Black Label Trading Company: Memento Mori Lonsdale Cigars

Memento mori is a classic Latin admonition that literally translates to "remember death." The saying has been the focal point of many artistic and philosophical traditions throughout history, and its reminder of mortality is meant to encourage a greater appreciation of life. As a cigar, Black Label Trading Company's Memento Mori was originally a factory exclusive, available only at the brand's Oveja Negra factory in Nicaragua. In 2022, though, founder James Brown introduced the blend to retailers as a limited-production cigar. Comprising a dark Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and Nicaraguan fillers, the Memento Mori perfectly balances strength and complexity, offering a flavor profile of spice, earth, dark fruits, and cocoa and perfectly embodying Black Label's signature design aesthetic and style of cigar making.
