James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co./Black Works Studio and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra states:

“Orthodox is really about Black Label getting back to its roots. We’ve done a lot over the last 10 years but at our core we are about highlighting the strength & intensity of Nicaraguan tobacco. That’s what I went for with the Orthodox. It’s extremely bold with spice throughout the palate and nose. Its intensity is balanced by flavors of dark fruits, cherries, raisins and finishes with star anise. This cigar is bold but very balanced and extremely complex.”

The Black Label Trading Co Orthodox has a blend described as:

  • Wrapper: Mexico San Andrés
  • Binder: Ecuador Habano
  • Filler: Nicaraguan

The Orthodox is expressed in 3 different vitolas, each packaged in 20-count boxes:
