Description
The Black Works Studio The Five Temples Hornet Pennsylvania Broadleaf is a 5 x 54 pyramid that pairs a Pennsylvania broadleaf wrapper with a Honduran habano binder and Nicaraguan filler. Fabrica Oveja Negra in EstelÃ, Nicaragua, rolls it as one of seven blends in the 24-cigar Five Temples – Seven Star Fist of Shaolin collection, which Oveja Negra announced in October 2025.
What It Tastes Like
We found no independent review of this pyramid, and Oveja Negra’s announcement offers no flavor notes for it. For context, a September 2023 review of the regular Hornet, which wears an Ecuadorian maduro and candela wrapper, notes espresso, dark chocolate and black pepper, building from medium-full to full body; the broadleaf may shift that.
Who It’s For
- Broadleaf maduro smokers curious how The Hornet’s Nicaraguan base handles a Pennsylvania-grown wrapper.
- Pyramid fans who like a tapered head on a stubby five-inch frame.
- Five Temples followers who want to try one blend at a time.
