There will be a brand new, limited edition line added to Black Label Trading Co.’s portfolio at the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, as today the company announced Last Rites Viaticum.

It’s a 5 x 54 box pressed robusto, using an Ecuadorian maduro wrapper, Honduran habano binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, with production handled by Fabrica Oveja Negra. It is scheduled to arrive at retailers in the fall, and the only retailers who will be able to carry it will be those who attend the trade show.

“We wanted to release a cigar exclusively for IPCPR attendees as a way of showing our appreciation for the retailers who come to support our brands and the show,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, via a press release. “Last Rites has always been a special cigar to me. It was the first cigar I blended on my own, and I blended it to my personal tastes. It’s everything I wanted out of a cigar and a perfect representation of Black Label Trading Co. To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I wanted to do a special edition of the Last Rites. The Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s rich, dark and elegant just like Nicaraguan tobacco. We also box pressed the cigar like the original 2013 release.”
