Black Label Trading Macabre

Black Label Trading Co. built its rep on the edgier side of the boutique cigar spectrum – and they’re back it with Macabre, a PCA 2026 exclusive. You’ll recognize it by the sheep skeleton design, and the distinctive rabito (aka pigtail) cap.

Black Label Macabre also lives up to BLTC’s reputation for making cigars with furiously Nicaraguan character: spicy, feisty, rich, and full. Here, a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covers Ecuadorian Habano binder and all-Nicaraguan long filler, a combo that leans dark and full-bodied from the start. A persistent peppery spice carries on throughout most of the smoke, balanced out by floral undertones that keep surfacing at just the right moments. Blender James Brown describes it simply as ‘rich, dark, and elegant,’ and finding that balance is really what defines Macabre.

Also, just finding Macabre: with just 800 boxes of the Robusto and Toro, and only 650 of the Corona Gorda, this isn’t a cigar you’ll find sitting on shelves for long. Order now, because once this run is gone, it’s gone for good.
