Killer Bee is available in one size – a 4 1/2 x 46 Petite Corona. The cigar is packaged in 24 count boxes.

The Killer Bee is one of the first three blends released by Black Works Studio. Last year, Black Label Trading Company (BLTC) announced it was launching a second brand known as Black Works Studio (BLK WKS). When the new brand was announced company founder James Brown explained that he had considered cigar making an art form and the launch of Black Works Studio gave him another expression of what he could do as a cigar maker and brand owner. Consistent with the BLTC brand. the lines under Black Works Studio brand are made at BLTC’s Esteli Nicaragua factory, Fabrica Oveja Negra. Today we take a look the Black Works Studio Killer Bee. Overall, I found this to be one of the best releases to date out of Fabrica Oveja Negra as this was one very good cigar.

Like BLTC, Black Works Studio follows a small batch philosophy in terms of production. While the BLTC brand followed more of a “skull and bones theme” in terms of its packaging, the Black Works Studio brand has a much more contemporary and modern art look to it. There were three releases of Black Works Studio: Killer Bee, Rorschach, and NBK. For each of these releases, only one vitola per blend has released.
