Backwoods Cigars Backwoods Original Wild & Mild
Backwoods Original Wild & Mild Size: Approximately 4⅛″ × 27–32Vitola: Cigarillo (Parejo)Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Natural LeafBinder: Homogenized Tobacco LeafFillers: Caribbean Basin Cuban Seed, U.S. and Dominican Short-FillersFlavor Notes: Natural tobacco, oak, cocoa husk, earthy hay, black pepper, soft molassesPairing Notes: Root beer, spiced black tea, bourbon, dark cola, café con lecheManufacturer: ITG Brands (Machine-made in USA and Dominican Republic) The Original Rough Rider Before the flavors and the wild experimentation, there was Backwoods Original. No sweet glaze, no syrupy coat—just raw, rugged tobacco flavor. It was made for the man chopping wood behind the cabin and the one leaning on a lowrider in East L.A. at dusk. That weathered, frayed end and dusty broadleaf wrap carry decades of American grit in every puff. This is the cigarillo that paved the way for every honey-dipped, berry-blasted variant that followed. But Wild & Mild stays grounded. Earthy. Honest. A true throwback to when a smoke meant tobacco and nothing else. You feel the rustic leaf, taste the farmland, and smell the barn where this story began. In a world obsessed with dessert profiles, Backwoods Original reminds us that sometimes, the purest form is the best. It's the backbone of the Backwoods legacy—and it deserves its place in the Privada collection not for what it adds, but for what it refuses to compromise. Flavor Journey First Third: Rustic and raw—notes of earth, cocoa husk, and pepper rise up immediately.Second Third: Oak and dry hay take over, layered with natural tobacco richness and a hint of molasses.Final Third: Smooth and dry finish with a peppery backbone and toasted wood profile. Why It Belongs in Privada There’s no evolution without an origin. Backwoods Original is the blueprint—the one that came before the flavors, before the glitz. It’s the grandfather in overalls and work boots, passing down stories around the fire. In Privada, we honor heritage. And Wild & Mild is pure heritage. A ritual stick for those who want the unrefined, unflavored, and unforgettable.

Barrel Aged Edition #1
Barrel Aged Edition #1 Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: SumatraBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Oak, bourbon sweetness, spice, cedar, roasted nuts, dark chocolatePairing Notes: Bourbon neat, oak-aged stout, spiced rum, dark chocolate, pecan pie, espressoManufacturer: AJ Fernandez at Tabacalera Annex Privada Storytelling The Barrel Aged Edition #1 is where two worlds of craftsmanship collide—Kentucky bourbon heritage meets Nicaraguan cigar artistry. After our first exclusive bourbon collaboration, we convinced Heaven Hill Distillery to let us repurpose their seasoned barrels. These barrels had already held bourbon that Privada members savored—and then they gave new life by aging a cigar created by AJ Fernandez himself. This isn’t an infused cigar. It’s something more refined—tobacco aged in the very oak that once held rich, caramelized bourbon, then meticulously balanced with two-way humidification. The result? A cigar that speaks in whispers of bourbon without ever losing the soul of fine Nicaraguan leaf. Barrel Aged Edition #1 is proof that innovation, when paired with tradition, creates magic. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with toasted oak and a bourbon sweetness that’s subtle yet distinct. Notes of cedar and roasted nuts dance in harmony with faint spice. Second Third: The profile deepens with chocolate and caramel undertones, a velvety smoke that recalls the warmth of a fine pour of bourbon. Hints of vanilla and pepper arrive, adding layers of intrigue. Final Third: Rich earth, oak, and espresso dominate the finish, rounded by lingering sweetness and a bourbon barrel warmth that carries to the last puff. Why It Belongs in Privada Barrel Aged Edition #1 is an expression of what Privada does best—pioneering projects that no one else dares to attempt. This cigar isn’t about gimmicks, it’s about authentic collaboration between two masters of their craft. By bringing Heaven Hill barrels to Tabacalera Annex, we created a cigar unlike anything in the industry—exclusive, flavorful, and true to Privada’s relentless pursuit of originality.

Cerro Mogotón, Nicaragua’s tallest peak, straddles the misty border with Honduras—an untouched highland where mineral-rich soil and cold nights shape the tobacco of legends. This cigar is forged from that kind of altitude-driven attitude. It doesn’t whisper. It resonates—a bassline of earth, smoke, and black coffee that hangs in the chest like a prayer. Benavides is a family brand with deep roots in northern Nicaragua, and Mogotón Maduro is their flagship force. Cloaked in San Andrés darkness, it’s earthy but electric—like lava rock soaked in molasses. You don’t just smoke this cigar. You descend into it. The air changes. The light bends. And what begins as intensity gives way to revelation: the subtle sweetness of burnt sugar, the licorice twang of anise, and the grip of fine leather aged in volcanic silence. Flavor Journey First Third: Explodes with black pepper, espresso, and earthy grit; bold and unapologetic.Second Third: Dark chocolate and burnt sugar emerge, woven through with leather and jalapeño husk.Final Third: A slow fade into mineral notes, anise, and charred oak—dense, lingering, and clean. Why It Belongs in Privada This is not a crowd-pleaser—it’s a conviction. It’s a cigar that asks you to meet it halfway. The Mogotón Maduro isn't just strong, it’s structured, layered like the geological strata of the mountain it’s named for. And in the Privada universe, where rarity meets revelation, this cigar is a summit worth climbing. It represents the untapped boutique frontier—small-production, land-informed, intensely personal. A peak in a world of plateaus.

From Buffalo to global stages, his verses hit like raw street symphonies, blending mafioso grit with lyrical craft. For his 2024 album launch, Benny and his manager Chace Infinite wanted more than champagne bottles and velvet ropes. They wanted something timeless, something smokeable, something that would live in ash and ember. Enter Privada Cigar Club. Together, we created a cigar that speaks to Benny’s story—layered, diverse, and impossible to ignore.

This project is about hip-hop history meeting cigar heritage, a fusion of two crafts built on passion and authenticity. It belongs in Privada because it’s more than a cigar—it’s a cultural artifact.

Rolled by Chico Rivas—one of the most talented blenders in the Dominican Republic—this cigar sat forgotten in coolers for more than seven years. Originally created for a client who walked away, it now finds its rightful place in your hands. This cigar carries a piece of Chico’s defiance and pride. Known for his refusal to compromise, Chico has built a reputation for throwing out anyone who disrespects the leaf or the craft. That energy lives inside Big Snuff. With every draw, you’re smoking a story of perseverance, of a blender finally stepping into the light after years of doing the invisible work behind the curtain. Flavor Journey First Third: Cocoa and oats lead, with floral notes, oak, and a powdery chocolate smoke that caresses the palate. Bitter chocolate, raisins, and black pepper arrive, followed by a spiced fruit twang reminiscent of mango sprinkled with red pepper and lime.

Retrohale explodes with bitter chocolate, sugar, cream, and a peppery finish. Imagine lemon pepper dusted over chocolate and oak—that’s Big Snuff in its finale. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Privada doesn’t just chase cigars—we chase stories. This cigar embodies everything we stand for: rare tobacco, uncompromising artistry, and the belief that time transforms good cigars into legends. Big Snuff is not a rushed release or a rebrand. It’s seven years of waiting, resting, and becoming. And now it’s yours.

(Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The story of The Rio is as unexpected as it is delicious. Black Bird Cigar Co., already beloved by Privada members for releases like the Fast Eddie, reached out after seeing the wave of love you gave them. They had something special tucked away: a cigar they’d been smoking for themselves, crafted with a rare pairing of Brazilian wrapper and binder over Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Because of FDA restrictions, this blend could never be sold under their branding. For years, it just sat there in the Dominican Republic—resting, aging, and waiting. When I saw it, I knew instantly: this was Privada material. We gave it the name The Rio, with a ribbon design inspired by Christ the Redeemer, and what we ended up with is more than just a cigar—it’s a collectible, a statement, and an experience. Aged for over four years now, this cigar has matured into something almost Padron-esque, blending rich darkness with bursts of sweetness. Smoky, chocolaty, herbal, and floral—it’s a masterpiece rescued from obscurity and shared with those who understand. Flavor Journey First Third: Starts with a blast of bread, black pepper, chocolate, and charcoal. Sweet creamy smoke envelops flavors of dark cherry, raisin, cocoa, and leather. Hints of sarsaparilla root and dark brandy sweetness add intrigue. Second Third: Evolves into roasted nuts, prunes, espresso, cocoa, and salty peanuts. The floral notes peek through, joined by prune-like dried fruits and more earthy richness. Retrohale delivers black pepper and savory depth. Final Third: Flavors meld together beautifully—berries fade but sweetness lingers, freeze-dried fruit meets cocoa, charred wood, herbs, and salted peanuts. White pepper and bread notes on the finish create a savory, balanced close. Why It Belongs in Privada The Rio embodies what Privada is all about: uncovering blends the world would otherwise never see. It’s not just rare—it’s impossible outside of this club. A cigar made for personal enjoyment by Black Bird’s own team, aged patiently, and resurrected for Privada members. This cigar proves that some of the greatest treasures are hidden, waiting for the right moment to shine.

Black Label Trading Works Killer Bee Privada James Brown Exclusive Lonsdale Aged 3+ Years
Black Label Trading Works Killer Bee Privada James Brown Exclusive Lonsdale Aged 3+ Years Size: 6.5×44 LonsdaleVitola: LonsdaleWrapper: Ecuadorian MaduroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cocoa butter, peach juice, nut butter, peppermint oil, thyme, vanilla, butterscotch, cedar, frankincense, white florals, rosewater, almond butter, coffee candy, lemongrass, lemon, umami, cinnamon, roasted coffee, dried herbsPairing Notes: Rye bourbon, sarsaparilla soda, root beer, root beer barrel candy, medium roast coffee, bagel with cream cheese, milk chocolate pretzels, chocolate-covered strawberries, strawberry soda, strawberry ice cream, stout beer, peanutsManufacturer: Black Label Trading Works / Fabrica Oveja Negra (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Some cigars feel like personal triumphs. This is one of them. The Killer Bee Lonsdale you see here doesn’t exist on the market anymore. In fact, this was the exact size James Brown—the founder of Black Label Trading Works—kept for himself, smoking it at events but pulling it from shelves in 2020. Before it disappeared, though, he agreed to make and age a special batch just for Privada. James and Angela Brown, the husband-and-wife team behind Black Label, live in Nicaragua, running Fabrica Oveja Negra with a philosophy that mirrors their global life. James, a wine sommelier, and Angela, a world traveler, once owned a bar on a remote African beach before moving to Central America. Their journey led them to the heart of cigars, where they now craft some of the most cult-followed blends in the industry. This cigar is a slice of that cult history—aged over three years under Privada care and rolled at one of the most respected small factories in Nicaragua. Rich, creamy, and wildly complex, it’s an experience normally reserved for James himself, now brought to you in true Privada fashion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with cocoa butter, tobacco barn, and peach juice sweetness. The smoke has nut butter creaminess layered with peppermint oil, black pepper, thyme, vanilla, chocolate, and a syrupy butterscotch texture. Red mulch, frankincense, cedar, and instant hot chocolate join as the retrohale adds pepper and dried fruit tones. Second Third: Florals bloom—white petals, orange blossom, magnolia, and rosewater. Black pepper fades into white pepper, balancing almond butter, chocolate with almonds, and coffee candy. Lavender and mint peek in, while lemongrass appears as a phantom retrohale note. Smooth, tangy, and deeply floral. Final Third: Becomes vegetal and savory, with lemon zest, salt, umami butteriness, and cinnamon sweetness. Butterscotch shifts into simple syrup, with roasted coffee beans, dried herbs, cedar, and florals closing the experience. Tingling mouthfeel lingers to the finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada was built for moments like this: cigars you can’t get anywhere else, in sizes and ages the public never sees. The Killer Bee Lonsdale isn’t just rare—it’s intimate, pulled from James Brown’s own rotation and aged into something transcendent. It belongs in Privada because it embodies exclusivity, artistry, and story—a collector’s piece that also happens to smoke like a masterpiece.

(Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The Caballo 500 Lonsdale is named for Papo, a legendary torcedor known at Davidoff for rolling 500 cigars in a single eight-hour shift — a feat that earned him his place in cigar history.

Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged)

Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged) Size: 4.5×58 Box PressVitola: Short Gordo Box PressWrapper: Brazilian CubraBinder: IndonesianFillers: Pennsylvania Ligero, Corojo Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 SecoFlavor Notes: Leather, chocolate iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, roasted nuts, sage, rosemary, licorice, charred wood, black pepper, cinnamon gum, graham cracker, mineralityPairing Notes: Cappuccino, flan, roasted nuts, bourbon, whiskey, rye, apricot-peach iced tea, root beer barrel candy, cream soda, rum and coke, pork dishes, brie cheese, vanilla sundae with fudge and peanuts, red TwizzlersManufacturer: Blackbird Cigar Co. (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The Minnesota Fats is the grand finale of a saga that began with Fast Eddie and The Vince, each release a nod to the pool-hall legends of The Color of Money and its predecessor The Hustler. While Jackie Gleason’s portrayal of Minnesota Fats never made it into Scorsese’s sequel, his legend inspired the final chapter in this trilogy. A big man deserved a big ring gauge, and so we end on a bold, box-pressed 58. Each release in this series has been a study in how a simple change—length or width—reshapes an entire smoking experience. This cigar was blended at Blackbird by “Caballo,” a master roller once hailed as Davidoff’s fastest, producing a record-setting 500 cigars in an eight-hour shift. Caballo represents the unsung artisans of the craft cigar movement, those whose names seldom leave the factory floor but whose work shapes the culture we celebrate. Now, after five years of Privada-controlled aging, Minnesota Fats emerges as both a tribute and a farewell. It’s big, bold, complex, and unapologetically rich—fitting for the close of a story about legends. Flavor Journey First Third: The opening surprises with a sour cheese note off the body and chocolate chip cookies off the foot. The draw reveals Fig Newtons, dried apricot, and granola before shifting into leather, iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, light brown sugar, and gritty black pepper. Roasted nuts anchor the flavor while the retrohale bursts with cedar, black pepper, cashew, and sage. Second Third: The cigar evolves toward herbal brightness with sage, rosemary, and dried basil layered over salted mixed nuts, graham cracker, and minerality. Leather deepens, while retrohale sharpens into Big Red cinnamon gum, more sage, and a refreshing menthol coolness through the nose. Final Third: Darkness and depth define the finale. Hickory, charred oak, and cedar combine with sage, black licorice, and a stronger pepper core. The cigar finishes savory, woody, and bold—like the last shot in a high-stakes pool game. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada doesn’t just release cigars—it documents eras. The Minnesota Fats marks the conclusion of a trilogy that embodies storytelling through tobacco, showing how one blend can become three entirely different experiences simply by changing vitola. Aging it over five years has unlocked a new level of depth, making this cigar not only a celebration of craft but a capsule of Privada history. It stands as proof of why Privada matters: preserving moments, elevating artisans, and turning cigars into legends.

(Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling Some cigars honor history with grand gestures. Others do it with a whisper. The Blackbird Idalia 108 does both. Named after the grandmother of the company’s founders, Idalia lived to the remarkable age of 108 years, and she smoked at least one cigar every single day of her life. That kind of devotion to the leaf becomes a legacy—and this cigar carries it forward. Aged for over 2 years, the Idalia 108 isn’t loud or showy. Instead, it reflects what a lifetime of smoking teaches you: that true greatness lies in balance. This cigar doesn’t hammer the palate with one dominant note. It blends leather, woods, cream, and subtle spices into a seamless harmony, just as Idalia herself might have enjoyed during her daily ritual. This is a tribute cigar—not only to a woman who outlived a century but to the timeless beauty of tobacco when it’s crafted with purpose. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with leather, charred wood, black pepper, bread, and cream, joined by cocoa on the finish. Retrohale is smooth yet spicy with alternating waves of black and red pepper. Second Third: Settles into luxurious leather, cream, cocoa, dried herbs, and bread, with earthiness and faint vanilla sweetness emerging. Every note flows into the next without a single clash—a masterclass in balance. Final Third: Evolves with unique menthol cocoa, reminiscent of mint chocolate chip, alongside cola, earth, subtle minerals, and cream. Pepper lingers but softly, while the overall smoke remains smooth and cohesive. Why It Belongs in Privada The Idalia 108 belongs in Privada because it is a cigar of balance, history, and respect for the craft. In an industry often obsessed with pushing strength or novelty, this cigar reminds us that subtlety and harmony are just as powerful. Honoring a matriarch who lived her entire life by the leaf, the Idalia 108 is not just a cigar—it’s a legacy you can taste.

(Dominican Republic) A Smoke That Soars at Dusk The Blackbird Raven isn’t just another blend in a colorful portfolio—it’s the nocturnal heartbeat of the flock. Darker, moodier, more intense. And at its core is something rare: a Brazilian Cubra wrapper. Cubra is Cuba’s genetic legacy grown in Brazilian soil, delivering strength, sweetness, and mystery all in one leaf. This isn’t just a maduro alternative. It’s a whole different animal—an unlit alley lit by neon memory, a whisper of danger wrapped in elegance. From the first draw, Raven announces itself. Bold pepper. Charred wood. A snap of molasses on the back end. Then the deeper notes glide in—coffee bean, bitter chocolate, cinnamon dust. This is a cigar for the thinker, the night owl, the one chasing flavor at the edge of convention. It’s a flight into the dark with the kind of direction only Blackbird can map. Flavor Journey First Third: Immediate punch of black pepper and dark chocolate over dry oak and earth.Second Third: Cinnamon and molasses emerge, with a coffee core and silky retrohale.Final Third: Dried fig, cocoa bitterness, and toasted wood close out with quiet intensity and perfect combustion. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada has always leaned into the shadows—that place where forgotten tobaccos, misunderstood brands, and misunderstood people live. Blackbird’s Raven Cubra is a blend that walks in like it knows something the others don’t. It’s got depth, edge, and story. It uses Cubra, a wrapper few dare to feature, and makes it sing in harmony with filler regions that normally fight for dominance. It’s boutique daring in full flight—and that’s where Privada thrives.

Blanco No. 9 Aged 3+ Years
Blanco No. 9 Aged 3+ Years Size: 6×52 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan Habano OscuroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan long-fillersFlavor Notes: Licorice, charred oak, vanilla, white pepper, sandalwood, geranium florals, cane sugar, cinnamon, graham cracker, cream, faint margarine finishPairing Notes: Vanilla soda, red wine, rye whiskey, amber beers, rum and coke, white chocolate, graham cracker pie crust desserts, fried chicken, Privada At Home mixed drinkManufacturer: Blanco Cigars (Nicaragua, with Plasencia tobacco access) Privada Storytelling David Blanco is one of those figures in the cigar world who often flies under the radar, but his story is steeped in lineage and legacy. As the nephew of the Plasencia family, David has access to some of the most celebrated tobacco on Earth. Few realize that behind his humble demeanor lies the weight of an empire of leaf—tobaccos grown across continents, aged with patience, and blended with the precision of generations. When David approached Privada with a dozen experimental blends, it was like stepping into a vault of possibilities. After smoking through them live, the #5 and #9 stood out. Both extraordinary, both unique, yet each pulling in its own direction. The #9, with its smokier, bolder “cowboy” profile, demanded a platform. And here it is, aged three years, refined, and ready to show you what it’s made of. This isn’t just a cigar—it’s a dialogue between tradition and innovation, between family heritage and a blender forging his own path. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with licorice, charred oak, vanilla, white pepper, sandalwood, and florals, carried on a creamy, mineral-laced smoke. Salt and sweetness mingle, creating an earthy yet polished start. Second Third: Deepens with sandalwood, licorice root, cane sugar, and cinnamon, while hints of graham cracker creep in for a dessert-like texture. The balance is impeccable—creamy puffs tied together with white pepper and a soft floral thread. Final Third: Transitions into sandalwood, cream, cinnamon, faint florals, and simple syrup, before finishing with an unexpected note reminiscent of margarine. The end is both savory and sweet, leaving the palate satisfied but curious for more. Why It Belongs in Privada The Blanco No. 9 is a shining example of what Privada does best: pulling hidden gems out of obscurity and aging them to peak perfection. Without Privada, this blend may have never reached the audience it deserved. The extra years of controlled aging give it complexity and smoothness unmatched in the market. This cigar is more than just smoke—it’s proof of what happens when you combine Privada’s patience with a blender’s artistry.

Bonita Bonita Bonita Aged 3+ Years Made at Tabacalera La Isla
Bonita Bonita Bonita Aged 3+ Years – Tabacalera La Isla Size: 5×50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Mexican San AndrésBinder: Dominican RepublicFillers: Dominican RepublicFlavor Notes: Honey, coffee beans, leather, chocolate, cedar, raisins, salted popcorn, toasted almond, cream, vanilla bean, florals, black pepper, cardamom, citrus, stone fruits, brown sugar, browned butter, peanut shell, graham, aged cedar, cereal, white pepper, bread.Pairing Notes: Light roast coffee black, Lowland Scotch, VSOP Brandy, Cognac, floral teas, roasted nuts, crackers with goat cheese, dried cranberries, dried plums, dark chocolate-covered raisins, after fried chicken.Manufacturer: Tabacalera La Isla (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling Bonita Bonita Bonita comes to us from one of the most buzzed-about new factories in the Dominican Republic, Tabacalera La Isla, founded by Hostos Fernández Quesada. If the name sounds familiar, it should—Hostos is both the cousin of Terence Reilly of Aganorsa and the nephew of Manolo Quesada of Quesada Cigars. With a family lineage this rich in cigar heritage, Hostos took a bold step into independence, launching La Isla to craft cigars that combine tradition with modern flair. Privada was among the first to partner with La Isla, choosing this maduro blend from early test runs. The habano sibling cigar ended up in our playful “Cigars We Hate” program, but this San Andrés robusto was an instant love affair. Over 3 years of age have polished its flavors, showing just how serious La Isla is about quality. While other clubs rushed in later, we were first to stake our flag on the island—and Bonita Bonita Bonita remains one of the gems of that discovery. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a savory medley of salted popcorn, toasted almond, cream, vanilla bean, and fragrant cedar. Black pepper, cardamom, and delicate florals weave throughout, while the retrohale delivers subtle caramel, citrus brightness, and more florals over a cedar backbone. Second Third: Flavors deepen into stone fruits, stronger citrus, and a bouquet of florals. Umami elements emerge—brown sugar, browned butter, and a dash of vanilla—giving this portion a gourmand quality rarely found in a maduro robusto. Final Third: Peanut shell, honey graham, aged cedar, and cereal grains define the finale. White pepper tingles on the retrohale while bread and roasted notes close out the experience. A cigar full of dynamism, demanding patience and appreciation as it reveals layers of complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada Bonita Bonita Bonita is proof that Privada leads where others follow. Before La Isla became the industry darling, we were already placing Hostos’ work in members’ hands. This release is both a showcase of San Andrés maduro’s potential in Dominican craftsmanship and a testament to Privada’s commitment to finding brilliance before the rest of the world catches on. Aged over 3 years, it’s an introduction to the future of Dominican boutique cigars.
