To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Black Label Trading Co. has released what it calls its version of a greatest hits album.

It’s the Black Album Anthology, a 24-count sampler that contains various past limited editions from the company.

Inside each sampler are:

  • 2 Bishops Blend 5 x 48
  • 2 Bishops Blend 7 x 42
  • 4 Deliverance Nocturne 5 x 56
  • 2 La Madonna Negra 4 1/2 x 48
  • 2 Last Rites Viaticum 6 x 48
  • 2 Memento Mori 5 x 50
  • 2 Morphine 5 x 42
  • 2 Morphine 7 1/4 x 42
  • 2 Royalty Black 5 x 54
  • 2 Super Deluxe 4 1/2 x 48

The Black Album Anthology has an MSRP of $300 per box and production is limited to 1,000 units.

While these are all past limited editions, the cigars inside the samplers are new production as opposed to aged cigars from their original production runs.

“With 2023 being our 10-year anniversary, we really wanted to close it out with a bang. I’ve had this idea of a ‘greatest hits’ release for a while and I think this is the perfect occasion to release it,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fábrica Oveja Negra, in a press release. “The Black Album is a curated selection of limited releases spanning from 2013 to the present. Each cigar represents a defining moment in our brand’s history and helped build our brand into what it is today. I’m very excited for them to be available all together for the first time.”

Black Label Trading Co. says these are now shipping.

Update (Nov. 9, 2023) — Added that these cigars are new production.
