Black Label Trading Co. Morphine Limited Edition – 10th Anniversary
Celebrate a decade of bold craftsmanship with Black Label Trading Co.’s Morphine Limited Edition. Handcrafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, this small‑batch 10th Anniversary release revives classic formats and introduces new vitolas, showcasing a dual‑wrapper presentation—Ecuador Maduro and San Andrés—over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The result is an intense, layered profile delivered with BLTC’s signature precision and style.
- Dual wrappers: Ecuador Maduro + San Andrés for amplified depth and contrast
- Nicaraguan core: binder and fillers tuned for richness and drive
- Small‑batch production: crafted in limited quantities
- Four vitolas including returning classics and new shapes for 2025
- Built at Fabrica Oveja Negra, Estelí, Nicaragua
Expect a dark, complex spectrum: cacao, espresso, and black pepper wrapped in earth, leather, and anise, with a persistent mineral edge and a slow‑building sweetness reminiscent of molasses and dark berry. The dual‑wrapper execution layers texture and tone—San Andrés’ rustic depth and Ecuador Maduro’s satin richness—while the Nicaraguan core drives a focused, full‑tilt profile.

Not a bad cigar by any means but nothing that blew me out of the water. I think BLTC has better offerings. You get the classic BLTC experience with long finishes and bold flavor notes. The pepper on the retro is very present. I would smoke again but wouldn’t load a humidor full of these personally. Worth a try though!
