BLK WKS The Hornet Robusto 5" * 48

A potent yet flavorful smoke with bold notes of spice and pepper tempered by herbal and citrus notes. Its long finish offers touches of cocoa and cedar and is coupled with a spicy and peppery retro-hale. Its savory Ecuadorian maduro wrapper sports a closed foot and swirled cap made of a candela leaf. The closed foot allows the smoker to experience the candela leaf’s sweetness before it reaches the maduro wrapper. The cigar’s binder and filler is composed of premium Nicaraguan tobacco. The Black Works Studio The Hornet is handmade at the Fabrica de Oveja Negra factory in Esteli, Nicaragua.

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see. The Candela (aka Double Claro) wrapper is known for its green color and its mild flavor. To produce a Candela wrapper, the tobacco leaves are harvested and dried quickly before the plant has fully matured. This process locks in the plants natural chlorophyll content and gives the Candela wrapper its green color.

  Ecuadorian

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.

  Maduro

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Featuring the darkest color found in cigar wrappers, maduro leaves are dark brown to almost black in color, and come from the primings furthest up on the plant. Having seen more sun, maduro wrappers tend to be richer and contain more nicotine than their lighter counterparts. Although somewhat intimidating in appearance, do not assume that all maduros are super strong - many can be milder than other types of wrappers, as well as naturally sweeter.
