2015 was a big year for James Brown and Black Label Trading Company (BLTC). First Brown moved his production into his company’s own production factory, Fabrica de Oveja Negra.  Late last year, Brown announced he was forming a whole new brand that would be separate from BLTC known as Black Works Studio. When Black Works Studio was announced 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. Today we take a look at one of the cigars launched with this new brand, the Black Works Studio NBK. Overall, I found the NBK to be an excellent cigar and one that gets Black Works Studio off to a nice start.

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 was produced.
