BLTC announces new cigar; Last Rites Viaticum


Black Label Trading Company announced that LAST RITES VIATICUM will be available to BLTC retailers at this years IPCPR.  Viaticum is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to retailers attending IPCPR 2019.  Shipping set for this fall.

"We wanted to release a cigar exclusively for IPCPR attendees as a way of showing our appreciation for the retailers who come to support our brands and the show. Last Rites has always been a special cigar to me. It was the first cigar I blended on my own, and I blended it to my personal tastes. It's everything I wanted out of a cigar and a perfect representation of Black Label Trading Co. To celebrate our sixth anniversary, I wanted to do a Special Edition of the Last Rites. The Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It's rich, dark and elegant just like Nicaraguan tobacco. We also box pressed the cigar like the original 2013 release," says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
