James Brown and his brand BLK WKS Studios is one of the most highly sought after boutique brands in cigars - one-of-a-kind packaging and limited-edition releases make the brand a mainstay in enthusiasts humidors all over the world. Produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Nicaragua, all BLK WKS releases boast full-bodied profiles that have become synonymous with the Nicaraguan factory. One of the most popular BLK WKS launches in recent memory came in the form of Hornet.
Hornet starts with a dark Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper with a taste of Candela on the foot. Underneath you'll find a punchy Nicaraguan habano binder overtop a potent blend of Nicaraguan filler tobaccos that combine to create a blend for true full-bodied connoisseurs. Expect notes of dark chocolate, clove, and leather with a distinctly spicy finish. Is Hornet the perfect blend for everyone? Maybe not. Is it one of the best full-bodied Nicaraguan blends on the market? Absolutely.

Huge fan of the Hornet! Not only is it one of the best looking cigars I have ever seen, it really packs a (pleasant) punch. Loved reading this review!
