The Black Works Studio Killer Bee is a great cigar when looking for a quick smoke. Very full bodied in dark rich flavors like espresso and chocolate but not overly strong.

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.

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.
