BLACK LABEL TRADING COMPANY BOONDOCK SAINT – CORONA LARGA

When Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) first introduced the “Boondock Saint” back in 2016, it quickly developed a fanatic, cult-like following. Releases in 2017, 2018, and 2019 vanished from store shelves instantly. Then, the blend seemingly disappeared into the shadows for over five long years. Aside from a brief teaser appearance in the brand’s 10th-anniversary Boombox sampler, aficionados were left empty-handed and hungry for a full return.

The legendary blend has officially broken its silence and made a triumphant return to the regular limited-edition rotation. To celebrate its long-awaited resurrection, brand creator James Brown brought back one of the absolute finest expressions in the line’s history: the elegant 6.25″ x 46 Corona Larga. Expertly hand-rolled at the boutique Fábrica Oveja Negra factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Corona Larga is highly revered by true cigar purists. Its slender ring gauge strikes the ultimate, golden balance between the intense wrapper leaf and the complex filler tobaccos, letting you taste the true heart and soul of this iconic blend.

By utilizing a slightly narrower 46 ring gauge, the Corona Larga coaxes out a spectacular array of flavors that big-ring cigars simply miss. The first light coats the palate in a velvety wave of rich dark raisin, anise, and bitter baking cocoa. As the razor-sharp burn line glides smoothly down the stick, the blend introduces sophisticated layers of toasted cedar, black pepper, and a subtle espresso bitterness on the finish. It is a bold, deeply satisfying smoke that stays complex and beautifully balanced from the signature pigtail cap down to the foot. Production is strictly finite, so secure your allocation before this legendary blend disappears once more.
