BANG!—a warning shot to the senses. Kristoff Cigars is known for crafting full-bodied, unapologetic blends, but when Privada steps in, the results often push beyond what’s thought possible. The Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay is exactly that: a Lancero exclusive made for Privada members only, a bold experiment that went from a near-miss to a masterpiece. When this blend first landed, it was rough—fiery, unbalanced, even disappointing. We nearly wrote it off. But Privada’s patience is its secret weapon. After nearly a year of resting and proper aging, the Gunplay reemerged as something spectacular. What was once sharp became savory, sweet, and complex—a profile unlike any Kristoff before it. Named Gunplay for its risky move into a lancero format (Kristoff even warned it could be “dangerous”), this cigar has become one of the most unforgettable Privada exclusives to date. It doesn’t whisper its flavors; it kicks down the door with spice, sweetness, and umami. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dark toasted bread, minerals, dried figs, prunes, and red currant, balanced by red pepper and salt. A musty sweetness begins to layer in as the bread note anchors the foundation. Second Third: Things get wild—black cherry soda, teriyaki beef jerky, maple wood, and floral powdery smoke. The sensation is sweet, savory, and spicy, like the perfect bite of Chinese orange chicken fresh from the wok. Final Third: A crescendo of soy sauce, black cherry, orange zest, fried batter, red pepper oil, and charred wood, finishing with an earthy clay note. The spice lingers long after the last puff, demanding reflection on what you just smoked. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar proves the Privada philosophy: sometimes greatness just needs time. What began as a rough, almost unsmokeable cigar became, after patient aging, a spicy, savory, sweet revelation. Kristoff’s boldest blend in a daring vitola, exclusive to Privada, transformed into what may be one of the most unique cigars of the year. This is what we live for—the magic of aging, the thrill of risk, and the satisfaction of discovery.

Roll Call by Smoke Showing Crew
Our Connecticut Shade Robusto is the perfect cigar for any time of day. Its smooth and balanced profile makes it an ideal companion to a fresh cup of coffee — one of the many reasons we chose to call it Roll Call. If you’ve ever sat through roll call at the firehouse, you know there’s no shortage of coffee cups in hand. That’s why we incorporated a coffee cup into the band design — a nod to those early moments of camaraderie and connection. This cigar also pairs wonderfully with a lower-proof bourbon, allowing the subtle flavors of the cigar to shine without being overpowered. The name Roll Call also reflects what cigars are all about — gathering with friends and family, sharing stories, updates, and enjoying meaningful moments together. Much like the start of a shift, lighting up this cigar sets the tone for good conversation and connection. We hope you enjoy Roll Call as much as we do. Roll Call in the Fire Service: In the fire service, “roll call” refers to the formal process of accounting for personnel at the start of a shift or during emergency operations. Its roots trace back to early military traditions, where accountability and readiness were critical to mission success. As organized fire departments emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in cities like London and New York, the need for structured routines—including shift changes, equipment checks, and crew accountability—became essential. Roll call typically occurs at the beginning of a firefighter’s shift. It ensures that all assigned personnel are present, properly equipped, and briefed on duties, station conditions, apparatus status, and any special instructions. It also reinforces discipline, preparedness, and team cohesion. Today, while some departments use digital accountability systems, the tradition of roll call remains a foundational practice that underscores the fire service’s core values: readiness, responsibility, and brotherhood.

Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years
Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut ShadeBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Pie crust, honey, toasted cereal, black pepper, butter, golden almond, cedar, whipped cream, orange essencePairing Notes: Peach pie, Honeycomb cereal, coffee, powdered sugar donuts, yellow cake, croissant, scotch, breakfast sausage, waffles, honey, orange tea, Blue Moon with an orange slice, butterscotchManufacturer: Tabacalera Chalet (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Las Palomitas is one of those Privada discoveries that proves why this community exists. The story begins in Estelí, Nicaragua, when I was visiting my brother AJ Fernandez. Instead of staying put in the factory, we decided to cruise through town. We ended up at a soccer field where factory workers from across Estelí gather to play, talk, and escape the rolling tables for a bit. Curious stares turned into conversation when my guide told them who I was: el gringo puro—the gringo obsessed with cigars. After a few laughs and cervezas, some of the men revealed they’d been quietly rolling their own cigars in a makeshift chinchalle—a tiny factory set up in what used to be a restaurant. Six rolling stations, dim light, and an aging room that shocked me: thousands of perfectly rolled Connecticut Shade sticks stacked and waiting. They handed me one. I lit it. Within minutes, I knew I had stumbled onto something special. Right then, a deal was made, and history was written. This cigar isn’t about polish or pretense—it’s about pure passion. It’s about the underdogs of Estelí, the ones rolling cigars after their shifts at the big factories, building their dream one leaf at a time. When you smoke the Las Palomitas, you’re not just tasting tobacco—you’re tasting hustle, community, and a little rebellion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with pie crust, butter, and sugar, immediately giving off a warm pastry quality. A blast of black and red pepper retrohale kicks things up, while whipped cream and toasted cereal ride underneath. Notes of cedar and golden almond appear, creating a sweet-savory balance. Second Third: The sweetness intensifies into something like wet powdered sugar. Cedar turns slightly piney, while hints of Malibu coconut rum sneak into the profile. Pie crust, honey, hay, and cream dominate, supported by a mellower black pepper. Final Third: Still pastry-like with dominant notes of crust and butter. Honey and roasted almond develop into something reminiscent of Honeycomb cereal. Creamy smoke lingers with touches of orange zest, fried sweetness, and cedar. The finish is syrupy and golden, both comforting and addictive. Why It Belongs in Privada This is Privada at its best—an underground discovery that no one else could have brought to light. A cigar that sat quietly in a shadowy chinchalle, waiting for someone to believe in it. A cigar that tells the story of Estelí’s workers creating something for themselves, outside the spotlight of the big factories. By sharing Las Palomitas with our members, we celebrate not only the flavor but the audacity of these craftsmen to carve their own path.

The result is The Reinier Lorenzo Masterpiece — a study in flavor, skill, and tradition that invites Privada and LCA members to discover how one change can create a world of difference. This release marks a milestone for Reinier. Born in Cuba and now rooted in Nicaragua, he has established himself as one of the most talented blenders of his generation. His years with Aganorsa sharpened his mastery, and now, with his own factory, he is writing a new chapter. This Habano-wrapped masterpiece is a nod to classic Cuban style — elegant, powerful, and full of tradition — while also hinting at the exciting innovations Reinier has in store for the future. Flavor Journey First Third: Sweet cedar and cream dominate the opening, accented with hay, black pepper, red pepper, and a surprising Tabasco-like spice. Notes of vanilla barrel and dried basil begin to layer in complexity. Second Third: The body evolves into salty umami, cedar, and toasted wheat crust. Creamy smoke coats the palate with hints of ginger snap and vanilla, creating a warm and comforting middle act. Final Third: The finish builds toward sweet dried pear, peach, and oak with a touch of cedar. A fruity tang reminiscent of golden raisins emerges, lifted by citrus and softened pepper, leaving a balanced, harmonious close.

A fictitious cigar in a high-stakes world of espionage and danger. What most did not expect was that this cinematic mystery would find new life in reality, brought forth by Privada and the industry’s most revered Dominican master blender. This release is more than a cigar; it is a cornerstone in cigar history. Delectados marks the very first production from the newly opened Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera, a factory already whispered about with awe long before its doors officially opened. Though legal considerations prevent us from using the legendary blender’s name outright, connoisseurs know exactly whose hands shaped this masterpiece. To hold and light a Delectados is to bridge fantasy and reality, to savor a creation that unites Hollywood mystique with Dominican heritage. And, as Brian Desind himself said, “this is one of the most special cigars we have ever been a part of.” Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with silky cedar, cream, and toasted almond. Gentle honey sweetness lingers while a citrus zest teases the palate. The retrohale introduces a refined white pepper. Second Third: The body grows richer with layers of oak, caramelized sugar, and dried fruit. A warm, nutty character blends with Dominican florals, balancing sweetness and spice. Final Third: Complexity deepens into roasted coffee bean, cocoa, and spiced leather, with a return of citrus and honey weaving through a creamy, elegant finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Delectados is not only a rare release—it is a once-in-history event. The first cigar ever produced at Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera, it represents the dawn of a new era for Dominican tobacco. The fact that this blend will never be made again cements its status as a collector’s treasure. Privada exists to uncover these moments of cigar history and place them directly in the hands of those who appreciate them most.

Few releases embody that better than The Shit Show Crew Maduro Lonsdale. This cigar honors some of the longest-standing Privada members: a tight-knit group of Midwest brothers bound by the leaf, by laughter, and by nights that turn into legends. Their most infamous gathering took place in New Orleans—a city of jazz, spirits, and chaos. A night that was, by every definition, a shit show. This release commemorates that memory not with solemnity but with celebration. Rolled by AJ Fernandez, the King of Nicaraguan tobacco, it channels both the madness of the night and the artistry of true craft. Aged for over three years, it has transformed into an elegant, flavorful experience that pays homage not only to the Shit Show Crew but to every Privada member who knows what it means to turn nights into stories. Flavor Journey First Third: Rawhide, saddle leather, peach, and barnyard aromas precede flavors of black soy sauce, molasses, florals, and candied orange. Retrohale brings black pepper, candied fruit, leather, and dried florals. Chocolate and apricot sneak in as the profile expands. Second Third: Chocolate deepens, candied orange sharpens, and malted toastiness emerges. Retrohale shifts to red pepper, supported by toasted nuts and cereal. Balance builds between sweetness, spice, and richness. Final Third: Black coffee with sugar dominates, joined by florals, herbs, and an unexpected burst of sour Sprees candy. Red pepper retro persists alongside dried cherries, tart citrus, and oak, closing the experience with a sweet-sour twist that elevates the finale. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on turning personal stories into collective experiences. This cigar is proof. The Shit Show Crew may be just four members from the Midwest, but their bond represents the essence of Privada: community, loyalty, and memories forged in smoke. AJ Fernandez created this cigar not only as a masterpiece in broadleaf blending but also as a celebration of people, place, and story. That’s why it belongs here—because Privada cigars are more than smokes; they’re chapters in our shared history.

El Diablo Del Desierto Aged 4+ Years
El Diablo Del Desierto Aged 4+ Years Size: 6×52 Toro (format inferred from release style)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Mexican HabanoBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Black pepper, cedar, dried apple, vanilla, cola syrup, candied nuts, cinnamon, butterscotch, caramel, Red Hot candy, mild curry spicePairing Notes: Butterscotch, Coca-Cola, bourbon, rye whiskey, vanilla coffee, orange oolong tea, ginger candy, apple pie, apple pie moonshine, ales, dried fruits, whipped cream, sushi, Thai foodManufacturer: Purple Sky (Mexico) Privada Storytelling Some cigars come from polished factories with generations of prestige behind them. Others come from the underground—raw, unpredictable, and somehow all the more alluring. El Diablo Del Desierto, created by Purple Sky Cigars, falls firmly into the latter. Purple Sky was formed by three unlikely cigar makers: Hector, once an ex-dealer turned spiritual seeker; Tommy, an ex-addict with frenetic energy; and Paul, a jokester with warmth and wit. Together, they turned their chaotic pasts into a mysterious brand inspired by Breaking Bad. Their mascot—El Diablo—is a figure spotted on murals and whispered about in the Southwest, always with an air of myth. When I first heard about this cigar, I expected a San Andrés wrapper (Mexico’s classic export). But instead, I was floored: a Mexican Habano wrapper, something I had never encountered. What followed was a smoke unlike any other—strange, complex, unforgettable. Delivered by hand from Mexico (in exchange for Bitcoin, no less), this release is shrouded in myth and mystery. Yet the truth is undeniable: it’s a masterpiece that shouldn’t exist, and it may never be made again. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with black pepper, cedar, dried apple chips, vanilla, and leather, wrapped in cola syrup sweetness. Retrohale explodes with baked cinnamon and warm apple pie notes. A strange yet delicious sweetness lingers, like whipped meringue or sugar cane. Second Third: Heavy cedar dominates with dried fig, candied almond, and simple syrup. Vanilla runs through it, balanced by buttered bread and charred wood. Retrohale delivers candied ginger, cola, and spice. Final Third: Intensifies into butterscotch, caramel, Red Hot candy, cumin, curry-like spice, turmeric, and charred cedar. Musty leather and woody undertones frame the finish, leaving a savory, sweet, and fiery crescendo. Why It Belongs in Privada El Diablo Del Desierto belongs in Privada because it represents the very edge of cigar exploration—something so rare, so unique, it may never be recreated. From its mysterious origins to its one-of-a-kind Mexican Habano wrapper, this cigar defies expectation. Privada exists to bring you the impossible, and this cigar is living proof that sometimes the best blends come from the most unlikely hands.
