LAST RITES VIATICUM will be available toBLTC retailers at this years IPCPR. This is a small batch release offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to retailers attending IPCPR 2019. Shipping will commence 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 FabricaOveja Negra.

One more, I promise! I only smoked one Cosecha and it was the 2012 and it was at the Mombacho Media party in Las Vegas. It was an outdoor event and not the best conditions to smoke a cigar. However, smoking it was the only option, and it was very good, despite the hot and dry conditions. I have some great memories from that evening. I know a place around here to get Mombacho cigars, maybe I’ll get my hands on one of these one of these days.
