Series is our love letter to the whimsical, meticulous world of director Wes Anderson. With ten cigars, each inspired by one of his films, we aim to capture the charm, structure, and quiet eccentricity of Anderson’s storytelling in tobacco form. The second chapter, Academia, honors Rushmore, Anderson’s breakout feature. Just as Max Fischer lived and breathed his prep school world, this cigar thrives in its own distinctive realm. Wrapped in a rare Nicaraguan Double Claro, its vibrant green hue immediately signals something unconventional, playful, and bold. This isn’t your everyday toro—it’s an ode to youthful obsession, eccentric ambition, and the relentless pursuit of something bigger. Where Fireworks was a celebration, Academia is discipline, tradition, and creative rebellion all at once. It’s the cigar that teaches you something—about tobacco, about patience, about storytelling through flavor. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with grassy freshness, cedar, and citrus zest. A delicate pepper hum lingers on the retrohale while toasted almond and cream soften the edges. Second Third: The body grows richer with warm bread, baking spices, and a subtle honey sweetness. Hints of tea leaf and dried fruit surface, balanced by a creamy, airy texture. Final Third: The flavors deepen into roasted nuts, wood, and lingering citrus. A quiet crescendo of cedar and spice leaves a balanced, refreshing close. Why It Belongs in Privada Academia proves that a cigar doesn’t have to be dark or heavy to be meaningful. Just as Rushmore introduced Wes Anderson’s eccentric genius to the world, Academia introduces Privada members to the underappreciated art of the Double Claro wrapper. It’s rare, it’s daring, and it’s a flavor profile that belongs only in a collection as ambitious as the W.A. Series.

Eladio Diaz Unbanded Delectados
Eladio Diaz Unbanded Delectados Size: 7½×52Vitola: Double CoronaWrapper: Corojo Rosado 99Binder: Barrel Aged Mexican San AndrésFillers: Corojo Original, HVA, Piloto Cubano, Habano 92Flavor Notes: Molasses, dried cherry, oak, white pepper, dried fruits, cardamom, orange liqueur, pinewood sap, ripe plum, vanilla, golden raisin, cinnamon, chocolatePairing Notes: Aged rum, rich fruit cake, dark hot chocolate with cinnamon, or a spiced winter aleManufacturer: Eladio Diaz (Delectados for Privada Cigar Club) Privada Storytelling Eladio Diaz is a legend. 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.

The Volute Aged 3+ Year

Owned by Gennaro Lettieri, this operation exists to supply a single client. Every leaf grown under Lettieri’s watchful eye is destined for one destination—and one destination only. Yet, in a rare twist of fate, he kept a small portion of his extraordinary tobacco for himself. That sacred stash, never sold and never shared, became the heart of The Volute. To bring it to life, Lettieri entrusted Claudio Sgroi, one of the industry’s most respected artisans, to craft a cigar worthy of the leaf’s origin. The result is a limited run that whispers of the Amazon itself: humid earth, wild botanicals, and a richness that feels untouched by modern commerce. It is as though the rainforest has been pressed into a cigar, rolled carefully in secret, and released only to those fortunate enough to encounter it through Privada and the Limited Cigar Association. Flavor Journey First Third: Earth-driven and bold, with notes of rainforest soil, dark wood, and exotic spices. A natural sweetness lingers at the edges, softening the intensity. Second Third: A medley of florals and aromatics arises, evoking the lush vegetation of the Amazon. Hints of nutmeg, cacao husk, and roasted nuts appear, balanced by creamy smoke. Final Third: The cigar deepens into resinous wood, black tea, and faint citrus peel. The sweetness lingers, joined by a mineral-rich complexity that marks the Volute as unlike anything else in the humidor. Why It Belongs in Privada The Volute is an invitation into the Amazon, one of the most inaccessible and mysterious sources of tobacco in the world. To hold this cigar is to hold history, rarity, and privilege. Gennaro Lettieri does not sell his tobacco, yet here it is—offered in partnership with Claudio Sgroi and the LCA. This is the type of release that defines Privada: a blend that can’t be duplicated, can’t be negotiated, and can’t be found anywhere else. It belongs here because it proves that even in a world of endless cigars, there are still secrets worth chasing.

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.

Newman Cigar Co. (Nicaraguan Factory) Privada Storytelling I’m talking ’bout The Good Life. And yet, when this cigar first debuted, some people couldn’t believe it—me putting my own name on a cigar. At first, I wanted it to be released under J.C. Newman, but they politely declined, saying it wouldn’t be the right look. So I did what we always do at Privada: I created something bold, personal, and unapologetic. The band, inspired by the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, was my amateur Photoshop project, but it symbolized everything this cigar stood for: indulgence, glamour, and the pursuit of life’s finer things. Some members got upset, wanting only other brands, not “ours.” But the truth remains—Privada is not a brand. Privada is the curator, the storyteller, the finder of the rarest leaves and the boldest blends. And this cigar? It’s a showcase of Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco that has been cultivated for over a century—a leaf with history, depth, and soul. Made at the Newmans’ Nicaraguan factory, this rendition of The Good Life may be the best yet. Aged for over a year and a half, it brings out everything Broadleaf was meant to be: funky, flavorful, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursts of chocolate, peanuts, cream, red pepper, and sarsaparilla. A salty, peppery texture lays the groundwork, joined by baked bread, sesame, and a subtle red berry tang. Second Third: Golden honey and milky chocolate take center stage, layered with white pepper, sweet syrup, Raisinets, and cedar. A nostalgic note of Smarties candy creeps in, playful and unexpected. Final Third: The finale is floral and complex, with raspberry, raisin bread, passionfruit, tart fruit, horseradish, and chocolate weaving together. A bold raisin retrohale underscores this cigar’s complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is a statement of identity. It represents what Privada is all about: finding the best tobaccos, collaborating with masters, and refusing to be boxed in by convention. It’s a Broadleaf experience unlike any other—steeped in history, aged to perfection, and curated exclusively for our members.

The Ox Blood is proof of what Privada stands for: access to greatness, respect for heritage, and a constant push toward discovery.
