Detailed Description
The Green Hornet distinguishes itself visually and on the palate with its creative candela accents—both along the wrapper and closing the foot. Lighting up, you’ll first encounter a lively pop of green tea and crisp lime before the maduro’s decadence emerges. Each draw layers in rich cocoa, dark espresso, earthy black pepper, leather, grassy notes, and subtle molasses for natural sweetness. Unlike many novelty releases, this cigar maintains complexity and reward from start to finish, with balanced body that appeals to the experienced and adventurous alike.
Originally a rare treat at company events, the Green Hornet’s innovative profile quickly earned it a spot as a permanent offering in the Black Works Studio portfolio. It’s the go-to for those wanting both visual flair and a flavor journey that transitions from fresh to dark, sweet, and spicy.

Tasty little stick. There was some real unique flavors at play here. There was a tangy spiciness to this. Cocoa nibs, blk pepper were the main flavors from this. I found this to another enjoyable offering from them. Great construction and solid price.

Super unique smoke! I haven’t smoked a ton of Candela wrapped cigars so lighting up the foot was very surprising! There’s a nice green tea…almost lime rind note during the candela foot portion. As it turns into the rest of the cigar, that note drops off and only occasionally pops in and out. Strong woody and black pepper but with a faint dark molasses sweetness to balance out the bolder notes. I didn’t notice too many changes to the profile, it was pretty consistent after the short candela start.

Tasty little smoke. Right off the bat you get a nice green tea flavor from the closed candela foot. After that the green tea takes a back seat to a nice balanced peppery smoke but the green tea never really fades. Each drag is very consistent flavor wise until the very end. While not a super complex cigar the flavors are so good that you don’t care that they don’t change. Also a very quick smoke if you’re looking for something when you don’t have a lot of time on your hands. Overall, I was quite impressed. Will definitely be adding more to my humidor.
