El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja
El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja Size: 5 x 50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Red wine spice, oak, dark fruit, cedar, earth, leather, subtle sweetnessPairing Notes: Rioja wine, tempranillo, espresso, dark rum Privada Storytelling El Septimo does not make quiet cigars. The Culinary Art Collection was built around the idea that tobacco could interact with the world of fine dining and luxury beverages the same way wine interacts with food. Spain Rioja takes that concept directly into the heart of Spanish winemaking. This 5 x 50 robusto was inspired by the bold character of Rioja reds, with tobacco aged in Rioja barrels to absorb subtle wine driven nuances without turning the cigar into a gimmick. The goal was structure, spice, and depth, not artificial sweetness. The result is a cigar that feels rich and layered while still remaining approachable. This is not a flavored cigar.It is a cigar shaped by environment and aging. Flavor Journey The opening introduces oak, earth, and red fruit spice with a warm, wine like richness sitting underneath the smoke. As the cigar develops, cedar and leather begin building structure while subtle sweetness rounds the sharper edges. Midway, dark fruit and spice become more pronounced, creating a profile that mirrors the layered depth of Rioja wine without overpowering the tobacco itself. The final third settles into oak, earth, and lingering warmth with a balanced finish that stays smooth despite the cigar’s full bodied nature. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is an example of barrel influence done with restraint. Spain Rioja is not trying to imitate wine. It is trying to complement it. The aging process adds character and texture while allowing the cigar to remain tobacco first. That balance is exactly what makes it interesting. Production Notes Part of El Septimo’s Culinary Art Collection inspired by global culinary and beverage traditions. Tobacco aged in Rioja wine barrels to develop additional aroma and complexity. Rated 90 points in Cigar Aficionado’s September 2025 issue.

The King Sargon Connecticut Robusto takes the same historic inspiration as its Maduro counterpart but approaches it differently. Refined instead of aggressive. Balanced instead of overwhelming. Part of the limited crossover between El Septimo’s Emperor Collection and Gilgamesh Collection, this cigar was originally reserved for the King Sargon Humidor release before becoming available individually. The goal here was not power. It was control. The Connecticut Shade wrapper completely changes the experience. Instead of density and dark intensity, this version leans creamy, smooth, and composed while still carrying the structure El Septimo is known for. The smaller 4 1/4 x 54 robusto format keeps the profile concentrated, allowing the creaminess and sweetness to stay focused from beginning to end. This is luxury through restraint. Flavor Journey The opening delivers roasted nuts, cedar, and soft vanilla cream with an effortless draw and smooth smoke output. Early sweetness stays delicate, never overpowering the cigar’s structure. Midway, toasted bread and subtle spice begin to develop, adding depth while maintaining balance. The Connecticut wrapper keeps the smoke silky and refined throughout. The final third settles into cream, cedar, and lingering sweetness, finishing clean and relaxed without losing flavor. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this proves luxury cigars do not need brute strength to leave an impression. The King Sargon Connecticut Robusto focuses on texture, balance, and refinement. It is a cigar built for smokers who appreciate smoothness executed correctly, without sacrificing depth or craftsmanship.

El Septimo – King Sargon Maduro Robusto Size: 4 1/4 x 54Vitola: RobustoWrapper: MaduroBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Dark chocolate, espresso, leather, toasted oak, black pepper, dried fruit, earthPairing Notes: Cognac, espresso, barrel proof bourbon, dark rum Privada Storytelling King Sargon was not just a ruler. He is widely considered one of the first emperors in recorded human history, building the Akkadian Empire thousands of years ago and changing how power itself was understood. El Septimo chose that name carefully because this cigar was built to feel commanding from the first draw. The Maduro Robusto is the most concentrated version in the crossover release between El Septimo’s Emperor Collection and the Gilgamesh Collection. Unlike the larger formats, this 4 1/4 x 54 size compresses the blend and intensifies the delivery. Thick smoke. Dense texture. Immediate impact. This is not a cigar trying to ease into itself. It arrives fully formed. Wrapped in a dark Maduro leaf and produced under El Septimo’s aging philosophy, the cigar balances aggression with refinement. The profile is powerful, but the construction keeps it smooth and controlled. Flavor Journey The opening delivers dark chocolate, espresso, and black pepper immediately, creating a dense and full introduction. As the cigar develops, leather and toasted oak begin to settle into the core, giving the smoke more structure. Midway, dried fruit sweetness and earth begin balancing the darker profile, while the retrohale brings sharper spice and intensity. The final third stays rich and commanding, finishing with lingering cocoa, pepper, and oak. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is excess with purpose. The King Sargon Maduro Robusto does not try to be subtle. It was designed as a luxury full bodied experience built around intensity, concentration, and long aged tobacco. The smaller robusto format makes that profile even more focused. That commitment to the idea is exactly why it belongs in Privada.

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – Michelangelo
El Septimo – Michelangelo Size: PerfectoVitola: PerfectoWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Black pepper, leather, mineral earth, burnt coffee, charred oak, spicePairing Notes: Espresso, peated scotch, barrel proof bourbon, dark roast coffee Privada Storytelling Michelangelo was never meant to be easy. Named after one of history’s greatest artists, this cigar was built around intensity, structure, and discipline. Like the sculptor himself, it demands patience and rewards those willing to give it attention. From the first light, Michelangelo announces itself with force. Strong spice, dense smoke, and a profile that immediately leans darker and sharper than most luxury cigars. But beneath that aggression is precision. The Perfecto format matters here. It concentrates the opening, tightens the smoke, and forces the blend to evolve as the body widens. Every transition feels intentional. Every shift in flavor feels carved rather than blended. This is not a casual cigar.It is a cigar that asks for focus. Flavor Journey The opening hits with black pepper and sharp spice, immediately followed by mineral earth and leather. The narrower foot intensifies the first third, creating a dense and focused delivery. As the cigar opens into the wider body, burnt coffee and charred oak begin to emerge, adding weight and bitterness that balance the spice. The smoke becomes thicker and more textured while maintaining structure. The final third leans fully into dark roast character, with leather, earth, and lingering burnt espresso carrying through a long, dramatic finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this cigar commits completely to its identity. Michelangelo does not soften itself for accessibility. It is bold, spicy, and demanding from beginning to end. Cigars like this divide smokers, and that is exactly why they matter. Privada respects cigars with conviction. Production Notes Part of El Septimo’s artist inspired luxury portfolio. Handmade in Costa Rica using extensively aged tobaccos and produced in a Perfecto format to emphasize progression and structural evolution throughout the smoke.

Owned by Sandy Cobas, this boutique factory is legendary for employing only level 9 Cuban rollers, ensuring every cigar reflects the techniques and elegance of true Cuban tradition. Triple caps, Cuban-style construction, meticulous handwork—El Titan is as much a cultural treasure as it is a factory. The Sumatra Lancero LE is a testament to what happens when tradition meets daring choice. Sumatra has long been considered an underrated wrapper, capable of delivering a refined, aromatic smoke. Rolled with painstaking care and aged for over four years under Privada’s stewardship, this cigar is delicate yet bold, floral yet spiced, balanced yet expressive. The fact that El Titan de Bronze remains the most expensive factory in the U.S. to produce cigars makes this release even more special. It’s a true luxury experience, crafted in the heart of Miami but steeped in global tradition. Every puff is both a celebration of heritage and an affirmation of why Privada exists: to give members access to the best of the best. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a bouquet of florals, cedar, and oak. Salt and pepper season the palate while the retrohale introduces dried fruits and red pepper. Smoke is powdery and clean, finishing with herbal root notes. Second Third: Creamier textures arrive with buttery richness. Cedar and florals intertwine with sarsaparilla root and cinnamon. Retrohale becomes sugary and floral, with vanilla and almond adding subtle sweetness. The smoke feels effervescent, almost soda-like, elevating the experience. Final Third: Cinnamon and sarsaparilla carry through, joined by florals and oak. Retrohale smooths into oaky spice with hints of sweetness, while the smoke melds into a harmonious climax of flowers, wood, and gentle spice. Balanced, ethereal, and deeply satisfying. Why It Belongs in Privada El Titan de Bronze is where heritage lives. Producing cigars here costs double or triple compared to factories abroad, which is why so few attempt it. But Privada members demand more than convenience—they demand history, artistry, and perfection. The Sumatra Lancero LE embodies that ethos, marrying Cuban tradition with Privada’s aging philosophy. With over four years of rest, it is not just a cigar; it is an experience of rarity, heritage, and patience.

For decades, he was the blending mastermind behind Davidoff, crafting some of the most celebrated cigars in modern history. After departing in 2017, he continued his journey with the rebirth of Delectados, a brand whispered about in cigar folklore and immortalized on the silver screen in James Bond films. With Privada, Eladio revives the magic—only this time, it’s unbanded. The Unbanded Delectados is as much a statement as it is a cigar. Rolled in paper moulds, a technique once reserved for Spanish royalty, it reminds us of a time when the most precious cigars carried no band at all, meant only for those “in the know.” This release captures that timeless mystique, offering a holiday smoke steeped in tradition, luxury, and storytelling only Eladio could deliver. Flavor Journey First Third: A lush entry of molasses, dried cherry, and oak. Velvety smoke carries white pepper, dried fruits, and flashes of cardamom with a kiss of orange liqueur. Pinewood sap lingers in the background, building intrigue. Second Third: The body swells with sugar cane sweetness and ripe plum. Vanilla threads through the retrohale, where a nostalgic candy note—like Sprees—reminds you this is Eladio at his most playful and complex. Final Third: A crescendo of golden raisin, white pepper, and cinnamon. The smoke turns chocolatey and creamy, blending seamlessly with fruitcake-like layers of spice, sweetness, and oak. A true holiday feast for the palate. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on exclusivity, history, and authenticity—and the Unbanded Delectados is all three. This is Eladio Diaz at his most personal, crafting something that transcends a cigar and becomes a moment in time. The unbanded look and the ancient rolling method speak to connoisseurs who value the story as much as the smoke. It’s not just a cigar, it’s a lesson in heritage, blending, and restraint.

Espinosa Cigars Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition Aged 4+ Years
Espinosa Cigars Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition Aged 4+ Years Size: 6×52 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: Undisclosed (Espinosa LE Selection)Binder: UndisclosedFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Bourbon oak, barnyard funk, ripe tobacco, maple syrup, milk chocolate, red pepper, toast, wheat, citrus “Sprite” zing, Fruit Loops, graham cracker, fennel, honeysuckle, vanilla, saltPairing Notes: Hershey’s chocolate kisses, butterscotch, cinnamon crumb cake, Fruit Loops, graham crackers, red wine, cognac, bourbon, scotch (non-smoky), Werther’s Originals, root beer, espresso with sugarManufacturer: Espinosa Cigars (La Zona Factory, Estelí Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Espinosa Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition is more than just a cigar—it’s a recognition of the truth. For years, we’ve seen cigar names tied to Havana, Cuba, and old-world romanticism. But the reality is different. In modern America, the heart of the cigar trade flows through Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, and Doral, Florida. If you’ve ever ordered cigars, chances are they’ve passed through this Cuban-American enclave before they reached your hands. When Privada’s Brian posed the question to Erik Espinosa—“Why doesn’t anyone call their cigar the Hialeah?”—Erik laughed. Then he rolled up his sleeves and did it. This blend is a love letter to the area that represents the modern cigar epicenter, where the Cuban spirit thrives outside Havana, built on grit, family, and tradition. Espinosa himself embodies the story: a tough, stout Cuban from the streets who turned passion and hard work into a multi-million-dollar cigar empire. The Hialeah Gardens LE is not just about heritage—it’s about truth becoming tradition. And this cigar, aged 4+ years, delivers that truth in every puff. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with deep oak, red pepper, toast, wheat, and a citrus zing (“Sprite”). Smoke is creamy, retrohale blasts black pepper, and phantom Fruit Loops cereal sweetness appears. Notes of leather, cereal grain, and maple syrup richness add depth. Second Third: Evolves with tobacco richness, leather, fruity zing, oak, graham cracker, and fennel spice. Creaminess ties it together, balancing sweet, tart, and savory. Retrohale remains peppery with a clean cereal finish. Final Third: Closes with honeysuckle, toast, dank oak, vanilla, and salt. Pepper fades to a salty zing, while wheat and florals create a creamy, clean finish. Balanced and elegant, it feels like a culmination of aged, harmonized tobaccos. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar belongs in Privada because it tells a story of modern cigar reality. While Cuba gets all the romance, Hialeah Gardens is the true lifeblood of today’s cigar industry. This limited edition is a nod to that, crafted by one of Miami’s own, Erik Espinosa. It’s rare, aged, and bold enough to carry the name of the city where the cigar world truly converges.

Espinosa Cigars Espinosa Murcielago Anatomy Of A Bat

But Privada wanted to take it further, to dissect the anatomy of the bat itself. Thus, the Murciélago Anatomy Of A Bat was born: a collaboration between Erik Espinosa, his master blender Hector Alfonso, and Privada Cigar Club. Released in time for Halloween, this project deconstructs the Murciélago blend, offering puro “test cigars” that separate seco, viso, and ligero. It’s not just a cigar release—it’s an education in tobacco anatomy, an interactive deep dive into how a world-class cigar is built. For those who joined Erik, Hector, and Brian live on Privada’s YouTube channel for the unveiling, it wasn’t just a launch—it was a masterclass in flavor and construction. Flavor Journey Seco: Delicate, aromatic, mild in strength. Notes of earth, cedar, and subtle floral sweetness, prized for its combustibility. Viso: Middle priming, more body and complexity. Offers cocoa, dried fruit, and a steady backbone of flavor. Ligero: The powerhouse. Pepper, espresso, and dark spice drive intensity, adding strength and long-lasting character. Complete Blend (Murciélago): When united, the tobaccos create a rich, medium-bodied masterpiece: earth, cocoa, espresso, cedar, and a crescendo of pepper spice balanced by San Andrés sweetness. Why It Belongs in Privada No other cigar club would dare to break apart a famous blend and share its inner workings with the world. Privada thrives on education, storytelling, and insider access, and the Anatomy Of A Bat epitomizes that mission. It belongs in Privada because it is exclusive, experimental, and unforgettable—giving members both a sensory experience and an education that elevates them as smokers.
