Black Label Trading Co. 2026 Bishops Blend Shipping to Retailers This Week
PRESS RELEASE
July 7, 2026 — Black Label Trading Company is pleased to announce the shipment of Bishops Blend to select retailers beginning this week. Bishops Blend is handcrafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
BISHOPS BLEND is a limited release that was first released in 2016.
“It’s been ten years since we introduced Bishops Blend, and it has grown into one of our most sought-after releases. To celebrate this milestone, this year’s edition features a double-wrapper presentation, pairing the original Ecuadorian Maduro with Connecticut Broadleaf. The addition of Broadleaf in both the filler and wrapper further enhances the cigar’s rich, elegant, and complex character, taking it to an entirely new level. Smokers can expect the same bold profile that has defined Bishops Blend, highlighted by notes of anise, pepper, raisins, and a lingering sweet earthiness on the finish,” said James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
