The Five Temples – Seven Star Fist of Shaolin
“This collection is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ve been rolling various blends in this pyramid size for the last 12 years for myself. It’s finally time to do a production release. The vibe I wanted was an old-school Kung Fu movie, and The Five Temples – Seven Star Fist of Shaolin definitely has that feel. The concept was to create a collection that not only introduces a new vitola for the Bees & Hornets, but also showcases different wrappers. Each cigar is a unique representation of the blends, and the pyramid shape symbolizes the form of a Shaolin temple. The icing on top of all that is the two new versions of the Shaolin. Overall, I think this is the most exciting collection we’ve done for BLK WKS. For anyone who’s a fan of the Killer Bee and Green Hornet, this is a must-have!”
— James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra
