Black Label Trading Co. Super Deluxe 2025

By Tony Casas | March 3, 2025

It’s finally spring! I tend to take the winter months off from reviews since it’s much too cold outside. Now with the weather warming I am back in action brining you a review of the Black Label Trading Co. 2025 Super Deluxe.

The Good Stuff:

The Black Label Trading Co. Super Deluxe was originally released in three sizes back in 2020. This limited edition run sold out quickly and instantly became Black Label’s most requested cigar in history states Jame Brown the brand’s co-owner. Fast forward to 2025 and the Super Deluxe is poised to make its triumphant return. Produced at the company’s Fabrica Oveja Negra factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, the blend features the same blend: A Mexican San Andres Maduro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder and filters from Nicaragua. The new release features one of the original formats (Petite Corona: 4 1/2 x 48) as well as two new formats (Robusto: 5 x 50 and Toro: 6 x 50). Each cigar comes in a soft-box press format packaged in boxes of 20 which range between $11 and $13 per cigar with only 750 boxes of each format being released. Huge thanks to the Black Label team for sending some of these our way for review.

Prelight:

The Black Label Super Deluxe starts out with a very, very dark brown, almost black wrapper that’s perfectly consistent in color from top to bottom. The wrapper’s texture if slightly toothy and very oily. The wrapper is very thick and very dense while the cigar as a whole is packed tightly and has a bit more weight than you’d expect for such a small cigar. There is only one minor vein running through the cigar’s tiny, box pressed body leading up to its round, double-wrapped cap. The cigar is then polished off with a black and silver band with the Super Deluxe logo embossed in the front.

The wrapper on the Super Deluxe gives off bold tobacco and spice aromas while the foot of the cigar screams tobacco musk and oak. The cold draw produces notes of sweet wood, musk, and earthiness.

First Half:

Because of the cigar’s smaller stature I will be reviewing this in to parts instead of my normal three. The Super Deluxe starts out with a blast of sweet oak backed by raisin/plum, musk, cinnamon and some underlying spice and pepper. There is also a little taste under there that I can only describe as “root beer”. It’s a fantastic flavor profile right off the bat. The draw is absolutely perfect! Each tiny puff kicks out a massive cloud of thick, gray smoke which really sticks around for a a good amount of time while the cigar releases a ton of stationary smoke while it rests in my ashtray. The burn line is razor sharp and dead even leaving behind a tightly compacted trail of white ash which held on for almost an inch before falling into my ashtray.

Second Half:

The further I get through the Super Deluxe the more the blackberry and raisin flavors come out along with loads of bold, sweet woodsy flavors over lighter notes of spice and musk. This is a killer profile. The retrohale brings forward some really sharp spice and I honestly like how subtle the spice is so I don’t find myself doing it too often. The cigar burned flawlessly from start to finish. I did have to smoke at a bit higher pace as the cigar wanted to go out at the start, but the change in pace smoothed things out. It took me a little over an hour to smoke the Super Deluxe down to the nub and Ioved every second of it. No sap, no harshness and no extended heat. I close out the cigar with nothing other than a min or nicotine kick.

Overview:

The Black Label Super Deluxe was in high demand, and for good reason. This has been one of my more favorite releases from the company and I am happy that it’s back even in its limited capacity. The flavor profile is just….welll.. perfect and really fits my personal taste. The format is also incredible. I love petite corona and soft boxpress cigars. It’s very affordable and let’s face it, the only drawback is that these will insta-sellout. So grab them while you can!
