Named after Steve Saka’s favorite fishing lake in New Hampshire, this is his personal smoke. No frills, no fanfare, just Broadleaf muscle and Nicaraguan heart. It's the cigar Saka smokes on his own time, in a flannel shirt with mud on his boots. Privada celebrates that ethos—authentic, stripped down, and honest. Cigars like this prove that not every masterpiece needs gold foil or velvet bands. Sometimes the best blends hide in plain sight. Flavor Journey The first few draws hit like a tree branch cracking in the forest—raw, woody, and real. Charred oak and bitter chocolate coat the tongue, followed by a wave of espresso and smoked meat. As it opens up, a dusty sweetness creeps in: molasses crust, dry walnut, black pepper.

It’s a survivalist’s cigar with a craftsman’s soul. Why It Belongs in Privada Because even in a world of ornate bands and aging vaults, sometimes the best cigars are built for the elements. Umbagog doesn’t just survive—it thrives where other cigars wouldn’t dare go. It's a cigar of substance over style, grit over gloss, and character over cost. Privada seeks out forgotten roads, and this is one of them. It’s the smoke for those who know that beauty often hides beneath the bark.

Born as Pete Johnson’s personal travel cigar, it first appeared in ceramic jars handed out to die-hard fans and friends. What followed was myth: people whispering about its strength, its flavor, its complete lack of compromise. Over the years it returned—sometimes in cabinets, sometimes in tubos—but always with the same unfiltered attitude. It’s raw elegance wrapped in black band mystery. In Privada, it holds the line between tradition and rebellion, delivering heritage via volcanic Nicaraguan grit. Flavor Journey Lighting up brings dark roast coffee and a blast of Nicaraguan pepper. As it warms, the burn produces caramelized sugar, dry cedar, and earthy spice. Midway, leather, herbal brightness, and subtle cherry skin emerge, riding on rich volcanic soil and cedar resin. The final third lands with charred graham cracker, black licorice, and a flinty mineral finish. It’s punchy, bold, and unrefined in the best way—a flavor-forward ride that leaves you marked. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Tatuaje Black was never about hype—it was about expression. It’s a cigar made for someone who’s seen through the gloss and wants tobacco in its natural voice. Pete Johnson’s original blend for himself turned out to be a blueprint for what boutique cigars could be: rough-edged, full of heart, and unapologetically real. In Privada, that’s gospel.

Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata 652 Size: 6 × 52Vitola: Toro (Medulla = parejo; Oblongata = box-pressed)Wrapper: Honduran CorojoBinder: HonduranFillers: Honduran (Jamastran and Trojes regions)Flavor Notes: Roasted peanut, milk chocolate, leather, black pepper, baking spice, toasted oak, sweet earth, vanilla cream, coffee beanPairing Notes: Peanut brittle, café con leche, vanilla porter, bourbon, rye Old Fashioned, churros, chocolate-covered almonds, cola with limeManufacturer: Asylum Cigars (CLE Cigar Company); produced at El Aladino Factory, Danlí, Honduras Privada Storytelling The name alone grabs you. Medulla Oblongata—it sounds like a secret weapon or a line from a cigar noir film. But beneath that wild branding lies a brilliant concept: two cigars, one round (Medulla), one box-pressed (Oblongata), both rolled with the same tobacco. It’s a study in geometry, combustion, and flavor perception. And it’s not just clever—it’s downright delicious. Privada champions experiments that stick the landing, and this one lands with a fistful of flavor and a wink. A Honduran puro with brains and brawn? Count us in. Flavor Journey The toro opens with roasted peanut and pepper spice, settling into milk chocolate and dry earth. As it warms, vanilla cream and toasted oak layer in, balanced by coffee bean and gentle leather. Mid-smoke offers baking spice and black pepper on the retrohale, while a sweet, nutty base holds steady. The final third leans richer—more leather, more cocoa, and a lingering caramelized nuttiness that coats the palate. Whether in round or pressed form, it stays bold, balanced, and surprisingly smooth. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Medulla Oblongata doesn’t just deliver a great smoke—it asks a question: can the same leaf taste different just by changing the shape? And the answer is yes.

This is a Connecticut Shade cigar with posture—elegant, balanced, but never meek. In Privada, we hunt for blends that carry history in their draw, and this one does so with white gloves and perfect posture. It’s Downton Abbey meets volcanic soil, and the result is unforgettable refinement. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with smooth vanilla cream and soft white pepper, supported by fresh cedar and graham cracker. As it burns, notes of hay, light butter, and sweet bread gently unfold. A touch of citrus zest and herbal tea offers lift and complexity in the midsection. The final third is delicate but deep—almond, toast, and gentle spice lingering like the last pages of an old novel. The profile is light in strength but full in character, a slow waltz through English gardens and Nicaraguan valleys. Why It Belongs in Privada Because the Edwardian is more than a cigar—it’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to appreciate grace, and to savor detail.

This is a cigar for thinkers, for dreamers, for those who enjoy the finer things without needing to announce them.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Mi Querida
Mi Querida by Steve Saka Size: 6 × 52Vitola: Toro (Ancho Largo)Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf MaduroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan (Estelí, Jalapa, Condega)Flavor Notes: Dark chocolate, damp earth, black pepper, espresso, molasses, burnt sugar, leather, anise, woodsmoke, mineral-rich gritPairing Notes: Espresso, barrel-proof bourbon, molasses cookies, dark beer, grilled short ribs, spiced rum, root beer float, smoked almondsManufacturer: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust; produced at NACSA (Nicaraguan American Cigars S.A.), Estelí, Nicaragua Privada Storytelling Mi Querida translates to “my mistress”—and once you light one, the name makes perfect sense. This is Steve Saka’s boldest love letter to Broadleaf: dark, sultry, and unapologetically earthy. It’s the cigar he made after walking away from the corporate cigar world, with no one to answer to but his own obsession with quality. In Privada, we honor cigars born from rebellion and deep personal vision. Mi Querida isn’t meant to please the masses—it’s built for those who know what real flavor tastes like when nothing is held back. Flavor Journey From the spark, it’s an earthy thunderclap: dark chocolate, heavy loam, and bitter espresso. The retrohale is all black pepper and burnt molasses. As the cigar warms, leather, smoke, and wood creep in, swirling around a molasses-meets-anise core. Midway, the body intensifies but never overpowers—notes of charred sugar, mineral, and subtle sweetness battle in perfect tension. The final third is a dense crescendo: smoked meat, bittersweet cocoa, and a flinty finish that clings like a memory. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Mi Querida is what happens when an uncompromising palate goes rogue. It’s not made for shelf appeal—it’s made to be smoked. For Privada, it’s a badge of authenticity. Steve Saka built this with raw materials, raw passion, and no filters. It speaks to the soul of the cigar smoker who doesn’t care what’s trending—only what’s true. It’s one of the few cigars that punches this hard while staying balanced, and that’s no accident.

Created in collaboration with his father, this blend takes the elegance of a U.S. Connecticut wrapper and builds it on a foundation of strength, depth, and heritage. This is not your typical shade-wrapped cigar—it’s got backbone, complexity, and the kind of structure you'd expect from a master blender with something to prove. At Privada, we seek out the Connecticut cigars that push the genre forward without losing their grace. This is that cigar. Flavor Journey The first draw opens with buttered toast and a gentle crackle of white pepper. Vanilla cream and almond rise through the retrohale, while hay and cedar keep the base warm and balanced. As the cigar progresses, cinnamon sugar and floral tea tones emerge, with sweet cream softening the edges. The final third leans richer, offering graham cracker, nutty depth, and a soft mineral echo that rounds out the experience. Elegant, but never boring. Light, but far from empty. Why It Belongs in Privada Because New World Connecticut proves that mellow doesn’t mean mild. AJ took the most classic wrapper in the game and infused it with soul from Nicaragua, sweetness from Brazil, and fire from Mexico. The result is a Connecticut cigar that lives in the middle—welcoming to newcomers but layered enough for veteran palates. In Privada, we crave cigars that teach, surprise, and evolve. This one does all three.
