Black Label Trading Company
Black Label Trading Company was founded in 2013 by husband-and-wife duo James and Angela Brown. Based in Estelí, Nicaragua, their cigars are handcrafted at their own factory, Fábrica Oveja Negra (“Black Sheep Factory”), which also produces cigars for their sister brand, Black Works Studio.
BLTC is known for its small-batch, artisanal approach, using premium tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and Ecuador. Their philosophy is rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and rebellion against convention—a true “black sheep” in the cigar world. The brand’s edgy artwork, bold blends, and limited releases have earned it a loyal fanbase among modern cigar lovers.
Signature lines include:
- Last Rites – A rich, medium-full blend with notes of chocolate, spice, and cedar
- Bishops Blend – A seasonal release with a cult following, known for its complexity and strength
- Killer Bee – A visually striking cigar with a closed foot and spiral cap, offering a spicy, full-bodied profile
- Royalty – A more refined, medium-bodied smoke with notes of cocoa and earth
BLTC cigars are for those who appreciate intensity, individuality, and artistic flair in every puff.
