As the nephew of the Plasencia family, David has access to some of the most celebrated tobacco on Earth. Few realize that behind his humble demeanor lies the weight of an empire of leaf—tobaccos grown across continents, aged with patience, and blended with the precision of generations. When David approached Privada with a dozen experimental blends, it was like stepping into a vault of possibilities. After smoking through them live, the #5 and #9 stood out. Both extraordinary, both unique, yet each pulling in its own direction. The #9, with its smokier, bolder “cowboy” profile, demanded a platform. And here it is, aged three years, refined, and ready to show you what it’s made of. This isn’t just a cigar—it’s a dialogue between tradition and innovation, between family heritage and a blender forging his own path. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with licorice, charred oak, vanilla, white pepper, sandalwood, and florals, carried on a creamy, mineral-laced smoke. Salt and sweetness mingle, creating an earthy yet polished start. Second Third: Deepens with sandalwood, licorice root, cane sugar, and cinnamon, while hints of graham cracker creep in for a dessert-like texture. The balance is impeccable—creamy puffs tied together with white pepper and a soft floral thread. Final Third: Transitions into sandalwood, cream, cinnamon, faint florals, and simple syrup, before finishing with an unexpected note reminiscent of margarine. The end is both savory and sweet, leaving the palate satisfied but curious for more. Why It Belongs in Privada The Blanco No. 9 is a shining example of what Privada does best: pulling hidden gems out of obscurity and aging them to peak perfection. Without Privada, this blend may have never reached the audience it deserved. The extra years of controlled aging give it complexity and smoothness unmatched in the market. This cigar is more than just smoke—it’s proof of what happens when you combine Privada’s patience with a blender’s artistry.

Avo Cigars Avo LE 05 2017 (Lost Edition) Aged 7+ Years
Avo LE 05 2017 (Lost Edition) Aged 7+ Years Size: Toro (6×50)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Dominican Sun GrownBinder: DominicanFillers: Dominican (including Olor and Piloto)Flavor Notes: Almond, baklava sweetness, toasted oats, barley, white pepper, honey, raw almonds, mushroom earthiness, charred cedar, rice wine vinegar, graham cracker, tart candy, vanilla, smoky woodsPairing Notes: Almond pastries, baklava, sake or rice wine, oaked Chardonnay, light roast coffee with honey, cashew brittle, vanilla custard, Davidoff-style pairings like champagne or cognacManufacturer: Davidoff (Avo Uvezian / Eladio Diaz) Privada Storytelling There are cigars—and then there are legends. The Avo LE 05 belongs in the latter category. Originally crafted in 2005 as one of Avo Uvezian’s most inspired creations, it quickly became a cult classic. But when the time came to re-release it, even Eladio Diaz, Davidoff’s master blender, struggled to recapture its brilliance. For the 2014 Avo Greatest Hits collection, this was one of the two blends deemed impossible to replicate. That alone tells you how special it is. What you hold here is something rarer still—the Lost Edition, a hidden batch of 4,000 cigars quietly created by Eladio after years of tinkering. Never released, never banded, these cigars sat in the vaults, waiting for the right moment. Privada secured them for you. This isn’t just another Davidoff or Avo—it’s a glimpse into cigar history, a smoke so unique it defied duplication. If Tom Ford designed a cigar, this would be it: elegant, sensual, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Avo’s signature mustiness shows immediately, accented by almond, baklava-like sweetness, toasted oats, barley, honey, and a sharp white pepper zing. Notes of mushroom earthiness and raw almond surface alongside sweet wood and charred cedar. Second Third: The profile shifts toward complexity with graham cracker, rice wine vinegar, nutty cashew, and a tart candy sparkle. Toasted grains and subtle musty earth remain constant, anchoring the refined Davidoff DNA. Final Third: Vanilla, charred wood, and smoky cedar dominate the finish, with earthy mushroom notes weaving throughout. The flavors crescendo into a rich, layered conclusion—equal parts elegance and intensity. Why It Belongs in Privada Because some cigars are more than tobacco—they are milestones. The Avo LE 05 was legendary when it first appeared, elusive in its re-releases, and nearly mythical in its Lost Edition form. Privada exists to bring moments like this to light, to give members access to cigars that even seasoned collectors may never encounter. This is pure history in your humidor, a treasure from Avo himself and Eladio Diaz that validates everything Privada stands for: exclusivity, story, and taste.

Rolled in the brand’s signature 11/18 vitola — a format that swells at the center before tapering at both ends — this cigar is a study in balance and intensity. The Maduro version showcases Eiroa’s Honduran-grown Corojo leaf taken to deeper fermentation, bringing out chocolate, espresso, and molasses tones while maintaining the distinctive spice and structure that define his work. This is the same Eiroa precision, simply turned down a darker street — elegant, confident, and unapologetically full-bodied. It’s a cigar that speaks with the voice of Honduran terroir: volcanic soil, mountain air, and patient aging. In every puff, it reflects Christian’s mastery — a craftsman who knows how to turn strength into symphony. Flavor Journey The first third opens with espresso, cedar, and black pepper. As the cigar warms, molasses and roasted nuts rise through thick, creamy smoke. Midway, dark cocoa and sweet spice dominate, balanced by hints of leather and oak. The final third reveals a finish of espresso crema and gentle sweetness — a perfectly tuned crescendo that leaves a clean, resonant aftertaste. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about honoring precision and passion, and few cigars represent those values better than the CLE Maduro 11/18. Every leaf, every curve, every taper is a reflection of Honduran craftsmanship at its finest. This cigar belongs in Privada because it transforms classic Corojo intensity into something deeper and more soulful — a maduro that refuses to hide behind sweetness, instead revealing maturity through strength. Production Notes 100% Honduran puro using Maduro-fermented Corojo wrapper. Rolled in CLE’s exclusive 11/18 vitola for dynamic flavor transitions.

The name itself, “THT-EKE 03/17,” reflects its cryptic origins: a blend conceived in March 2017 and kept quietly in the Eiroa family’s private vault until its debut years later. What makes this cigar truly remarkable is its Honduran-grown Cameroon wrapper — an agricultural and curing experiment that took years to perfect. Grown from authentic African Cameroon seed but cultivated in the fertile soils of the Jamastrán Valley, this wrapper delivers a flavor both familiar and entirely new: sweet, spicy, earthy, and hauntingly smooth. Rolled in the legendary 11/18 shape, it’s a smoke that evolves with every draw — a balance of elegance and edge, tradition and innovation. Flavor Journey The first third opens with cedar and graham cracker sweetness, followed by subtle black pepper and nutmeg. As the burn widens, floral spice and cream rise to the surface, mingling with cocoa and toasted almond. The final third intensifies with honeyed wood, citrus zest, and a touch of baking spice, closing clean and aromatic with a silky finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to tell the stories of rare experiments, forgotten batches, and revolutionary blends — and the CLE Signature THT-EKE 03/17 fits perfectly into that legacy.

This cigar belongs in Privada because it represents evolution — the courage to blend history, science, and artistry into one unforgettable experience.
