BLK WKS Culture Vulture

PRESS RELEASE September 15, 2026 — Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is pleased to announce the release of CULTURE VULTURE; handcrafted at Fabrica OvejaNegra in Esteli, Nicaragua. CULTURE VULTURE is a new Limited Edition that will begin shipping to select retailers next week. “The Culture Vulture represents a whole new level for Black Works Studio. It’s unlike anything we’ve created before, from the artwork and overall concept to the construction of the cigar itself. From the first look, the dual wrapper grabs your attention with an ‘Ombré’-style fade that moves from green to yellow and back to green, highlighting the contrast between the Candela and Habano wrappers. The artwork was created alongside the cigar, with both designed to capture the same bold, unconventional energy. For me, the visual identity and the cigar itself must work together—they’re both part of telling the story. But the real story is in the profile. This is, without question, the boldest profile we’ve ever created for Black Works. There’s an intensity and depth to it that feels completely unique and pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before. Culture Vulture isn’t just another cigar for us; it’s a statement," says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
