Black Label Trading Co. Cigars NBK

Standing for 'Natural Born Killer,' NBK is an intense, box-pressed powerhouse handcrafted at Fábrica de Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua. Clothed in an oily Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and prime estate fillers, this full-bodied beast unleashes commanding layers of dark chocolate, concentrated espresso, fertile loam earth, black pepper, and leather.

Black Works Studio NBK Robusto

Blind Man's Puff · May 10, 2019 · December 2015

In 2015, James Brown launched Black Works Studio, an offshoot of Black Label Trading Company that would focus on small batch releases. Three lines launched when Black Works Studio made the first shipment: NBK, Killer Bee and Rorschach. Today we are reviewing the Black Works Studio NBK Robusto. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The Black Works Studio NBK uses an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers. It is rolled at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua like all other Black Works Studio. It comes in two regular production vitolas, a 6 x 46 corona gorda and a 5 x 50 robusto, both come in boxes of 20. An event only lonsdale is also produced.
