“Bishops Blend boasts big bold flavors of anise, pepper, raisins and a sweet earthiness on the finish,” James Brown, creator of Black Label Trading Co. and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra, said in a statement. “As with the past vintages, the broadleaf fillers shine at the forefront and are perfectly balanced by the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos”.
