Enter the Golden Churro—a Privada exclusive that takes the warm, sugary, cinnamon-laced nostalgia of the classic fried treat and translates it into a cigar. Rojas, who has become one of the brightest young talents in the boutique world, designed this blend as both a wink to his roots and a love letter to those who crave bold but playful cigars. Just as the churro is golden, fried, and dusted in sweetness, this cigar delivers richness, warmth, and bursts of surprising flavor with every puff. It’s the kind of cigar that makes you smile while you smoke, and maybe even crave a trip to the fairgrounds. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dried peach, red pepper, cream, cedar, and graham cracker sweetness. Cinnamon coats the retrohale while tamarind and maple syrup bring tang and depth. White florals weave through creamy smoke. Second Third: The profile grows bolder and more complex with notes of crisp ciabatta bread, fresh-cut green apple, and leather. Cedar evolves into oak, balanced by raspberry jam and charred wood. Tamarind lingers. Final Third: Cinnamon spice ramps up, joined by sweet granola, maple syrup, and returning apricot. A horseradish and wasabi-like kick emerges on the retrohale, ending the cigar with a fiery twist that still feels indulgent. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on storytelling and on finding cigars that capture a feeling, a memory, or even a dessert. The Golden Churro is more than a cigar—it’s a cultural connection, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a playful reminder that fine tobacco can be just as fun as it is luxurious. Noel Rojas has delivered something both daring and comforting, perfectly embodying Privada’s mission to push the boundaries of the cigar experience.

CLE Cigars CLE / Eiroa 2013 Aged 12+ Years
CLE / Eiroa 2013 Aged 12+ Years Size: 5×50 Robusto, 6×52 Toro (varies)Vitola: Robusto / ToroWrapper: Honduran Corojo (original Cuban seed)Binder: Honduran CorojoFillers: Honduran CorojoFlavor Notes: Buttery umami, cedar, orange blossom honey, dried apricot, black pepper, musty woods, vanilla, clove, menthol, warm apple pie, peated smoke, marine-like freshnessPairing Notes: Black tea, chai tea, bourbon, Highland scotch, cognac, Belgian tripel, sake, peanut butter desserts, Reese’s, roasted nuts, Thai food, birthday cake, light roast coffeeManufacturer: CLE Cigar Company (Eiroa Family, Honduras) Privada Storytelling The year was 2013. The Eiroa family—legendary stewards of authentic Cuban-seed Corojo outside of Cuba—were finally free to return to the cigar industry after the sale of Camacho to Davidoff in 2008. With the non-compete behind them, Christian Eiroa and family opened the Alladino factory, and among the very first blends they rolled was this cigar. But fate intervened. Legal complications sidelined the project, leaving thousands of boxes to rest quietly in Honduras, sealed in cedar-lined rooms. Now, more than a decade later, you hold one of the rarest time capsules in your hand: the CLE / Eiroa 2013. This is more than a cigar; it is a relic of rebirth, a tangible piece of history that survived long enough to reveal what true patience can do to tobacco. Twelve years of controlled aging has transformed its Corojo leaves into something elegant, ethereal, and nearly impossible to replicate today. For Privada members, it’s another example of how the vaults of the industry are unlocked, one treasure at a time. Flavor Journey First Third: Buttery umami notes open alongside cedar, dried pear, orange blossom honey, and black pepper. Aged wood and earth introduce themselves with a Davidoff-like refinement. Second Third: Vanilla, cinnamon, and florals emerge, joined by a menthol-like cooling sensation. The retrohale is floral and spicy, with fleeting touches of clove and honey sweetness. Final Third: Complexity deepens with warm apple pie, spice wood, and smoky peat reminiscent of Islay scotch. A marine-like freshness lingers on the finish, blending with cinnamon, vanilla, and cedar for an unforgettable close. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar isn’t just aged—it’s preserved history. The original 2013 CLE / Eiroa blend was meant to relaunch the family legacy but instead became a silent witness to time itself. With over a decade of rest, it now offers Privada members an experience that simply doesn’t exist on the open market. It’s living proof of the original Cuban-seed Corojo’s power, aged far beyond industry norms, and released exclusively for those who demand the rarest finds.

Paul Stulac Miami Style Size: 6×52 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cedar, espresso, dark chocolate, citrus zest, toasted almond, peppery spicePairing Notes: Cuban coffee, mojito, añejo rum, or an Old FashionedManufacturer: Las Villas, Estelí, Nicaragua Privada Storytelling The Paul Stulac Miami Style cigar is more than a smoke — it’s a chapter in a life lived with passion, grit, and creativity. Two decades ago, Paul Stulac left Halifax, Nova Scotia for Miami, chasing his love of cigars and finding himself on Calle Ocho, the pulsing heart of the “new Havana.” Through that journey, he weathered shady characters, formed loyal friendships, and built a reputation that would carry him into the boutique cigar world. His breakout moment came when White Blinding Light was featured by Robb Report, cementing his place as a name to know. Years later, Privada unearthed a rare batch of his cigars — perfectly aged and bursting with life — and the connection between Paul and Privada was born. Today, Paul remains a close friend and trusted partner, and the Miami Style release is both a tribute to his legacy and a celebration of his love for Miami Vice, as he and his friends prepare for the 40th-anniversary celebration in September. Flavor Journey The opening offers bold cedar and espresso, lifted by peppery spice. Midway, the smoke evolves into dark chocolate, citrus zest, and toasted almond, balancing richness with brightness. The final third deepens into a savory and slightly sweet close, with espresso and spice leading the finish in harmony. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada stands for friendship, artistry, and the stories behind the leaf. Miami Style represents all three: a personal connection between Brian Desind and Paul Stulac, a celebration of Miami’s vibrant culture, and an exclusive cigar available only to Privada members. This release honors a legend while making its own mark in Privada history.

Rojas Cigars Peruvian Gold Aged 5+ Years
Rojas Cigars Peruvian Gold Aged 5+ Years Size: 6×50 Toro (exclusive format)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: Undisclosed (Rojas proprietary)Fillers: Nicaragua & PeruFlavor Notes: Oak, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood, confectioner’s sugar, fried dough, honeysuckle, charred wood, bourbon, umami richnessPairing Notes: Vanilla custard, bourbon, sweet tea, black tea, cognac, peaty scotch, ginger ale, butterscotch, churros, cinnamon desserts, vanilla pastriesManufacturer: Rojas Cigars (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Noel Rojas has always lived cigars with authenticity. Born in Cuba, he spent time in a Cuban prison before emigrating and reshaping his destiny on the free side of communism. He’s worked the fields, studied with legends, and mastered the art of Nicaraguan tobacco. His name now echoes throughout the boutique cigar world as a master blender and a man deeply connected to the roots of the leaf. The story of Peruvian Gold began years ago when Noel heard a tale from an old Cuban grower: cigar tobacco, they claimed, was first cultivated in Peru, then carried up the Amazon and across the Caribbean to Cuba. When Rojas had the chance to see Peruvian tobacco with his own eyes, he didn’t hesitate. Meeting an Italian landowner whose farm once supplied Zino Davidoff, Noel struck a deal to secure a lot of Peruvian leaf every year for a decade. When he first rolled the blend that would become Peruvian Gold, Noel told me, “This is only for me. I do not sell it.” But with persistence, he agreed to share this treasure with Privada. After more than five years of aging, this cigar has become his signature smoke—his story, his heritage, and his art rolled into one. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens gently with oak, honey, vanilla, black and white pepper, and sandalwood. Bourbon barrel character rises in the background, with faint cinnamon adding sweetness. Retrohale is lively with charred wood and spice. Second Third: Flavors sweeten with confectioner’s sugar, fried dough, honeysuckle, and caramelized cinnamon. The profile becomes creamy, like churro dust mingled with florals. Smoke is thick and voluminous, carrying bourbon and oak notes throughout. Final Third: The cigar crescendos into concentrated richness—sugars, oak, florals, cinnamon, and umami depth fusing together. Apricot-like fruit notes mingle with charred wood, leaving a long, indulgent finish reminiscent of aged bourbon and vanilla custard. Why It Belongs in Privada The Peruvian Gold is more than a cigar—it’s history reborn. It represents a forgotten origin of tobacco, a sacred leaf rediscovered, and a master blender’s personal secret shared with our community. No one else in the world has access to this cigar, and Noel Rojas himself once swore he would never sell it. Yet here it is, aged for over five years and offered only to Privada members. This is what makes Privada different—we uncover treasures meant for no one but legends themselves.

Brian’s Barrel Aged
Brian’s Barrel Aged Size: 6 x 54Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut BroadleafBinder: SumatraFillers: Estelí NicaraguaStrength: Medium to Full Has plume on it. Flavor Notes: Vanilla, oak, cherry, white pepper, caramelPairing Notes: Bourbon, barrel aged stout, espresso, dark rum Privada Storytelling This one took five years. Not to blend.To finish. Brian has been working on this Broadleaf cigar with one goal in mind. Not to create something new, but to push something already great into a different place entirely. First, it rested in Privada’s aging coolers for two years. Slow, controlled, deliberate. Then it moved into an ex Jefferson’s bourbon barrel for a full year, allowing the wood, the char, and the residual spirit to interact with the tobacco. After that, it went back into the coolers for another two years to let everything settle and integrate. Five years of movement.Five years of restraint. This is one of the very few cigars Brian will actually say he “finished.” Not blended. Not created. Finished. The Connecticut Broadleaf drives the body. Thick, rich, and naturally sweet. The Sumatra binder adds structure, while the Estelí core keeps the cigar grounded with strength and spice. And then there is the barrel. Not overpowering. Not artificial. Just present enough to add dimension without taking control. Quad banded for a reason. This is meant to be smoked slowly and experienced in stages. Flavor Journey The opening brings vanilla and oak immediately, a direct result of the barrel influence, layered over Broadleaf richness. Cherry sweetness follows, giving the cigar a round, almost dessert like start. Midway, caramel and white pepper begin to balance the sweetness, while the Estelí filler adds structure and depth. The cigar tightens and becomes more focused. The final third leans into oak, spice, and lingering sweetness, finishing long, warm, and controlled without becoming heavy. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is not a blend. It is a process. Five years of aging, movement, and patience turned this into something that cannot be replicated quickly. This is what Privada does at its core. Take time seriously. Production Notes Connecticut Broadleaf cigar aged two years in Privada coolers, followed by one year in an ex Jefferson’s bourbon barrel, then returned to coolers for an additional two years of integration. Finished under Brian’s direction and released in limited quantities.

AJ has been quietly refining a hybrid Maduro wrapper that pushes sweetness without sacrificing structure. Dark. Thick. Oil rich. This leaf carries the kind of cocoa intensity most smokers only find in aged tobacco tucked away in a cabinet. The Figurado shape makes it even rarer. The tapered head concentrates the first draws, delivering a blast of dark cocoa and espresso before the body opens and the cigar finds its full expression.

As the cigar opens, sweetness builds organically — brownie batter, cocoa powder, and toasted oak creating body and texture. The Nicaraguan puro core brings earth and balance, preventing the sweetness from ever becoming soft. Midway through, the profile grows creamy and dense, like melted dark chocolate with structure.

Barrel Aged Edition #1
Barrel Aged Edition #1 Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: SumatraBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Oak, bourbon sweetness, spice, cedar, roasted nuts, dark chocolatePairing Notes: Bourbon neat, oak-aged stout, spiced rum, dark chocolate, pecan pie, espressoManufacturer: AJ Fernandez at Tabacalera Annex Privada Storytelling The Barrel Aged Edition #1 is where two worlds of craftsmanship collide—Kentucky bourbon heritage meets Nicaraguan cigar artistry. After our first exclusive bourbon collaboration, we convinced Heaven Hill Distillery to let us repurpose their seasoned barrels. These barrels had already held bourbon that Privada members savored—and then they gave new life by aging a cigar created by AJ Fernandez himself. This isn’t an infused cigar. It’s something more refined—tobacco aged in the very oak that once held rich, caramelized bourbon, then meticulously balanced with two-way humidification. The result? A cigar that speaks in whispers of bourbon without ever losing the soul of fine Nicaraguan leaf. Barrel Aged Edition #1 is proof that innovation, when paired with tradition, creates magic. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with toasted oak and a bourbon sweetness that’s subtle yet distinct. Notes of cedar and roasted nuts dance in harmony with faint spice. Second Third: The profile deepens with chocolate and caramel undertones, a velvety smoke that recalls the warmth of a fine pour of bourbon. Hints of vanilla and pepper arrive, adding layers of intrigue. Final Third: Rich earth, oak, and espresso dominate the finish, rounded by lingering sweetness and a bourbon barrel warmth that carries to the last puff. Why It Belongs in Privada Barrel Aged Edition #1 is an expression of what Privada does best—pioneering projects that no one else dares to attempt. This cigar isn’t about gimmicks, it’s about authentic collaboration between two masters of their craft. By bringing Heaven Hill barrels to Tabacalera Annex, we created a cigar unlike anything in the industry—exclusive, flavorful, and true to Privada’s relentless pursuit of originality.

Seattle Grunge Box
Seattle Grunge Box A member named Ken emailed us out of the blue. He’s been a loyal Privada member for years and asked if we would make a cigar to honor his late brother, Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. Of course we said yes. Over time that idea turned into something bigger. We built a small Seattle Grunge themed collection meant to honor the music and the city that created it. The cigars in this box were selected from aged inventory sitting in Privada coolers and vaults for years. Each cigar was chosen because it fit the mood and character of the bands that inspired them. Inside the Box Nutshell Inspired by Alice in Chains Size: 7x50 Vitola: Churchill Factory: Tabacalera Domingo Gadea Age: 8 Years Dense, rich, and dessert driven with notes of amaretto, chocolate, warm spice, and espresso.

Nirvana Inspired by Nirvana Size: 6x50 Vitola: Toro Factory: Las Villas Blend: Guillermo Peña for Privada Age: 5 Years The rawest cigar in the set. Floral and grassy at first before moving into toasted grain, black pepper, cocoa, and bittersweet earth. Honest and straightforward with a dry savory backbone and long finish.

The Needle Inspired by Seattle itself Size: 7x38 Vitola: Lancero Factory: El Aladino, Honduras Age: 5 Years Made years ago for Privada Cigar Club at El Aladino in Honduras and aged inside the Privada vault for five years.

Seattle Grunge is not a random sampler. Every cigar was picked because it carried the feeling of the music that inspired it. Moody, honest, dark, and memorable. This is one of the most personal collections we’ve ever released.

It was a smash hit—mischievous, bold, and wildly flavorful. But here’s the secret: while you were enjoying that release, we were sitting on another batch made for the holidays. Enter the Grinchy. This cigar swaps a touch of Dominican filler for more Nicaraguan spice, turning a cult favorite into something even more seasonally electric. Bobi himself is as much a part of this story as the cigar. A Dutch box maker turned Dominican rockstar, Bobi is notorious for showing up unannounced with cigars in one hand and a drink in the other, always ready to stir up trouble. He pranks, he laughs, and somehow he makes magic happen in tobacco. That energy is alive in every puff of the Grinchy. It’s festive, a little chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Pine nuts, baker’s spices, molasses, and gingerbread light up the palate. The retrohale bursts with allspice, orange, citrus, and almond, carried by a syrupy smoke that leaves a tingling finish. Second Third: Butterscotch, oak, and cinnamon take over, joined by apples and a phantom ginger ale fizz on the retro. Notes of caramel, candied orange, and raspberry follow. Final Third: Dry butter pecan, maple syrup, and charred oak dominate. As the cigar closes, florals and a bright orange zest linger, wrapping the experience like the last notes of a holiday feast. Why It Belongs in Privada Grinchy is more than a holiday smoke—it’s a piece of Privada culture. It represents what happens when passion, artistry, and a little chaos collide. This cigar delivers seasonal nostalgia and refined craftsmanship in one perfect package. With 3+ years of aging behind it, Grinchy isn’t just playful—it’s a winter classic that showcases Bobi’s unique voice in the cigar world.

Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years
Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years Size: 6×60Vitola: GordoWrapper: San Andres Mexican Aged 12 YearsBinder: Cameroon Aged 12 YearsFillers: Nicaraguan Estelí Aged 11 YearsFlavor Notes: Cocoa, cedar, tart cherry juice, charred oak, Riesen candy chocolate, florals, cane syrup, apricot, sweet cream, white pepperPairing Notes: Dark roast coffee with sugar, Riesen candy, M&M’s, Mexican hot chocolate, red wine, malted chocolate, Scotch, BrandyManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars Privada Storytelling Luxury is a word that gets tossed around carelessly in the cigar industry, but Montenegro Cigars embodies it with quiet authenticity. Founded by two Beverly Hills investment strategists who cared more about enjoying the best cigars than selling them, Montenegro became a different kind of company. They waited years before releasing anything—aging every leaf for a minimum of five years, most for seven or more, without compromise. They even entrusted famed Cuban farmer Héctor Luis Prieto to manage their organic farm, the only one of its kind that we know of in the industry, where pesticides are rejected in favor of purity and patience. The Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years reflects that philosophy. A true Privada treasure, it represents everything we value: authenticity, rarity, and a taste experience that can’t be rushed. With tobaccos aged over a decade and rested nearly nine years in cedar rooms before arriving to us, this cigar shows what time, patience, and perfection can create. Flavor Journey First Third: Cocoa and cedar arrive with creamy smoke, touched by faint red pepper. Charred oak and tart cherry juice step forward, already signaling the depth that only extreme aging can provide. Second Third: The chocolate deepens into a note reminiscent of Riesen candy. Chewier smoke emerges, carrying white pepper, florals, cedar, and cane syrup. Balance and richness define this section. Final Third: Charred cedar and cocoa remain, accented by apricot, florals, sweet cream, and lingering white pepper. Complexity and subtlety intertwine, reaffirming the magic of true professional aging. Why It Belongs in Privada The Montenegro White PCC stands as proof that luxury cannot be faked. With its farm-to-factory integrity, organic growing, and double-digit years of aging, this cigar elevates what we offer to members. It belongs in Privada not just because it’s rare, but because it is a benchmark of quality—the kind of cigar that redefines expectations and renews faith in the art of long-term aging.

Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged)
Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged) Size: 4.5×58 Box PressVitola: Short Gordo Box PressWrapper: Brazilian CubraBinder: IndonesianFillers: Pennsylvania Ligero, Corojo Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 SecoFlavor Notes: Leather, chocolate iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, roasted nuts, sage, rosemary, licorice, charred wood, black pepper, cinnamon gum, graham cracker, mineralityPairing Notes: Cappuccino, flan, roasted nuts, bourbon, whiskey, rye, apricot-peach iced tea, root beer barrel candy, cream soda, rum and coke, pork dishes, brie cheese, vanilla sundae with fudge and peanuts, red TwizzlersManufacturer: Blackbird Cigar Co. (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The Minnesota Fats is the grand finale of a saga that began with Fast Eddie and The Vince, each release a nod to the pool-hall legends of The Color of Money and its predecessor The Hustler. While Jackie Gleason’s portrayal of Minnesota Fats never made it into Scorsese’s sequel, his legend inspired the final chapter in this trilogy. A big man deserved a big ring gauge, and so we end on a bold, box-pressed 58. Each release in this series has been a study in how a simple change—length or width—reshapes an entire smoking experience. This cigar was blended at Blackbird by “Caballo,” a master roller once hailed as Davidoff’s fastest, producing a record-setting 500 cigars in an eight-hour shift. Caballo represents the unsung artisans of the craft cigar movement, those whose names seldom leave the factory floor but whose work shapes the culture we celebrate. Now, after five years of Privada-controlled aging, Minnesota Fats emerges as both a tribute and a farewell. It’s big, bold, complex, and unapologetically rich—fitting for the close of a story about legends. Flavor Journey First Third: The opening surprises with a sour cheese note off the body and chocolate chip cookies off the foot. The draw reveals Fig Newtons, dried apricot, and granola before shifting into leather, iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, light brown sugar, and gritty black pepper. Roasted nuts anchor the flavor while the retrohale bursts with cedar, black pepper, cashew, and sage. Second Third: The cigar evolves toward herbal brightness with sage, rosemary, and dried basil layered over salted mixed nuts, graham cracker, and minerality. Leather deepens, while retrohale sharpens into Big Red cinnamon gum, more sage, and a refreshing menthol coolness through the nose. Final Third: Darkness and depth define the finale. Hickory, charred oak, and cedar combine with sage, black licorice, and a stronger pepper core. The cigar finishes savory, woody, and bold—like the last shot in a high-stakes pool game. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada doesn’t just release cigars—it documents eras. The Minnesota Fats marks the conclusion of a trilogy that embodies storytelling through tobacco, showing how one blend can become three entirely different experiences simply by changing vitola. Aging it over five years has unlocked a new level of depth, making this cigar not only a celebration of craft but a capsule of Privada history. It stands as proof of why Privada matters: preserving moments, elevating artisans, and turning cigars into legends.
