Black Works Studio Killer Bee
Experience the artistry and bold flavor of the Black Works Studio Killer Bee, a standout boutique cigar crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua. This small-batch premium is renowned for its striking visual appeal, featuring a unique bee-striped cap and closed foot created with thin strips of contrasting wrapper leaves. The result is a cigar that’s as visually captivating as it is flavorful.
The Killer Bee showcases an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper, expertly paired with a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long fillers. Its compact petite corona vitola (4.5 x 46) delivers a concentrated, full-bodied smoking experience, while the meticulous construction ensures an even burn and a satisfying draw from start to finish.
On the palate, expect a complex flavor journey: the initial draws bring bold notes of dark chocolate, earth, and a lively citrus zest, complemented by black pepper and wood. As the cigar progresses, flavors of cocoa and wood take center stage, with hints of lemon and pepper lingering in the background. The final third intensifies with a resurgence of pepper, cedar, and subtle espresso, maintaining balance without overwhelming the senses.
The Killer Bee’s signature creamy smoke and robust strength make it a favorite among aficionados seeking innovation and depth in a compact format. Its distinctive band, adorned with gold accents and a bee motif, underscores the cigar’s creative spirit and attention to detail.

The Black Works Studio Killer Bee is a full-bodied, flavorful cigar that’s sure to please experienced smokers. The complex profile keeps you guessing, and the construction is top-notch. However, this cigar is on the stronger side, so be prepared for a bit of a nicotine kick.

Another Winner! All these killer bee Coronas are bringing big flavors to the party. From this I get rich leather, Expresso and blk pepper on the back end. There is an inherent toothiness to the wrapper on this. Construction was spot on. I’ve really enjoyed all the blends in this line. Would not hesitate to smoke again.

Fantastic short stick to add into the rotation! I noticed the cadence at which I puffed made a bigger difference than other cigars. Smoking this slowly really kept things squarely in the Medium range with awesome balance and a nice sweetness on the finish. Smoking it quicker turns this cigar up at least a few levels for the bolder fans. It never gets too harsh or bitter, but it definitely ramps up to a much fuller experience.

Such a great cigar. A follow-up to the amazing little smoke in the original Killer Bee, the connie is fabulous. This attractive corona is not just a looker but also an impeccably constructed smoke that burns razor sharp with a tight ash. The dominant flavors are roasted nuts, and coffee, but definitely has some pepper tones as well that keep it very interesting.

I’ve had a handful of these and have been consistently impressed. Enough that I bought a box. Med/full body. Nice creamy finish. And nice to look at too.

Giving this 4 out of 5 due to construction. I’ve smoked so much from Black Works and they have more construction issues than any other company.
