During the chaos of the PCA convention and the rivalries that surrounded it, Privada Cigar Club carved out a space for resilience and innovation. Despite pressures from industry titans and the weight of cease-and-desist letters, Privada pressed forward — unafraid, unapologetic, and unwilling to be silenced. Crafted in the Dominican Republic, this cigar was aged for 60+ days in authentic bourbon barrels sourced from the famed MGP Distillery, bridging two worlds: the artistry of tobacco and the richness of bourbon.

Originally crafted for a wealthy Spaniard’s high-profile brand, the wrapper leaf’s slightly dry appearance led to its rejection. Yet here, in the Privada vaults, perfection is not judged by vanity but by essence. This cigar was saved, aged for four years, and reborn with bands that nod to Cuban heritage while showcasing original Privada characters—like a toothy Popeye-inspired figure in gold—our playful response to industry critics. This is Costa Rican craftsmanship at its peak, delivering a Cuban-style smoking experience that feels both nostalgic and disruptive. Junito is not just another cigar—it’s an ongoing conversation between old-world tradition and new-world creativity. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a curious, almost provocative note of fermenting peaches, layered with cedar and nutty peach pit. Creamy smoke reveals florals, charred cedar, and apricot jam, with a retrohale of sharp red pepper. Second Third: The core evolves into oak and cream, balanced with bright apricot and cedar. A tangy sweetness develops, pushing toward strawberries and raspberries. Black pepper adds intrigue while the cigar mirrors the zingy vibrance of classic Cuban Habanos. Final Third: Sea salt and pepper join the profile, with a touch of lemon juice acidity that heightens the smoke’s finish. The finale is clean, bright, and refreshing—elevating its Habano-like sharpness into a connoisseur’s delight. Why It Belongs in Privada Junito is a perfect example of how Privada elevates cigars beyond superficial standards. Where others saw flaws, we saw potential—and through time and patience, this blend became a masterpiece.

With Cuban-style elegance and Privada’s bold creative spin, Junito belongs in the hands of collectors who appreciate risk, rarity, and reward.

Crafted in a hidden factory in Condega, it embodies the tension of artistry made in the shadows—where legalities loom and passion perseveres. This cigar is a nod to the wraiths, those elusive blends that mirror iconic brands yet move carefully in the dark. The inspiration comes from Popeye himself, a cultural icon whose sailor’s laugh—ah-gahgahgahgah!—still echoes through time. In 1957, a massive Popeye balloon floated down the streets of New York in a parade, rainwater collecting on his hat and showering the crowd below. Much like that surprise moment, this cigar is about unexpected delight, about being caught in something bigger than you anticipated. Popeye’s Reign captures the same bold, rugged spirit: defiant, hearty, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Graham cracker sweetness and chocolate mingle with cedar, cream, and oak. Cinnamon spice flickers at the edges, balanced by a retrohale of bold red pepper. Second Third: Flavors deepen into fresh-cut cedar and a touch of pine. Creamy smoke envelops the palate while maple syrup sweetness emerges, softening the spice. Final Third: Cinnamon returns in force, layered with cedar and lingering red pepper sparks. Cream, oak, and a playful sweetness round out a warm, complex finish. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar exists because of you—the Privada movement. Without the collective force of our community, cigars like Popeye’s Reign would never leave their factory vaults. It represents defiance against industry silence, a playful nod to pop culture, and proof that Privada continues to unearth treasures that others are too afraid to release. It’s bold, it’s rare, it’s ours.

The name itself recalls a whimsical moment in 1956, when the iconic Mighty Mouse balloon met its ironic match against a New York street sign. The mighty laid low by the mundane—an unforgettable spectacle of fragility and humor. But beneath that story lies another: a young Chico Rivas, long before his rise as one of the Dominican Republic’s most sought-after blenders, quietly released this blend in 2015, sold only in the Dominican Republic. Few outside those borders ever experienced it. Now, after seven patient years of aging, the Mighty 54 resurfaces like a hidden track from a legendary artist’s early catalog—raw, authentic, and glowing with the promise of future greatness. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with cedar and cream, wrapped in a delicate floral sweetness. Notes of toasted almond and cinnamon dance on the tongue, balanced with subtle earthy undertones.

An Argentinian cowboy with an Ivy League education, he straddles two worlds with ease: the raw, earthy life of a horseman and the refined sophistication of a global businessman. With Stallone Cigars, he brings that duality to the leaf, creating blends that are bold yet nuanced, rustic yet elegant. The Zaino Broadleaf Aged 3+ Years was born from hard-fought negotiations between Tony and Privada. At first, the deal seemed doomed—Tony wasn’t sure what Privada was about, and I wasn’t sure he understood our mission. But after stepping back, we came together, and this Broadleaf treasure finally made its way to the club. It’s paired with its sibling, the Castaño San Andres, but Zaino stands tall as a powerhouse on its own. A cigar for the bold smoker, it’s unapologetic in its strength yet balanced with a sophistication that reflects Tony himself. Flavor Journey First Third: Sweetened chocolate and raisins collide with leather, earth, and sharp red pepper. Cedar dominates the mouthfeel, transitioning into oak on the finish. Yeast, bread, wood, chocolate, and floral pepper dance across the palate. Second Third: The smoke mellows, dark and sweet like chocolate-covered cherries. Leather, wood, and black pepper persist, joined by dried peach, sugar, and cocoa. Bread and salt add depth, while the creamy texture builds. Final Third: A perfectly rounded finale—smooth, sweet, and balanced. Cocoa, berries, and bread mingle with oak and white pepper, leaving a fragrant, lingering finish that proves this cigar is a full-bodied masterpiece. Why It Belongs in Privada The Zaino Broadleaf is a cigar that almost never was. Born from tension, revived through persistence, it now stands as one of Privada’s most flavorful and complex releases. Its marriage of power and finesse mirrors the Privada ethos: pushing the industry forward while honoring the artistry behind each leaf. This is the kind of cigar that defines the Privada journey.

(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.

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.

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.

We wanted a bold, playful expression of craft—a cigar that feels like it’s been dipped in history, mystery, and a splash of bourbon spirit. Crafted by Chico Rivas, one of the Dominican Republic’s most respected artisans, Whiskey D became more than just a robusto.

A cigar that merges the world of whiskey and tobacco in a way that feels seamless, natural, and luxurious. Whiskey D is a reminder of what happens when tradition collides with experimentation. A wink, a nod, and a playful warning on the band remind us: “Enjoy responsibly, for too much drink can certainly make your submarine sink!” Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a wave of oak and charred wood, layered with bourbon sweetness, toasted nuts, and a subtle smokiness. Cocoa and leather emerge on the finish. Second Third: The bourbon barrel influence deepens, offering notes of vanilla, caramel, and warm spice.

But what sits before you now is something even rarer: the same blend, aged an additional year and then finished for 90 days in freshly emptied Penelope bourbon barrels. This is not “barrel aged” in the loose way the industry has used the term. No fermentation tricks, no marketing sleight of hand. This is true barrel aging, where finished cigars rest inside real bourbon-soaked oak casks, constantly monitored for balance. It is risky, time-consuming, and nearly impossible to execute at scale—yet Privada has done it for 10,000 cigars, pushing boundaries that few would dare attempt. The result? A cigar that is equal parts indulgence and innovation. Think chocolate-dipped berries over charred oak, with vanilla cream smoke so rich it feels decadent. Minnesota Fats has gone from cult classic to cigar history in the making. Flavor Journey First Third: Explodes with rich chocolate—layered, thick, and sweet. Artificial berry reminiscent of Cap’n Crunch Berries laces through, while oak and white pepper ground the profile. Creamy smoke delivers a silky texture, finishing with lemon zest and charred wood. Second Third: The core flavors of chocolate, berry, and oak persist with remarkable consistency. Cinnamon slips in alongside creamier, heavier smoke. A lemon note pops in and out, keeping things bright. This is indulgence without compromise. Final Third: Transitions to charred oak and dried dark fruits—cranberries, cherries—melding with cinnamon spice. Vanilla cream surges forward, accented by black pepper on the retrohale. A smooth, decadent close to an unforgettable smoking experience. Why It Belongs in Privada Minnesota Fats isn’t just a cigar—it’s a milestone. This project represents Privada’s commitment to redefining post-production aging, proving that cigar innovation doesn’t stop at rolling tables. We now have more barrel-aging experience than anyone outside of Europe’s historic cigar banks. Minnesota Fats belongs in Privada because it is a piece of living cigar history, a bold step forward in what’s possible when passion overrides convention.

The Work-N-Class Maduro carries something far rarer—uncompromising quality at an everyman’s price. At just $7.50 a stick, these cigars come directly from a prestigious Estelí factory, the same one responsible for blends that normally command double or even triple the cost. Only a factory with serious pedigree and deep reserves of tobacco could deliver this level of craftsmanship under the radar. The backstory is as bold as the cigar itself: these sticks were likely slated for other premium brands, but shifting contracts and excess inventory left them orphaned. That’s when Privada stepped in, ensuring our community had first access to a cigar that smokes far above its price point. The factory’s anonymity is deliberate—they can’t risk undercutting their own brand clients. But we’ll just say this: if you’ve smoked Nicaraguan icons, you’ve smoked their handiwork. Lighting up a Work-N-Class Maduro feels like discovering a secret only insiders should know. It’s rich, it’s bold, it’s premium through and through—but without the premium markup. This is Privada flexing its muscle on behalf of the people who made the club what it is. Flavor Journey First Third: Earthy cedar and cocoa powder open the show, layered with espresso and a bold punch of black pepper. The smoke is thick and creamy, coating the palate with a sweetness that balances the spice. Second Third: Dark chocolate notes take center stage, joined by roasted nuts and a leathery undertone. The pepper mellows, while subtle mineral and earthy flavors begin to emerge. Final Third: A crescendo of charred oak, molasses, and espresso, finished with a lingering sweetness of cream and cocoa. The retrohale provides a bold spice kick, reminding you of its Nicaraguan pedigree. Why It Belongs in Privada This is Privada’s mission made manifest: delivering world-class cigars to our members that the mainstream market will never see. The Work-N-Class Maduro is a reminder that greatness doesn’t always need to wear a luxury band—it just needs to smoke like one. For the price, there is simply nothing better.

Collectors scrambled to secure Dominican masterpieces while counterfeiters chased their reputation. But as tastes shifted to heavier-bodied Nicaraguan and Honduran blends, the nuanced balance that made the Dominican Republic king quietly receded into the shadows. The DK Duo – Blanc et Bleu – resurrects that golden age. Two cigars, two expressions of Dominican mastery, presented in a single coffin. The White, wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Habana 2000, recalls the grace and balance of the classics: elegant, poised, whispering layers of complexity rather than shouting them. The Blue, clad in its darker Ecuadorian Habana 2000 Maduro, is the bolder sibling, offering richness, intensity, and a touch of mystery. Together, they embody the past and the future of Dominican artistry. Smoking the Duo is like stepping into a time capsule, revisiting the era when the Dominican Republic set the standard for sophistication in premium cigars. Flavor Journey DK White: Opens with cedar, cream, and honey sweetness, layered with citrus zest and a delicate white pepper finish. Midway, the smoke gains body with toasted almond, vanilla, and floral undertones, finishing with elegance and subtle spice. DK Blue: Begins with rich espresso, dark cocoa, and plum, accented by bold black pepper. The middle is deeper with molasses, oak, and a faint licorice tang. It closes with a crescendo of roasted coffee, cocoa nibs, and spice, balanced by creamy smoke. Why It Belongs in Privada The DK Duo is more than two cigars—it’s a revival of a lost era. Where others chase power, these blends chase refinement. They reconnect members to the Dominican Republic’s legacy of sophistication and balance while showcasing what happens when history meets modern craftsmanship. Only Privada members could be trusted with such a reawakening of Dominican tradition.

This time, it was Montenegro. Six months ago they presented me with two mysterious coronas—similar, yet not the same. Both shared wrapper and binder from their fabled farm, but the fillers diverged, each carrying its own story. I tried them all and knew immediately: these weren’t just cigars, they were aged treasures, biding their time in the shadows of one of the most enigmatic cigar houses in the world. Montenegro itself is wrapped in secrecy. Founded by two Persian gentlemen who once shared cigars at the Grand Havana Room nearly two decades ago, the brand’s history reads like a novel. They traveled to Cuba, hired the country’s most renowned grower, and convinced him to bring his mastery to Nicaragua. The result? A farm and factory unlike any other, producing cigars that are aged for years, hidden from the spotlight, waiting for their moment to shine. Special Sauce is one of those moments. Aged a full five years, it is a testament to time, patience, and privilege. Once reserved for billionaires and insiders, it now lands in your humidor. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with herbal notes, graham cracker sweetness, cedar, and dried tea leaves. Apricot and ginger add a delicate fruitiness while toasted oak lays down a steady foundation. Second Third: Evolves into honey graham, vanilla, black pepper, and charred oak. Powdery smoke carries ginger and spice with a smooth, balanced creaminess. Final Third: Intensifies with red pepper, cream, tea-like florals, and a richer charred oak. A burned graham cracker sensation ties it together with savory complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This isn’t just another boutique release—it’s Montenegro DNA. Their cigars are rare, aged, and crafted under a veil of secrecy. The Special Sauce reflects the Privada philosophy: uncovering hidden gems from the world’s most exclusive producers and sharing them with our members before anyone else. This is not just a cigar—it’s an introduction into a world few ever get to experience.

W.A. Fireworks Aged 2+ Years
W.A. Fireworks Aged 2+ Years Size: 7×50Vitola: ChurchillWrapper: NicaraguanBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cedar, pepper, roasted nuts, cocoa, toasted bread, cinnamon spice, creamPairing Notes: Black coffee, bourbon, dark chocolate, espresso martini, rye whiskey, churros, cinnamon teaManufacturer: Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Privada Storytelling Wes Anderson is one of the few artists whose vision translates into timeless emotion. His first film, Bottle Rocket, was raw, quirky, and unforgettable—a launchpad for his entire career. When Brian Desind of Privada Cigar Club set out to pay homage to Anderson’s cinematic genius, he knew the first installment in the W.A. Collection had to capture that explosive spirit. Thus, the W.A. Fireworks was born. Crafted entirely from Nicaraguan tobaccos at AJ Fernandez’s esteemed factory, this 7×50 Churchill embodies the spark of creativity, the sudden bursts of flavor and color that define both cinema and cigars. Like fireworks, it is fleeting yet unforgettable—something to be experienced, savored, and remembered. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with cedar, roasted nuts, and black pepper that snap to attention like the first crack of a firework. Cocoa lingers in the background, adding a rich sweetness to the smoke. Second Third: Flavors expand into cream, toasted bread, and a balanced spice that mirrors cinnamon and nutmeg. The retrohale sharpens with white pepper and cedar. Final Third: Intensifies with notes of dark cocoa, charred oak, and a lingering creaminess, finishing with a spark of spice and earthy richness. Why It Belongs in Privada The W.A. Fireworks is not just a cigar—it’s the first chapter in a ten-part series inspired by Wes Anderson’s films. Just as Bottle Rocket marked the beginning of a cinematic career that changed storytelling, this cigar marks the beginning of a collector-worthy series within Privada. A true fusion of art, film, and tobacco.

Tampa Rollers Aged 9+ Years
Tampa Rollers Aged 9+ Years Size: 5×52Vitola: RobustoWrapper: UnknownBinder: UnknownFillers: UnknownFlavor Notes: Golden hay, charred almond, cedar, floral sweetness, white pepper, menthol, light berry, smokier woods on the finish.Pairing Notes: Coffee with sugar, white chocolate, cookies and cream ice cream, cream soda, iced tea, rum and Coke, Coca-Cola.Manufacturer: Tampa Rollers (original production, warehoused 9 years) Privada Storytelling Every so often, a cigar drifts into Privada’s orbit that feels less like a product and more like a time capsule. Tampa Rollers is exactly that. A cigar with nearly a decade of rest, sitting quietly in storage until the moment was right. A whisper from another era. The brand itself is shrouded in rumor—one of its founders is said to have been an original partner of Rocky Patel, though the truth has been lost in the shuffle of time. Attempts to track down the makers turned into dead ends, and today Tampa Rollers exists mostly as a bundle brand, rolling cigars at events and selling stock that looks nothing like what you’re holding now. What we do know: these cigars were warehoused nine years ago, tucked away by a friend of a friend, forgotten until now. What you’re smoking is a rare survivor of another age in American cigar history, with all the complexity that nearly a decade of patient rest brings. This is history in your hand—and an example of why #weareprivada exists. Flavor Journey First Third: Golden hay, charred almond, and cedar set the stage, with white pepper and florals lighting up the retrohale. There’s a richness that can only come with long rest, giving the smoke a golden, aged quality. Second Third: Cedar grows stronger, balanced by light menthol and a faint berry twang that floats in and out. The hay note remains dominant, but with more structure now, more depth. Final Third: The wood turns smoky, almost campfire-like, while the pepper lingers. The finish is dry, refined, and hauntingly elegant, leaving behind the unmistakable signature of true age. Why It Belongs in Privada Tampa Rollers is not a regular production cigar. It’s not about flashy bands, hype drops, or modern marketing. It’s a piece of lost history—an aged relic discovered and curated for the few who can appreciate it. Privada exists to bring stories like this back into the light. To remind us that behind every cigar there’s a journey, a mystery, and a moment that will never happen again.

Color Series Black And Yellow Aged 3.5 Years
Color Series Black And Yellow Aged 3.5 Years Size: 6 1/2×47Vitola: Corona ExtraWrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cocoa butter, hazelnut, vanilla, cedar, chocolate, red pepper, dried fruits, espressoPairing Notes: Red birch beer, rum, Nutella, Goobers, brownies, focaccia bread, Italian food, pizzaManufacturer: AJ Fernandez (Estelí, Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Color Series Black and Yellow, also known as No Puppets Allowed, is a statement cigar—a declaration that Privada is unafraid to disrupt an industry often too comfortable in its ways. Originally part of a limited seasonal release from AJ Fernandez, this Nicaraguan Puro never carried his name but was entirely grown and crafted on his Estelí farms. Aged 3.5 years, this cigar belongs to a chapter in our Color Series defined by rebellion, resilience, and authenticity. The cease-and-desist battles, the whispers from the titans of tobacco, the attempts to keep Privada from shaking up their quiet empire—it all makes this release even more meaningful. This isn’t just a cigar. It’s proof that the culture cannot be controlled, and that real passion for tobacco will always find its way to the people who deserve it most: you, the smoker. Flavor Journey From the first draw, you’re enveloped in rich cocoa, cocoa butter, and hazelnut, layered with vanilla and fresh cedar. A touch of black pepper and dried thyme on the retrohale creates the feel of an herb-crusted bread kissed with chocolate sweetness. As the second third opens, the pepper evolves into red spice, while the body grows sweeter with cream, cocoa, and dried fruits—apples, mangos, and a raspberry tang that surprises the palate. The retrohale remains dynamic, offering bread crust, herbs, and cream in equal measure. The final third builds toward a crescendo: sweet cedar, cream, cayenne, espresso, and oregano, leaving behind the lasting impression of a cigar that marries boldness with elegance. Why It Belongs in Privada The Black and Yellow isn’t simply another aged Nicaraguan Puro—it’s a relic from AJ’s farms, released under circumstances that highlight the friction between innovation and tradition. Privada thrives in that space. We exist to uncover and share the stories the industry wants hidden. This cigar is not just smoke—it’s resistance, history, and triumph rolled into one.
