Black Works Studio Announces Two Event-Only Cigars
Black Works Studio, an offshoot brand of Black Label Trading Co., has announced a pair of new cigars that will only be available at retailer events beginning in March.
The Green Hornet Kato is a 4 1/2 x 46 corona extra, and is easily recognized by its Ecudaorian maduro wrapper with a candela swirl cap and a closed foot, which sits on top of a Nicaraguan habano binder and Nicaraguan filler. It comes priced at $9.50 per cigar and packed in 20-count boxes.
The Killer Bee Lonsdale measures 6 1/2 x 42 and uses an Ecuadorian maduro wrapper with a Connecticut linear cap. Underneath that is a Nicaraguan habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua. It is priced at $9 per cigar and also comes in 20-count boxes and joins the original Killer Bee (4 1/2 x 46) and the Killer Bee Green Hornet (5 x 48).
Both of the cigars are made at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua.
“We are very excited to launch these new additions to the Killer Bee and Green Hornet lines,” said James Brown, create of BLK WKS and owner of Fabrica Oveja Negra, via a press release. “These cigars will be released as event only in very limited quantities. Both of these cigars are unique versions of the original blends and highlight the creativity of our factory. I wanted something special for our retailers who support us with events and these two cigars are exactly that,” he added.
Black Works Studio, which is often stylized as BLK WKS, was launched in November 2015 as a way to showcase the creative ability of the factory and bring new projects to market.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
