One of the more interesting stories behind a cigar release at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Showcame from Black Star Line Cigars. The cigar is called Meadowood, MLK, and it's a cigar that pays homage to Martin Luther King. Meadowood was a tobacco farm located in Simsbury, Connecticut, owned by the Cullman Brothers. Before attending college, King worked at this farm, where he found inspiration to become a pastor by delivering small sermons to his fellow employees. This is a story that many people are unfamiliar with, but Black Star Line Cigars' Meadowood keeps this history alive.

There was a little bit of everything going on at C.L.E. across the company's three brands: C.L.E., Asylum, and Eiroa. There were new lines, reblends, rebrands, innovative packaging, and a flavored cigar. However, all these releases dwarfed Asylum's 134 x 13 release - the Megalophobia.
