Fábrica Oveja Negra

The cigar is named for the punk rock band fronted by Wendy O. Williams. For brand co-owner Cynn Coburn, it was the chance to honor an icon of punk rock decadence & attitude, who she said live the life of a Dissident.

A new perfecto said to represent the Death’s Head Moth’s chrysalis joins the lineup for 2024’s release, as does a box-pressed toro. They join two classic sizes for the line, which will begin shipping to retailers next week.

The Black Works Studio Killer Bee Perfecto was one of the six vitolas included in the 2021 The Hive samplers. Now, it’s back under a new name as a Smoke Inn exclusive.

Only a few days after making its debut at InterTabac 2024, Intergalactic Event Horizon is already on its way to U.S. retailers. The new cigar is a follow-up to the company’s 2022 Intergalactic release.

After a year off, the Molotov returns for an encore release. The robusto, with its mild-to-medium profile, was the first cigar released after Cynn and Joshua Coburn acquired the Dissident brand in late 2021.

Strong, full-flavored cigars have long been Black Label Trading Co.’s thing. This year, the company said it was returning to its roots with Orthodox, what it called one of its boldest new blends.

The new limited edition is made up of an Ecuadorian Connecticut desflorado wrapper covering an Ecuadorian habano binder and filler tobaccos grown in Nicaragua. In Japanese culture, paper cranes symbolize hope, love and healing.

Ahead of the cooler fall and winter months, Black Label Trading Co. is releasing a new blend in a petit corona vitola. James Brown calls it “a big cigar in a small package.”

Bishops Blend 2024 will begin shipping to “select stores” next week. Unlike last year’s Bishops Blend Novemdiales, the 2024 version uses the normal blend, topped off with an Ecuadorian habano maduro wrapper.

Orthodox is described as one of the boldest Black Label blends to date.

After releasing the Bishops Blend Novemdiales last year as part of the company’s 10th anniversary celebration, the 2024 release of Bishops Blend will be nearly identical to the 2022 Bishops Blend.
