Black Label Trading Co. Ships Santa Muerte
Black Label Trading Co. has begun shipping on the latest installment of its annual Santa Muerte line, and as in years past, it’s a limited release.
The line, which debuted in 2016, uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and binder over a filler of Nicaraguan, Dominican, Mexican and broadleaf tobacco grown in the United States. It is produced at the company’s Fabrica Oveja Negra factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and offered in two sizes: a Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 48, $10) and a Short Robusto (4 3/4 x 52, $10). Both are packaged in 20-count boxes.
Just 500 boxes of each size are being release, per a press release from the company.
“We have gone out of the box with Santa Muerte. Although it doesn’t pack the punch of most of our LE’s, Santa Muerte is an extremely complex smoke,” said James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, adding that the cigar is a Day of the Dead tribute to the memory of those who have passed away.
The line also received a 2017 release.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
