Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is releasing Shaolin 36th Chamber, a new limited edition handcrafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua. The cigar will begin shipping to select retailers later this month.

The name comes from Shaolin lore. According to the release, Shaolin monks trained through 35 chambers, each one designed to refine skill through repetition, precision and control. Then one challenged the order and created the 36th Chamber, “not for the chosen few, but for the people.” BLK WKS says the new cigar is “crafted against the grain,” breaking from convention “not to discard tradition, but to expand it.”

Shaolin 36th Chamber comes in one size, a 5.75 x 46 Belicoso in 24-count boxes at $13.50 per cigar. The wrapper combines Ecuador Habano, Ecuador Habano Maduro and Candela over an Ecuador Habano binder and Nicaraguan filler.

“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,” said James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
