Blackbird Rook Robusto

The Blackbird Rook is another outstanding blend from this relatively new cigar company. It’s made in their factory in the Dominican Republic with care using a rich blend of top tier tobaccos. The blend features filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua along with a Habano binder leaf. Topping the blend is a nice dark and oily Sumatra seed wrapper. Despite its dark appearance, the blend is smooth and features flavors of cream, coffee, and nuts along with hints of cedar, pepper, and dried fruits. The Rook is complex but smooth and has that trademark laid-back character of Blackbird cigars. This might be our favorite release from this burgeoning cigar company yet!

Can’t clip my wings! That’s the motto of this upstart, boutique cigar company. Blackbird Cigar Co. produces some really interesting sticks using great tobaccos. They also own their own factory in the Dominican Republic where they can control production from raw material to finished product. While the brand is young (it launched in 2019), their debut products created quite a stir in the industry. Each cigar blend they produce is named after a bird or bird-related. In this case, the blend is named after a black bird and called the Jackdaw.
