El Diablo Maduro Soft Box Press Aged 2+ Years
El Diablo Maduro Soft Box Press Aged 2+ Years Size: 5 1/2×50Vitola: Soft Box Press RobustoWrapper: Maduro (Origin Undisclosed)Binder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Chocolate, dried stone fruit, cedar, leather, berries, cream, raisins, briochePairing Notes: Cognac, dark rum, chocolate covered blueberries, chocolate with apricot, raisins, Goobers candyManufacturer: Purple Sky Cigars (Mexico) Privada Storytelling The story of El Diablo Maduro is just as wild as the men who created it. Purple Sky Cigars isn’t your typical boutique outfit—it’s run by three men with turbulent pasts, each carrying the weight of redemption and grit. Hector found faith behind prison walls, Tommy shakes with nervous energy but channels it into passion, and Paul—the road warrior with sharp humor—drove a white van across the country for 45 hours straight, cigar delivery in tow, refusing even food or rest. There’s a raw honesty in Purple Sky’s story, and it seeps into the cigars they make. These aren’t the polished offerings from massive factories. They’re scrappy, daring, imperfectly perfect smokes born of determination and survival. El Diablo Maduro, with its dark wrapper and rebellious heart, is exactly the kind of cigar Privada embraces: a reminder that passion can come from unexpected places. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dried stone fruits like plum and apricot layered over rich chocolate and cream. Sweet cedar, leather, and a berry tang splash across the tongue while hints of charred wood linger on the finish. Second Third: Chocolate remains at the core, joined by faint Italian herbs, brioche-like breadiness, cream, and bursts of white pepper. The retrohale glows with aging-room cedar and fruit sweetness. Final Third: A crescendo of golden raisins, blueberries, chocolate, cream, and cedar, capped by a spicy black pepper finish. Smoke remains creamy and balanced, leaving the palate stained with dessert-like richness. Why It Belongs in Privada El Diablo Maduro isn’t polished—it’s raw, it’s edgy, and it’s born of real people who clawed their way back from chaos. Privada thrives on these stories: cigars that come not only with flavor but with grit, struggle, and redemption in their DNA. Smoking this cigar isn’t just about savoring chocolate and fruit—it’s about lighting up a piece of the human condition.
