Years before the launch of Black Label Trading Co., co-founder James Brown struggled to find a blend that fully satisfied his pallet. At the time, he and his wife Angela ran an adventure tour business that led multiple trips per year through Nicaragua, so he was no stranger to a wide variety of cigars here and elsewhere. Still, James couldn’t find a blend that covered all the bases he desired. So he decided he’d learn everything he could about blending tobacco and create his own.

After a few years of study, James produced an unbranded stick that checked all the boxes he sought in a premium cigar. He shared these cigars with a number of his adventure clients, and they were impressed. So impressed that they wanted more. James and his wife Angela saw the opportunity here, and in 2013 they unveiled Black Label with an impressive six cigar line release—among these was the medium-bodied Royalty blend.

The brand celebrates going against the grain, edginess, and individuality. James has stated that everything coming out of Black Label Trading Company is an expression of himself, from the stick itself all the way to the skeleton clad or modern gothic religious artwork which he designs. The Black Label Trading Company Royalty cigars wear a large black band with a skeleton head wearing a crown. While each line’s artwork is unique, there is definitely a theme running throughout, adding a nice air of danger and mystery to each cigar.

Black Label Trading Company Royalty cigars feature an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. Just below this golden-colored leaf is a Honduran binder that cradles a Nicaraguan filler blend. This multi-country cigar is only available in three sizes, which is true to the brand’s core philosophy of “less is more.” Crown the Royalty with your lighter’s flame, and you’re in a medium-bodied paradise of coffee, cinnamon, leather, and cocoa.

Please enjoy the Black Label Trading Company Royalty cigars at your leisure.
