Foundation Cigars Foundation The Wise Man Maduro (Old Version, Discontinued)
Foundation The Wise Man Maduro (Old Version, Discontinued) Size: 6 × 56Vitola: Toro GordoWrapper: Mexican San Andrés MaduroBinder: Nicaraguan CorojoFillers: Nicaraguan (Estelí and Jalapa-grown Criollo and Corojo)Flavor Notes: Black cocoa, espresso, chili chocolate, damp earth, dried cherry, leather, clove, charred oak, black pepper, brown sugarPairing Notes: Mezcal, black coffee, mole negro, cherry cola, stout beer, grilled lamb, tamarind candy, aged rum, cacao nibsManufacturer: Foundation Cigar Company; produced at Tabacalera Fernandez (AJ Fernandez), Estelí, Nicaragua Privada Storytelling Before the rebrand. Before the box redesign. Before the name became a shorthand for prestige. There was this. The Wise Man Maduro, in its original form, was Nick Melillo’s thunderclap—a San Andrés-wrapped powerhouse that whispered its wisdom in a dark, ancient tongue. Rooted in myth and drenched in volcanic Nicaraguan terroir, this blend told a story that was more temple than lounge, more tobacco sermon than cigar session. And then, quietly, it was gone. Discontinued but not forgotten, it survives in humidors like sacred text. Privada exists to preserve those moments. Flavor Journey The cold draw hints at cherry wood and dark chocolate. Upon ignition, waves of espresso, earth, and black pepper lead the charge. Midway, it opens to chili-laced cocoa, sweet leather, and touches of clove and oak char. A dried fruit layer hums beneath, occasionally flashing with cherry cola brightness. As it burns into the final third, brown sugar melds with umami and lingering spice, closing in a meditative haze of cocoa, char, and subtle minerality. Full-flavored, never flat, always reverent. Why It Belongs in Privada Because the original Wise Man Maduro is a relic of Nick Melillo’s early legacy—one of the blends that built his name in post-Drew Estate independence. Discontinued to make room for new chapters, its disappearance only amplified its cult status. This is the blend that helped write the modern boutique playbook. For Privada, it’s a cigar that doesn't just deserve preservation—it demands it. Because some wisdom, once spoken, should never be silenced.

Kristoff Privada Cigar Club Exclusive Lancero 2019 AKA The 50 Shades Aged 4+ Years Size: 7 1/2×40Vitola: LanceroWrapper: Connecticut BroadleafBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Undisclosed (Dominican/Nicaraguan origin likely)Flavor Notes: White and red pepper, bread, florals, cocoa bean, chocolate bread, fennel, celery salt, caramelized sugar, salted peanuts, tart lime zest, oak, corn chips, vanilla soda, dried fruitsPairing Notes: Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, root beer, lager, pilsner, bourbon, Speyside Scotch (Glenlivet 12 or 18), iced coffee with cream, flan, ice cream sundaes, peanut butter desserts, raisins, dates, mild cheeses, blueberries and blueberry cheeseManufacturer: Kristoff Cigars Privada Storytelling Back in 2019, Broadleaf was scarce, expensive, and elusive for smaller boutique brands. Everyone was talking about how few could afford to use it—so naturally, Privada stepped up and demanded it. Partnering with Kristoff, a brand already admired for its rustic authenticity and bold blends, we asked them for two things: Broadleaf and a lancero. The result was this stunning exclusive, a cigar affectionately nicknamed “The 50 Shades” for its dynamic range and complex interplay of flavors. This wasn’t just another collab—it was a mission to create a finisher cigar, a smoke designed to end the night with power, structure, and unforgettable flavor. Aged for over four years now, it has reached a maturity that balances the raw intensity of Broadleaf with finesse. It’s bread-heavy, spice-driven, and layered with a finish as long as a great wine. If the first Kristoff Privada collab proved the partnership worked, this lancero cemented it. And now, with age, it has become something entirely its own. Flavor Journey First Third: A blast of white pepper erupts before mellowing into red pepper, bread crust, florals, cocoa bean, and herbal notes like dried fennel and parsley. Smoke is creamy but leaves a dry, tannic finish. Second Third: Charred cedar and charcoal arrive alongside chocolate bread, celery salt, and roasted fennel. Vanilla Dr. Pepper sweetness appears with salted peanuts on the retrohale. Bread fades slightly as florals intensify. Final Third: Sweet-tart balance defines the finale—lime zest, caramelized sugar, charred oak, salted nuts, chocolate bread, dried fruits, and a subtle vinegar zing. Finishes dry, tannic, and commanding, with lingering pepper and florals. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Privada takes risks. At a time when Broadleaf was becoming a luxury out of reach for smaller brands, we made it happen. Because Privada believes in the artistry of lancero vitolas, even when the mainstream ignores them. And because Privada cigars are meant to finish the night strong, giving members access to blends designed to showcase everything the leaf can offer. This lancero isn’t just a cigar—it’s proof of how influence, persistence, and passion bring impossible projects to life.

Together, they’re a duet of tradition and rebellion, proof that cigars can be both cultural art and modern invention. Flavor Journey Zola: Opens with cream, cedar, and honey, evolving into toasted almond and vanilla. Midway, nutmeg and gentle sweetness give warmth, finishing clean and floral with just a whisper of spice. Django: Starts bold with molasses, espresso, and pepper, then smooths into cocoa and brown sugar. The final third deepens with dark chocolate, oak, and a trace of leather, ending with lingering richness. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada celebrates authenticity — cigars that come from somewhere real, with stories that sing. The Upsetters line belongs because it fuses Jamaican heritage and Nicaraguan mastery into one soulful collaboration. Zola and Django remind us that cigars, like music, can move you — sometimes softly, sometimes with bass that shakes the room. Production Notes Crafted by Foundation Cigar Co. using dual-origin tobaccos. Rare Jamaican Cow Tongue filler adds sweetness and depth. Two wrapper options: smooth Connecticut Shade (Zola) and bold Maduro (Django). Medium to medium-full body, each uniquely balanced. Highlights Jamaican-Nicaraguan fusion unseen anywhere else.
