Black Label Trading Company: BLK WKS Paper Crane Toro Box Press Cigars

BLK WKS Studio is the brainchild of James Brown, founder and blender of Black Label Trading Co. Considered another artistic expression of Brown's approach to cigar making, Black Works Studio focuses on complex blends and rarer components. James not only flexes his creative muscles in crafting each stick, however, but also in the modernist, avant-garde artwork accompanying each line, all designed by Brown himself.

Released in 2024 during the Premium Cigar Association's annual trade show, BLK WKS' Paper Crane boasts an Ecuadorian Connecticut Desflorado wrapper, a unique varietal that boasts a golden-pink coloration. Beneath the wrapper are an Ecuadorian Habano binder and Nicaraguan fillers that combine to offer a complex and delightfully citrusy flavor profile with a medium strength. Available in both box-pressed Toro and Corona vitolas, the Paper Crane is a limited edition cigar produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, comprising 18,000 total smokes in each vitola.
