Black Works Studio Announces New Shaolin 36th Chamber Limited Edition
Black Works Studio is bringing a new twist to one of its familiar concepts with the release of Shaolin 36th Chamber, a new limited-edition cigar handcrafted at Fábrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The new release is expected to begin shipping to select retailers later this month.
The idea behind Shaolin 36th Chamber draws from the story of the traditional 35 chambers of Shaolin training, where discipline, repetition, precision, and control were used as the path toward mastery.
The 36th Chamber represents something different — breaking from the established order and opening that knowledge to the people.
That same idea carries into the cigar. Black Works Studio describes Shaolin 36th Chamber as being crafted against the grain, breaking from convention without abandoning the traditions that came before it.
A Bolder Take on Shaolin
According to James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Company and partner at Fábrica Oveja Negra, this release takes the original Shaolin profile in a stronger direction.
“The Shaolin 36th Chamber is a new, bolder take on the original Shaolin. The double Habano wrapper brings a bit more spice to the table and blends perfectly with a unique profile of herbal tea, citrus and bread notes. The Candela accents add an additional layer of complexity to this classic profile,” Brown said.
The cigar uses a combination of Ecuador Habano, Ecuador Habano Maduro and Candela for the wrapper, along with an Ecuador Habano binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos.
