Black Label Bishops Blend Novemdiales Robusto (5″ x 50)

Black Label Trading Co. has released an amped-up version of its Bishops Blend called Novemdiales. The new line features a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, an Ecuadorian Habano-seed binder, and a filler that includes tobacco from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania, as well as Connecticut broadleaf. The blend is a departure from the original Bishops Blend, which debuted in 2016, and used an Ecuadorian-grown maduro wrapper. “The result is a very rich, earthy, and intricate fusion of dark fruits, layers of spice, and a stout star anise finish,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, via a press release. “Bishops Blend has been one of our most popular and sought-after releases,” Brown said. “This year, to help celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Black Label Trading Co., we felt compelled to create a special edition.”
