On Prime Time Special Edition 178, begin the Aging Experiment on the La Flor Dominicana (LFD) Double Ligero Chisel Natural.

With the “Aging Experiment” Series, Bear and Coop smoke a cigar, smoke another cigar six months later, and a third cigar one year later. The idea is to see how the cigar responds to aging over a period of time.  With the Chisel, this is iconic and signature size in the LFD portfolio and one that has special meaning to co-host Bear Duplisea.

Plus we will have our Artesano de Tobacco Under the Sea, Espinosa This Day in Sports History, and Altadis USA Great Things are Happening segments.

Black Label Trading Company was founded by James and Angela Brown and is based out of their factory, Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.  Most cigar smokers know them well as James is one of the hottest cigar blenders around at them moment, especially from Nicaragua.  In 2015, James created the Black Works Studio, or sometimes called BLK WKS, which was like a laboratory for him to experiment with different tobaccos and vitolas in a limited supply. One of the first cigars to be released from Black Works Studio was the Killer Bee.  The Killer Bee was a unique cigar that had a distinctive cap.  The cigar is wrapped with a luscious Connecticut Maduro wrapper from Ecaudor, but the cap also included a sliver of natural Ecuadorian Connecticut shade tobacco wrapped around it giving it the bee stripes effect.

Vitola:  Robusto

Final Score: 90
