Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Umbagog
Umbagog by Steve Saka Size: 6 × 52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf (Grade B, Maduro)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan long-fillersFlavor Notes: Charred oak, cocoa powder, leather, damp earth, burnt sugar, black pepper, espresso bean, smoked meat, dry walnut, mineral gritPairing Notes: Barrel-proof bourbon, cold brew coffee, root beer, porter, grilled steak, maple bacon, mezcal, rye whiskey, black licorice, dark chocolateManufacturer: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust; produced at NACSA (Nicaraguan American Cigar S.A.), Estelí, Nicaragua Privada Storytelling Umbagog isn’t just a cigar—it’s a philosophy. 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. Midway through, mineral tones and leather dominate, dragging you deeper into the woods. The final third is a slow-cooked roast—earthy, meaty, unshaken. 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.

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.

Like fireworks, it is fleeting yet unforgettable—something to be experienced, savored, and remembered.

Padrón Cigars Padron 1926 Series No. 40 Maduro
Padrón 1926 Series No. 40 Maduro Size: 6½" x 54 Vitola: Box-Pressed Torpedo Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Maduro Binder: Nicaraguan Fillers: Nicaraguan long-fillers aged 5–10 years Tasting Notes:Dark chocolate, espresso, leather, cedar, roasted nuts, black pepper, and subtle natural sweetness Pairing Notes:Espresso or macchiato. Highland Scotch or well-aged bourbon. After a steak dinner or with dark chocolate mousse. Even better following a Cuban coffee and rich vanilla flan. Manufacturer: Tabacos Cubanica S.A. (Padrón Cigars, Nicaragua) Privada’s Take: A Smoke Measured in Generations There are cigars, and then there are monuments—handheld tributes to something greater than themselves. The Padrón 1926 Series No. 40 Maduro isn’t just another blend from a respected factory. It’s a celebration of legacy, lineage, and the obsessive pursuit of perfection across generations. Crafted to honor José Orlando Padrón’s 75th birthday, this cigar was never meant to just exist. It was designed to lead. Each component—from the sun-grown Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper to the 10-year-aged filler—comes from the Padrón family’s own soil. They don’t outsource. They don’t chase trends. They grow, ferment, age, roll, and release only when it’s perfect. That’s why these tobaccos never see the light of day until they’ve been properly honored—aged five to ten years, post-fermentation. The No. 40 sits in rare air—not just as a top-scorer in every serious publication (93 points), but as a recurring name in “best cigar in the world” discussions. And yet... in your hand, it doesn’t flex. It just performs. Flavor Journey:Pre-light reveals cocoa dust and sun-warmed barnwood. The draw opens like velvet—dark chocolate meets espresso crema, met by undertones of nutmeg, cedar, and aged leather. Black pepper and toasted walnuts swirl in the retrohale, but always controlled, never aggressive. As the smoke deepens, so does the narrative: complex, confident, deeply satisfying. This is luxury without arrogance. What makes it Privada-worthy?The No. 40 isn’t just about taste—it’s about access. Time. Patience. Respect. These cigars aren’t sitting in bins—they’re protected like heirlooms until they're ready for the right hands. You don’t stumble into a cigar like this. You find it because you searched for more. And now, like the best collectors, you’ve found it.

Production Notes Small batch rolling using hand selected Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, assembled with precision by a team known for pushing boundaries while honoring craft. A slow fermentation on the wrapper gives it that dense cocoa profile people chase in premium Dominican maduros.
