Black Works Studio Adds Intergalactic as New Limited Edition
Black Works Studio, part of Black Label Trading Co., has a new limited edition called Intergalactic that it will be releasing to U.S. retailers next week, followed by retailers in Germany and Belgium later this month.
The blend features a dark Indonesian Sumatra wrapper, Ecuadorian habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua, which production handled by Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua. Via a press release, James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, called it a unique cigar for Black Works Studio, saying that it is both bold and subtle.
“I would consider it in a more traditional wheelhouse in terms of its overall profile with a definite Oveja Negra twist,” he said. “The blend starts with bold spice followed by herbal and cedar notes. The finish is a balance of different layers. The spice and earthy notes of the Nicaragua filler tobaccos are gently brought together with the creamy, subtle sweetness of the dark Sumatra wrapper.”
It is being offered in two sizes:
- Black Works Studio Intergalactic Robusto (5 1/2 x 50) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
- Black Works Studio Intergalactic Corona Larga (6 1/4 x 46) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
The company is producing 750 boxes of each size.
Shortly after this story was published, production numbers were added, as was a note on the wrapper being from Indonesia.

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.
