promises a truly indulgent cigar experience. The dark brown wrapper, adorned with darker freckles and a pressed vein, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Black Label Trading Company’s commitment to quality. The uniquely tapered head adds a touch of intrigue to the cigar’s appearance.
Upon lighting, the Bishops Blend Novemdiales Robusto unveils a symphony of aromas and flavors. The smoky oak and earthy notes from the wrapper merge seamlessly with the stewed fruit and smokiness emanating from the foot. The pre-light draw is a revelation in itself, offering a complex mix of floral, vegetal, and wood notes, complemented by a pleasantly mild spiciness.
The two black and silver bands, elegantly denoting the line, add a sophisticated touch to this cigar. Despite a slight excess wrapper at the foot, the construction remains impeccable. Black Label Trading Co. has crafted a masterpiece in the Bishops Blend Novemdiales Robusto—a robust, flavorful, and visually striking cigar that captivates the senses from start to finish.

I’m a big fan of the original bishops blend so this one has some tough competition.
This dark chocolate wrapper has few veins and is slightly gritty to touch. A v cut is beautiful on this torpedo style cap. Beautiful draw even with a closed foot.
I love a closed foot because it allows you to taste mostly wrapper before the filler ignites. Vegetal type flavors with hay and leather upon lighting but that profile quickly disappears.
Deep chocolate, leather, and sweet savory finish take over in the first third. The oily and tangy finish is sensational and stays present on the tongue between each puff. The burn line is slightly wavy but it autocorrects.
A metallic note enters but doesn’t ruin the overall profile. Burn for the first half is surprisingly quick (20 mins). Flavors amplify as the stick burns and a brownie note adds into the chocolate flavor. Medium start but medium-full by the end. If you enjoy bishops blend then I’d definitely check these out. Fiver to box worthy for my palate. These should age quite well.

This sample burned a little hot and fast, so I think some extra bitterness was added, but I was still able to tell that this is some tasty tobacco. Lots of dark fudge and raisin notes, with hints of cayenne and sometimes mint on the finish. Construction wasn’t the greatest, but I’ve smoked a ton of Black Label stuff and very rarely had an issue, I’ll revisit this one!

If you like strong and bold cigars this is for you. This is a great cigar, with perfect construction, great flavors, and a good burn time but the nicotine kick is a little too much for me.

I smoked this cigar in the petit corona vitola and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The regular release Bishop’s Blend is one of my favorite sticks of all time, and this blend lives up to the name! It is a wonderful blending of earth notes with spice throughout. As with all their blends, Black Label made another spectacular blend that does not disappoint. If you want a strong short stick to give you a quick punch in the morning, this is the stick for you.
