Yoo-Hoo
Yoo Hoo Size: 6 x 54Vitola: Box Pressed ToroWrapper: Maduro DominicanBinder: DominicanFillers: Dominican longfillersFactory: Tabacalera RivasAged: 6 Years Flavor Notes: Dark chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, almond, leather, candied cherry, espressoPairing Notes: Barrel aged rum, stout, porter, concentrated espresso Privada Storytelling Chico Rivas quietly made cigars that many people were never supposed to smoke. Yoo Hoo became one of those blends whispered about more than discussed openly. A Dominican maduro built around unapologetic chocolate character and hidden away long enough that collectors started treating it more like folklore than inventory. Six years of age changed everything. The box pressed 6 x 54 format gives the smoke density and patience while the Dominican maduro core keeps the profile balanced instead of overwhelming. Chocolate is everywhere in this cigar, but not candy sweetness. Dark cocoa. Espresso bitterness. Toasted almond. Dry cherry beneath the surface. This is the cigar people hand to friends when they want silence after the first draw. Flavor Journey The opening introduces bitter dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and toasted almond over a soft Dominican earthiness. As the cigar develops, espresso bitterness and cherry sweetness begin layering together while leather and roasted nuts build body underneath. The final third becomes darker and more mature, settling into molasses, leather, cocoa, and a long dry cherry finish that lingers well after the cigar ends. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is the type of Dominican maduro most smokers rarely encounter anymore. Long aged. Chocolate forward. Thick without becoming muddy. Built by one of the quiet legends of Dominican tobacco. Production Notes Produced at Tabacalera Rivas and aged six years before release. Box pressed 6 x 54 toro format designed to emphasize density, slower combustion, and long chocolate driven transitions.

American Bully
American Bully Size: 6 x 54Vitola: ToroWrapper: Mexican San Andrés MaduroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan and DominicanFlavor Notes: Molasses, dark cocoa, charred oak, black cherry, black pepper, roasted nuts, leatherPairing Notes: Cold brew with cream, barrel-aged stout, grilled short ribs, mole poblano, root beer floatManufacturer: Tabacalera Annex by AJ Fernandez Privada Storytelling Born of grit, muscle, and misunderstood brilliance, the American Bully is a tribute to the misunderstood champions of both the canine and cigar world. Crafted at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Annex factory in Estelí, this Privada exclusive channels raw power with refined balance. Like the breed it's named after, it may appear aggressive at first glance, but beneath the muscular exterior is complexity, loyalty to the craft, and undeniable charm. Wrapped in oily Mexican San Andrés and filled with aged Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, this cigar was built for those who aren’t afraid to stand out. It barks with strength but never bites—delivering a layered, slow-burning experience that transitions between robust and smooth with a kind of streetwise elegance. This is not just a cigar; it’s a declaration. A flex for the bold, the misunderstood, and the loyal few who know that strength and sophistication can—and should—coexist. Flavor Journey From the first puff, American Bully delivers molasses and dark cocoa with a dry pepper kick through the retrohale. The middle third opens with roasted nuts and bitter cherry wrapped in savory umami, while leather and charred oak usher in the final third, bringing earth and spice in unison with a black coffee finish. Retrohales sharpen and soften with pacing, rewarding patience with complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This is the kind of cigar that would never make it to mainstream shelves. Too bold, too rich, too unapologetically itself. But in the hands of Privada, it becomes a statement piece—a rare collaboration between authenticity and aggression. This cigar reflects what Privada stands for: the brave, the boutique, the beautifully imperfect. A cigar for those who know what it means to be misunderstood, and proudly so. Production Notes American Bully was rolled in a single small batch at the Tabacalera Annex facility, which AJ Fernandez created specifically to produce limited runs for boutique partners. The blend was initially developed as a house favorite but was never greenlit for mass production until Privada discovered its potential. Production was capped and allocated exclusively through Limited Cigar Association retailers.

Chocolate Covered Cherry
Chocolate Covered Cherry Size: 5.5 x 54Vitola: Box Pressed RobustoWrapper: Cuban seed grown in Estelí, NicaraguaBinder: Estelí NicaraguaFillers: Estelí and select Central American cores aged with Hector Luis Prieto Díaz seedFactory: MontenegroAged: 7 Years Flavor Notes: Milk chocolate, fresh cherry, cocoa powder, pistachio, hazelnut spread, baking spice, brownie sweetnessPairing Notes: Aged rum, Pedro Ximénez sherry, concentrated espresso, dark porter Privada Storytelling Hector Luis Prieto Díaz brought Cuban seed to Nicaragua and the result feels almost unfair. Chocolate Covered Cherry is one of those cigars that sounds exaggerated until you smoke it. Seven years of age transformed the blend into something dense, creamy, and unmistakably dessert driven without ever crossing into flavored territory. The box pressed 5.5 x 54 format gives the cigar weight in the hand and a slower burn that lets every layer settle into place. What starts as milk chocolate sweetness evolves into dark cocoa, roasted nuts, and warm cherry syrup notes that feel woven into the tobacco itself. This is a cigar that understands restraint.Sweetness without gimmicks.Depth without heaviness. Flavor Journey The opening delivers warm cocoa dust, soft macadamia, and a faint cherry aroma before immediately transitioning into creamy milk chocolate and fresh cherry sweetness. The second third deepens into pistachio, hazelnut spread, and dark cocoa layered over subtle baking spice and brownie batter richness. By the final third, tempered cherry bitterness and long cocoa powder notes settle into a rich, lingering finish touched by salinity and roasted earth. Why It Belongs in Privada Because cigars like this almost never survive long enough to age properly. Seven years transformed this blend into something balanced, mature, and impossible to rush. It feels less like a release and more like opening a forgotten humidor that somehow improved every year nobody touched it. Production Notes Produced at Montenegro using Cuban seed grown in Estelí with tobacco connected to Hector Luis Prieto Díaz’s seed lineage. Aged seven years before release in a box pressed 5.5 x 54 format.

(Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The story of The Rio is as unexpected as it is delicious. Black Bird Cigar Co., already beloved by Privada members for releases like the Fast Eddie, reached out after seeing the wave of love you gave them. They had something special tucked away: a cigar they’d been smoking for themselves, crafted with a rare pairing of Brazilian wrapper and binder over Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Because of FDA restrictions, this blend could never be sold under their branding. For years, it just sat there in the Dominican Republic—resting, aging, and waiting. When I saw it, I knew instantly: this was Privada material. We gave it the name The Rio, with a ribbon design inspired by Christ the Redeemer, and what we ended up with is more than just a cigar—it’s a collectible, a statement, and an experience. Aged for over four years now, this cigar has matured into something almost Padron-esque, blending rich darkness with bursts of sweetness. Smoky, chocolaty, herbal, and floral—it’s a masterpiece rescued from obscurity and shared with those who understand. Flavor Journey First Third: Starts with a blast of bread, black pepper, chocolate, and charcoal. Sweet creamy smoke envelops flavors of dark cherry, raisin, cocoa, and leather. Hints of sarsaparilla root and dark brandy sweetness add intrigue. Second Third: Evolves into roasted nuts, prunes, espresso, cocoa, and salty peanuts. The floral notes peek through, joined by prune-like dried fruits and more earthy richness. Retrohale delivers black pepper and savory depth. Final Third: Flavors meld together beautifully—berries fade but sweetness lingers, freeze-dried fruit meets cocoa, charred wood, herbs, and salted peanuts. White pepper and bread notes on the finish create a savory, balanced close. Why It Belongs in Privada The Rio embodies what Privada is all about: uncovering blends the world would otherwise never see. It’s not just rare—it’s impossible outside of this club. A cigar made for personal enjoyment by Black Bird’s own team, aged patiently, and resurrected for Privada members. This cigar proves that some of the greatest treasures are hidden, waiting for the right moment to shine.

This cigar is more than an aged release—it’s a tribute to the patience and craft that define Privada’s mission.

Originally released as part of the infamous Sharpie Series, its name became the center of legal tension, but its identity never faltered. What matters most has always been the leaf—and here, the leaf tells a story. Jochy Blanco, a master of Dominican tobacco with a lineage steeped in legacy, put his touch on this project, weaving together Dominican richness with a hint of Peruvian intrigue. For three years, these cigars have been resting under Privada’s watchful aging process, evolving, deepening, and becoming something entirely unique. The sweetness that first put this cigar on the map is still present, but now it carries a spicier, more mature edge—like a jazz riff that’s been played a thousand times and somehow gets better with every note. This redux is more than a re-release. It’s a testament to what happens when patience, tradition, and defiance converge. Privada brings you back to the roots of its cult legacy, with a cigar destined not only to be smoked but to be remembered. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sesame seed oil, cedar, white flowers, and black pepper. A flash of horseradish and candied ginger gives the profile a sharp edge, while unripe mango adds a tart intrigue. The smoke is oily and light, carrying an almost bacon-like satisfaction. Retrohale delivers a warm ribbon of cinnamon. Second Third: The profile transitions into honey-roasted almonds, smoked paprika, sea salt, and aged cedar. Black pepper lingers while menthol adds cooling balance. Dark chocolate, tree sap, and bourbon notes meld with the cedar, creating a layered richness both earthy and refined. Final Third: Sweet woods and milk chocolate dominate, enriched by cinnamon, crème de menthe, and faint bourbon barrel. Musty olor—a signature of elite Dominican blends—appears, wrapping the experience in old-world depth. Powdery, creamy smoke leaves a lasting impression of luxury and craft. Why It Belongs in Privada Not Tony was never just a cigar; it was a movement. From the Sharpie Series to its redux after three years of Privada-controlled aging, this release embodies everything Privada stands for: boundary-pushing creativity, uncompromising quality, and the preservation of rare artistry. By placing this cigar back in your hands, Privada cements its role as curator of not only fine tobacco, but of cultural touchpoints in modern cigar history.

D'Crossier Cigars D'Crossier Habano Aged 7+ Years
D’Crossier Habano Aged 7+ Years Size: 5x46Vitola: Corona GordaWrapper: HabanoBinder: Criollo 98Fillers: DominicanFlavor Notes: Cedar, cream, toasted spice, dried fruit, earthy barnyard, subtle sweetnessPairing Notes: Cognac, espresso with sugar, Cuban coffee, cedar-aged rum, light red wines, toasted almondsManufacturer: D’Crossier Privada Storytelling In the world of cigar artisans, there are magicians, warlocks, and wizards. Santana of D’Crossier is pure wizardry. Born in Cuba and shaped by the rhythms of his homeland, Santana has always been known as the cigar maker’s cigar maker—the one other blenders whisper about with admiration. For years in South Florida, his creations set the standard, even as he retreated underground, quietly focusing on tobacco, processes, and tradition. He doesn’t chase the spotlight, he doesn’t market; he simply blends with devotion and lets his cigars speak for themselves. This Habano, aged over 7 years, is a time capsule of Santana’s artistry. Professionally matured in cedar, it isn’t just a cigar—it’s a masterclass in how wood can shape and transform flavor. Where many cigars offer notes reminiscent of cedar, here you taste the cedar itself, layered and woven into every puff. It’s a rare chance to both experience and learn, deepening your palate in the process. Flavor Journey The opening draws you into a cedar forest, unmistakable and alive, with creamy undertones and an earthy barnyard base. A sweetness lingers at the edges—dried fruit and honey kissed with toasted spice. As the cigar develops into the second third, the cedar evolves into richer, sharper woodiness, balanced by cream, toasted almond, and faint pepper. There’s a sophisticated dryness to the smoke that keeps the flavors tight and focused. In the final third, the cigar becomes more contemplative: cedar returns with intensity, layered with leather, roasted nuts, and faint mineral earth. A whisper of sweetness closes the journey, proving the power of age. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about education, adventure, and access—and this cigar embodies all three. The D’Crossier Habano Aged 7+ Years is not just a fine cigar but a living lesson in cedar-aging. It teaches you to identify wood not as a background note, but as the centerpiece of a cigar. It also connects members with the wizardry of Santana, one of the most respected but enigmatic figures in modern cigar making. This is a cigar you cannot find just anywhere, and it perfectly represents the Privada promise: discovery, depth, and legacy.

Mid-smoke: Transitions to dry tea-leaf and straw flavors, layered with sourdough bread, earth, cocoa nibs, and espresso beans. Vanilla-syrup sweetness lingers on the retrohale . Final third: Sharp heat emerges—pepper, robust espresso, maple/nutmeg, and citrus zest, all balanced by earth and wood core flavors; bittersweet note rounds out the finish . Performance & Strength Body: Mild-to-medium, easing into mild-plus mid-smoke Strength: Starts mild, building to medium by the end of the first third and settling in mild-plus to medium territory Construction: Firm draw, clean burn, stable ash; occasional touch-ups mid-burn but overall highly reliable Why It Belongs in Privada Privada celebrates nuanced daily rituals—and this cigar is a prime example. It’s not a blockbuster; it’s a companion. It offers texture without taxing, flavor without overstatement. The balance between tradition (Connecticut wrapper) and twist (meaty taco spice) matches Privada’s belief: everyday cigars deserve narrative.

And what better way to mark the season than with a lancero that embodies both power and finesse? The AJ Fernandez Scrooge Aged 6+ Years is our quarterly nod to the lancero lovers out there, but this one carries a special weight. Crafted by the youngest-ever recipient of Cigar Journal’s Lifetime Achievement Award, AJ Fernandez himself, this cigar shows why Nicaragua has claimed its throne as the modern cigar capital. The band art takes a nostalgic turn, reminding us of illustrated tales from childhood—ironic, given this cigar is anything but child’s play. It’s bold, deeply satisfying, and designed for the evening: the close of a long day, a hearty meal behind you, and a good whiskey in hand. This is the cigar you light when you want a moment to feel bigger than life, a reminder that tobacco is not just plant and paper—it’s story, memory, and mastery rolled together. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a surprising spicy honey note, accented by graham cracker sweetness, red pepper bite, apricot tang, and a hint of sesame seed oil. The retrohale pushes black pepper with a faint charcoal-like peatiness. Second Third: Cream and cedar dominate now, with mocha sliding in to enrich the texture. Red pepper remains persistent, balanced by apricot’s sharp fruitiness. A finish of cinnamon heat—like fireball candy—adds a playful kick. Final Third: Apricot resurfaces, entwined with black pepper, cream, and aged cedar. The profile closes with a deep, satisfying “cedar room” flavor, unique and unforgettable, like walking into a perfectly seasoned aging room. Why It Belongs in Privada Scrooge is more than a lancero—it’s proof of AJ Fernandez’s artistry, a window into the core of what makes Nicaraguan tobacco so revered worldwide. Aged two years to achieve perfect balance, it carries strength, sweetness, spice, and soul in every puff. This is the type of cigar that turns casual smokers into collectors and seasoned aficionados into believers.

Not Brian LCA July Release 2026
LCA The NOT Brian Size: 6 x 52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan CorojoBinder: Nicaraguan CriolloFillers: Estelí NicaraguaStrength: Medium to FullFactory: Tabacalera AnnexOrigin: NicaraguaAged: 2 Years Flavor Notes: Cedar, cinnamon, cream, espresso, cocoa, toasted nuts, leather, dark earth, baking spice, black pepperPairing Notes: Espresso, barrel aged bourbon, dark rum, Nicaraguan coffee Privada Storytelling Every now and then, the best ideas begin as a joke. The NOT Brian is exactly that. Created as a tongue-in-cheek release for the Limited Cigar Association and Privada Cigar Club, the name may be playful, but the cigar is anything but. Behind the humor is a serious blend crafted entirely from AJ Fernandez-grown tobaccos and produced at Tabacalera Annex in Estelí. Nothing was rushed. After rolling, the cigars spent two full years aging before release, allowing the Corojo wrapper and Criollo binder to settle into a richer, more refined expression of classic Nicaraguan tobacco. The result is a cigar that delivers intensity without rough edges and complexity without sacrificing power. This isn't a gimmick. It's a deeply aged Nicaraguan puro disguised behind a smile. Flavor Journey The opening introduces cedar, cinnamon, and cream before quickly transitioning into rich espresso and cocoa. The Corojo wrapper provides natural sweetness while the Criollo binder adds structure and spice. As the cigar develops, toasted nuts, leather, and dark earth begin to emerge, creating a profile that is bold yet remarkably smooth thanks to two years of aging. The final third builds into baking spice and black pepper, finishing with a long, satisfying spice that lingers well after the final draw. Why It Belongs in Privada Because it captures what Privada does best. Take exceptional tobacco, give it the time it deserves, and wrap it in a story that makes people smile before they even light it. Behind the name is a genuinely outstanding aged Nicaraguan cigar that rewards smokers looking for depth, balance, and personality. Production Notes Produced at Tabacalera Annex in Estelí using 100% AJ Fernandez-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos. Features a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan Criollo binder, and Estelí filler. Aged for two years prior to its June 2026 Limited Cigar Association release.

Since its inception, Privada Cigar Club has released monthly boxes featuring exclusive cigars that often cannot be found anywhere else. Whether it's a cigar aged quietly for 5 years, a factory experiment that never hit shelves, or a bandless beauty resurrected from a closed warehouse, these cigars form a living archive of modern cigar history. Members have seen unbanded Cuban-soul cigars, the iconic My Blue Heaven, the now-legendary The Frank, and deeply aged vault treasures under the Deadstock label. We've explored the seasons, emotions, hidden farms, lost recipes, and Brian Desind’s own personal stash. Every box has a heartbeat—and each heartbeat belongs to Privada. Flavor Journey While each cigar delivers a unique path, the monthly Privada box offers a journey across regions, processes, and time. From rich, toothy Broadleaf Maduros to delicate aged Corojo, from spicy Ligero-forward smokes to sweet, creamy Connecticuts, the Privada experience unfolds month after month with layered transitions, bold profiles, and reflective slow-burning complexity. Some boxes have carried cigars with only 100 made. Others resurrected blends thought to be lost. The journey is always unexpected, always fresh, and always full of meaning. Why It Belongs in Privada Because it is Privada. These boxes are the foundation of the club, and they’re the reason a movement began. The Monthly Box is how Privada created a new cigar culture—one that values age, story, mystery, and scarcity. It’s where members became collectors, where blends became legends, and where leaf became art. You don’t just open a Privada box—you unlock something sacred.

Every month, Brian Desind—Privada’s founder and unapologetic cigar evangelist—assembles a box that reflects his personal journey through the world of rare tobacco. These are not “staff picks.” These are obsessions, confessions, and provocations in cigar form. Each box is built around a concept—sometimes a mood, sometimes a farm, sometimes a rebellion. From forgotten factory blends to undiscovered masterpieces, from LCA sleeper hits to Desind’s personal stash aged in vaults for years, Brian’s Box is where the mythos of Privada lives loudest. Flavor Journey There is no one journey across Brian’s Boxes—and that’s the magic. One box may hit you with Nicaraguan power, another with Dominican silk.

Another might explore Cuban profiles through the lens of lost family farms. Every puff in Brian’s Box is designed to challenge, teach, and surprise—even the seasoned aficionado. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Brian’s Box is Privada distilled. It’s fearless. It’s intellectual. It’s experimental. It’s everything the traditional cigar world told us not to do—released anyway. These boxes aren’t built to please everyone. They’re built to wake up palates, to elevate cigar knowledge, and to deliver an experience no other club would dare offer. If the Monthly Box is our rhythm, Brian’s Box is our improvisation.
