Can’t clip my wings! That’s the moto 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. I know what you’re thinking: Unkind is not a bird. Correct. But, as there was already a Raven cigar in existence, the brand owner chose Unkind as a flock of Ravens is called an unkindness. Pretty creative if you ask us, and their cigar Blackbird Unkind is just as inventive.
The Blackbird Cigar Unkind Cubra Gran Toro is a bit of a mouthful to speak, but it’s an enticing product that deserves a deeper dive. Bottom line is they try a little harder than some other companies. They pull some really good exotic tobaccos for their blends to give them flavor and depth. The Unkind begins with a core of 4 unique tobaccos. These include Nicaraguan Criollo 98, HBA, Nicaraguan Corojo, and Pennsylvanian tobaccos. It’s bound with a Dominican leaf and wrapped in beautiful Brazilian Cubra wrapper. Expect a medium to full experience with flavors of earth, pepper, and dark chocolate with hints of nuts and caramel. It’s another excellent blend from Blackbird.
