Black Label Trading Co. Orthodox

Raisins, dark fruit, cherry and star anise complement a bold spiciness in the Black Label Trading Co’s Orthodox, a 4.50 x 52 Short Robusto that commands your attention from the first puff. Assertively full-bodied, this cigar shouldn’t be mistaken as conventional. In reality, the name suggests a return to the company’s very deep Nicaraguan roots where brand founder James Brown operates a revered boutique factory. A combination of San Andres Mexican wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder and filler from Nicaragua, the Orthodox is a limited-run smoke due to the astronomically high standards Brown sets for every stick. Meant to show aficionados what it’s like to smoke like a true Nicaraguan, these flavors will stand tall in your humidor. Of course, that’s if you manage to snag one of these 20-count boxes at Cigars.com while supplies last.
