Blackbird Jackdaw

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 Jackdaw 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, USA, and Nicaraguan Corojo ‘99 along with an Indonesian binder leaf. Topping the blend is a nice, golden Ecuador grown Connecticut wrapper. It’s a smooth blend that features flavors of sweet cream and cedar along with a hint of white pepper. The Jackdaw may not be overly complex, but it’s a cigar with a laid-back character that delivers a highly enjoyable experience that hits the spot every time.
