Black Star Line Cigars has proudly announced the debut of its newest release, the Eugene Bullard rolled by La Zona, which will premiere at the PCA Convention & Trade Show in 2026. This limited-production cigar honors the extraordinary legacy of Eugene Bullard, one of history’s most remarkable and often overlooked trailblazers. This Limited Release Pays Tribute to a True Pioneer!
Born in 1895, Bullard made history as the world’s first Black combat fighter pilot, serving with distinction for France during World War I. Before taking to the skies, he had already built a reputation as a professional boxer and later became a decorated war hero. His life embodied resilience, courage, and a refusal to accept limitations placed upon him. The Eugene Bullard cigar celebrates that same pioneering spirit.
The company describes the Eugene Bullard blend as:
- Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés
- Binder: Nicaraguan
- Filler: Nicaraguan
The blend delivers a balanced smoking experience designed for enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and rich flavor.
Crafted with precision and bold character, the Eugene Bullard is expressed in a single (5.5 x 46) vitola that comes packaged in 10-count bundles and ha an MSRP of $13.00/cigar.
This release will be limited, with only 200 bundles produced for the first run, making it both a collectible and an accessible premium offering for retailers and consumers alike. Shipping is planned for May 2026.
