BLK WKS Studio Unveils new exclusive Avispa.
May 23, 2025 — Estelí, Nicaragua — BLK WKS Studio, known for its boundary-pushing blends and bold aesthetics, proudly announces the release of its latest creation: the Avispa. This striking new cigar is the result of a unique collaboration with select retailers and represents a fusion of two of BLK WKS’ most iconic lines — the Killer Bee and the Hornet.
Crafted with a Nicaraguan filler, Ecuadorian binder, and a distinctive dual wrapper of Ecuadorian Habano and Candela, the Avispa is a visual and sensory standout. It delivers a bold, spice-forward profile with layers of complexity that aficionados have come to expect from BLK WKS.
“The Avispa is a Killer Bee & Hornet hybrid, utilizing different elements of each line to create one of the most unique offerings in the BLK WKS portfolio,” said James Brown, creator of BLK WKS and owner at Oveja Negra. “I love experimenting with different Bee and Hornet variations. This cigar is bold, spice-forward, and very complex. It’s a perfect balance between strength and flavor.”
Named after the Spanish word for wasp, the Avispa is more than just a new blend — it’s a testament to the power of creative partnerships. This collaboration has allowed BLK WKS to push the envelope even further, bringing a one-of-a-kind cigar to market that reflects a shared vision of innovation and craftsmanship.
“BLK WKS is all about trying new things and innovation,” Brown added. “Our partners understand that and working together we created a one-of-a-kind cigar that is a great addition across the board.” The line is available in a Toro (5.75” x 48) and has an MSRP of $12 per cigar.
The Avispa is available exclusively through select retailers, Cigora, Cigar.com, Cigars International, and Thompson Cigar, offering cigar enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience this bold new blend.
Cigora, Cigar.com, Cigars International and Thompson Cigar are owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, which also General Cigar Co., Forged Cigar Co. and other cigar companies.
