After years of hard work and dedication, BLACKBIRD Cigar Company continues to strive to make sure their customers have the best experience with each and every cigar they produce. With this mindset, the company realized they needed a bigger space, better bands, better boxes and of course… better cigars. As a company they took a big step and built a new Factory to achieve the goal and at the same time support their community in the Dominican Republic by creating more jobs.
The first goal was achieved. Every single cigar that was being made at the factory during 2023 was in flawless conditions. Since the company focus was to continue to perfect production, Blackbird had not added a new cigar to their core line. They have produced several other products but no new additions to the core line.
Enter The Blackbird Superb
Jonas Santana Gomez, co-owner of Blackbird Cigar Company notes:
“…since we succeeded with our 1st goal, it was now time to add a new blend to our core line. So in the 3rd quarter of 2023 we started tobacco hunting in different countries and meeting with different tobacco growers until we found the ones that understood the quality that we were looking to have on every single cigar produced at the Blackbird Factory. One of the growers showed us an Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper with incredible quality that put a smile on our faces because we didn’t have any habano wrapper on our core line.
We started blending with that wrapper and the challenge began… We did too many blends, mixed with too many tobaccos in the filler that, honestly it was exhausting. But one day, after several tests, a burned out palate, at 3AM in the morning we decided to try the last blend…suddenly the room went silent… we all realized that THIS blend felt like we had just arrived in Paradise!“
The company describes the Blend as:
- Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
- Binder: Undisclosed
- Filler: Undisclosed
They named this cigar SUPERB in reference to the Bird of the Paradise and because of how it felt when they lit up the final blend.
The SUBERB will become available during TPE 2024 and will be expressed in 2 vitolas and packaged in the company’s redesigned core line, 21-count, wooden boxes.
- Robusto Gordo (5 x 54) – MSRP $9.36 Per cigar
- Toro (6 x 52) – MSRP $10.72 Per cigar
The company states that the SUPERB is a medium strength bodied cigar, designed to create a savory and lingering taste of nutmeg but creamy to the palate. Also some hints of cedar can be captured which when combined with the white pepper, will turn your most dull day into a paradise.
