This cigar began its journey in a small Jalapa factory, discovered by Jorge of Tampeño Cigars, who knew immediately it belonged in Privada’s vault. While rough-edged when first found, it has since been transformed into a refined masterpiece through two years of factory age and three additional years under the Privada Method—balanced coolers, two-way humidity control, and obsessive oversight. The name “La Lealtad” translates to “The Loyalty,” and this cigar embodies exactly that: loyalty to the craft, loyalty to tobacco’s natural rhythms, and loyalty to the smoker who craves flavors only time can create. Packaged under Deadstock Cigar Company, this release honors Privada’s mission of breathing new life into aged blends originally destined for other brands. What you hold is more than a cigar—it’s a story of resurrection, patience, and the kind of balance that only years of care can achieve.

Lemon balm lingers on the finish, while cedar aging room notes and roasted sesame seed emerge on the retrohale. Dry yet rich, the age immediately shows. Second Third: The pepper recedes, and an unusual yet captivating clay-like note emerges—sometimes fruity, sometimes like strawberry Laffy Taffy. Creamy smoke balances the dryness, while dried fruits and tangy finishes elevate the profile to Cuban-like sophistication. Final Third: The entire flavor orchestra melds into one harmonious experience. Cream, cedar, fruit, and spice merge seamlessly, embodying the very definition of balance. The years of professional aging culminate in a cigar that transcends its parts and speaks only as a whole. Why It Belongs in Privada La Lealtad demonstrates the power of patience. In a world where cigars are rushed to shelves, this cigar proves what only Privada dares to show: that proper age can make Nicaraguan tobacco rival the elegance and refinement of Cuba. This is why Privada exists—to uncover, protect, and elevate rare gems like this into the hands of our members.

Produced over six years ago by Joya de Nicaragua for a well-known figure whose name remains confidential, this cigar’s story is as much about time as it is about tobacco. Initially stored in a Naples, Florida warehouse for three years before finding their way to Privada, these cigars weren’t an immediate hit. In fact, they sat untouched for another two and a half years—until a quiet Saturday morning revealed just how magical proper aging can be. When the coolers were opened, the unmistakable scent of peat rose like smoke from an Islay scotch, a revelation of what six years had done. What began as a cigar of promise had transformed into a masterpiece of balance and depth, reminding us why we chase age and why Privada exists: to unlock experiences others overlook. This is not just a cigar—it’s an evolution, proof that patience and faith in the leaf always pays off. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with aged oak, moss, peat, and citrus, rounded by cream and black tea. Quickly evolves into powdered sugar, dried fruit, and soft florals. A sensation like thick French toast with cinnamon syrup emerges, sweet yet earthy, with velvety smoke. Second Third: The wood sharpens into aged cedar, the cinnamon lingers with warmth, and baked apple flavors appear. Creamy and balanced, the cigar hums with a harmony only professional aging can create. Final Third: Aged wood, baked fruit, and cinnamon dominate the finish. Creamy smoke softens into refinement, while the retrohale delivers oak, white pepper, florals, and a bouquet of truly matured tobaccos. This is age at its pinnacle. Why It Belongs in Privada The 200 is an example of why Privada exists—to discover, to wait, and to share cigars others might dismiss. What was once passed over has now become an exquisite demonstration of the Privada method of aging. It embodies the spirit of experimentation, the chase for balance, and the reward of patience. For members, this is more than a cigar: it’s a reminder that some of the best things come to those who wait.

Purple Sky Cigars isn’t your typical boutique outfit—it’s run by three men with turbulent pasts, each carrying the weight of redemption and grit. Hector found faith behind prison walls, Tommy shakes with nervous energy but channels it into passion, and Paul—the road warrior with sharp humor—drove a white van across the country for 45 hours straight, cigar delivery in tow, refusing even food or rest. There’s a raw honesty in Purple Sky’s story, and it seeps into the cigars they make. These aren’t the polished offerings from massive factories. They’re scrappy, daring, imperfectly perfect smokes born of determination and survival. El Diablo Maduro, with its dark wrapper and rebellious heart, is exactly the kind of cigar Privada embraces: a reminder that passion can come from unexpected places. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dried stone fruits like plum and apricot layered over rich chocolate and cream. Sweet cedar, leather, and a berry tang splash across the tongue while hints of charred wood linger on the finish. Second Third: Chocolate remains at the core, joined by faint Italian herbs, brioche-like breadiness, cream, and bursts of white pepper. The retrohale glows with aging-room cedar and fruit sweetness. Final Third: A crescendo of golden raisins, blueberries, chocolate, cream, and cedar, capped by a spicy black pepper finish. Smoke remains creamy and balanced, leaving the palate stained with dessert-like richness. Why It Belongs in Privada El Diablo Maduro isn’t polished—it’s raw, it’s edgy, and it’s born of real people who clawed their way back from chaos. Privada thrives on these stories: cigars that come not only with flavor but with grit, struggle, and redemption in their DNA. Smoking this cigar isn’t just about savoring chocolate and fruit—it’s about lighting up a piece of the human condition.

Midwest Misfits The Twins
Midwest Misfits The Twins Size: 6×52 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Toasted oak, dark spice, leather, cocoa, charred sweetnessPairing Notes: Pair with rye whiskey, espresso, or a dark stout for intensity; or contrast with a sweet port or cola syrup cocktailManufacturer: Undisclosed Privada Storytelling Chapter 3 The Twins Los Angeles, Spring 1959. The Midwest Misfits saga twists further with the arrival of Vito and Arnie, brothers bound by blood and chaos. Chicago’s bitter cold was no place for them, so the City of Angels became their stage—a city they ruled with scams, muscle, and madness. Vito was the cold mathematician, tallying dollars and bodies with equal precision. Arnie was raw force, carrying out justice as only he knew it: brutal, quick, and final. Their legend began when fire consumed their family home, sparked by hooch and reckless hands. When their parents tried to discipline them, the story ended with the first two notches on their bodybag list. From there, the twins became legends of loyalty, violence, and twisted fate. Now the Misfits’ path demands their particular brand of crazy. They are chess pieces that tip the board, allies who blur the line between salvation and disaster. This cigar is their essence: dark, dangerous, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Leather and charred oak dominate, cut with sharp black pepper and a hint of cocoa powder. The smoke is dense, heavy, and uncompromising. Second Third: Dark spice rises—clove and anise mingle with roasted nuts and bittersweet chocolate. A faint molasses sweetness flickers against the fire. Final Third: A crescendo of leather, espresso, and charred wood, with spice biting harder until the finish. A long, gritty aftertaste lingers like ash after arson. Why It Belongs in Privada The Twins aren’t just a story—they’re a warning, a reminder that the world of cigars isn’t built only on refinement and elegance. Sometimes it’s about grit, survival, and a little bit of madness. By immortalizing these characters in cigar form, Privada brings storytelling to life, making every puff a chapter in a living novel of crime, loyalty, and consequence.

La Domita is one of those moments. Haitian tobacco has been whispered about for years, a mysterious and seldom-seen leaf that rarely makes it into international blends. When the opportunity arose to secure a small batch crafted by none other than Claudio Sgroi and Edgar Sued—two artisans whose fingerprints are all over the modern boutique renaissance—we didn’t hesitate. This cigar is more than rare—it’s experimental artistry. Imagine stepping into an ancient forest after a rainstorm, damp moss underfoot, with distant aromas of cocoa, herbs, and oak drifting through the mist. That’s the world La Domita inhabits. It doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t try to replicate Nicaragua or the DR. Instead, it delivers something alien, exotic, and unforgettable. This is the kind of experience that redefines what tobacco can be. Flavor Journey First Third: Oak, molasses, white pepper, minerally earth, and cocoa open the show. A damp mustiness, like moss and forest floor, gives way to vanilla, dried fruit, and thyme. Espresso, butter, and rye flavors create a savory-sweet depth. Second Third: Chocolate and yellow florals rise to the forefront. White pepper lingers on the retrohale while moss, herbs, molasses, and oak continue to ground the profile. A berry-like spirit note—reminiscent of barrel-aged whiskey—adds intrigue. Sweet-Tart candy edges the palate. Final Third: Intensifies with sarsaparilla root, floral perfume, vanilla, oak, white pepper, and forest floor. Notes of molasses, Sprees candy, peat, and fruit leather bring the cigar to a layered and luxurious close. Why It Belongs in Privada La Domita is a time capsule of experimentation—a cigar that reveals what happens when master blenders are given rare tobaccos most of the world will never smoke. It’s the kind of small-run masterpiece that only Privada can bring forward: equal parts luxury, rarity, and discovery. For collectors, it’s a piece of history. For smokers, it’s a sensory adventure unlike anything else.
