Profile: Full

Black Label Trading Co. was founded by James Brown and operates out of Fábrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, one of the most creatively driven boutique factories in the industry. Brown's cigars have earned a devoted following for their bold, unconventional blends and striking visual identity, and the Bishops Blend has been one of his most celebrated releases since its debut in 2016.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the Bishops Blend, the 2026 edition introduces a dramatic new twist: a barber pole double wrapper construction that pairs the cigar's original Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper with a Connecticut Broadleaf, twisted together in an intertwined spiral that creates a striking two tone visual effect. Beneath the dual wrappers sits an Ecuadorian Habano binder and a three leaf filler of Connecticut, Nicaraguan, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf, the addition of Broadleaf in both the filler and the wrapper elevating the blend's richness and complexity to an entirely new level.

The profile delivers the bold character that has defined Bishops Blend across a decade of releases, with notes of anise, black pepper, raisins, dark earth, and lingering sweet earthiness on the finish. A landmark anniversary release from one of the most original voices in the premium cigar world.

Available in three vitolas, Robusto (5 x 48) in boxes of 20, Corona Largo (6¼ x 46) in boxes of 20, and Lancero (7 x 42) in boxes of 12.
