Black Label Intergalactic Event Horizon Arrives This Week

Don’t let part of its name fool you, this isn’t an event exclusive.

Black Label Trading Co.’s new Intergalactic Event Horizon is a three-vitola limited edition that uses a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper over an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and fillers from Nicaragua. The company showed off the cigar at last week’s InterTabac 2024 trade fair in Dortmund, Germany. American retailers can expect the cigar this week, while European retailers will get the cigars shortly after. This release is a follow-up to the Intergalactic, a 2022 release that used a different wrapper.

• Black Label Trading Co. Intergalactic Event Horizon Robusto (5 1/2 x 50) — $11.50 (Box of 20, $230)
• Black Label Trading Co. Intergalactic Event Horizon Toro (6 x 48) — $12 (Box of 20, 240)
• Black Label Trading Co. Intergalactic Event Horizon Petite Corona (4 3/4 x 46) — Box of 20, $220)

There are 900 boxes of each vitola.

“We are bringing out the dark side of Intergalactic with ‘Event Horizon,'” said James Brown, founder of Black Label Trading Co., in a press release. “The Event Horizon is wrapped in Pennsylvania Broadleaf which completely changes everything from the original 2022 Sumatra Intergalactic. This cigar is bold with flavors of dark fruits, raisins, earth and star anise. The long finish is a mix of pepper and chili spice followed by a hint of sweetness. The Event Horizon is extremely complex and very well balanced.”

Black Label’s cigars are made at the company’s Fábrica Oveja Negra factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
