Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

Set sail to a world uncharted and become a dweller of the open seas with Piracy Playing Cards. Secrets and lost treasures wait to be discovered - will you embark on the journey?

Piracy Playing Cards were produced using a dual-foil printing process - featuring both gold AND gunmetal silver foil on the backs and faces, with extreme detail and precision. The design as a result is absolutely stunning - a lost treasure that’s finally been discovered.

Every aspect of Piracy Playing Cards were designed from scratch, featuring fully custom fonts, suits, Jokers, Court Cards, and Aces dripped in gold and silver foil. Inspired by the mysteries of the deep sea and the guardians that protect lost treasures, you’ll be transported to a new world every time they’re held in your hands.

MYSTERY MEETS TRADITION

Designed by Abraham Lule, born and raised in Mexico - Sembras combine traditional motifs with an aura of magic that surrounds the distillery. Each deck is carefully packaged inside a premium, textured paper case, embellished with the finest gold foil accents, and adorned with the Sembras factory seal.

Citizens are the most intricate, breathtaking playing cards we’ve ever produced. Illustrated in America by Kevin Cantrell, every aspect was handcrafted with relentless, unrivaled attention to detail. 

For the first time, we combined gold foil, hot stamping, and bronze foil to create a box design that’s eye catching, elegant, and sophisticated.

Even the inside of the box has a breathtaking, intricate guilloche pattern. The Joker and back design bear the Latin phrase “Audentes Fortuna Iuvat.” Fortune favors the brave. The Ace of Spades features an iconic Citizen “C” emblem.
