Named for Phil and Shelly Hogan, longtime supporters of the Southern Draw mission, this blend is a tribute to loyalty, legacy, and strength in quiet places. It’s the rare kind of release that speaks softly but smokes with gravity. For Privada, this is a perfect storm: an Indonesian Besuki wrapper rarely seen in this refinement, married to AJ Fernandez precision and the heart of a family-run brand. It’s botanical, bold, and deeply intentional—like a sacred grove hidden behind a monastery door. Flavor Journey The first draws bloom with sandalwood, dried fig, and a touch of green tea. A peppery kick emerges on the retrohale, balancing the sweeter cedar and honey notes. The core develops complexity—citrus oils, gingerbread spice, and subtle floral tannins. Mid-smoke, the profile deepens into earth, leather, and baking spice, with nutmeg and cardamom taking center stage. The final stretch is long and contemplative—aromatic wood, toasted nut, and a silky minerality that lingers past the last puff. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Privada is about storytelling, and the Cedrus Hogan is a living tribute. This cigar captures the depth of gratitude and the complexity of rare tobaccos wrapped in an unexpected silhouette. It’s a lesson in harmony—flavor, meaning, and purpose in one slow-burning message. For those who appreciate boutique craftsmanship wrapped in reverence, this is more than a cigar—it’s a monument in smoke.

Casa Fernandez Cigars Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Robusto
Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva Robusto Size: 5.25 × 52Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo 99 (Jalapa)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan (Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 from Aganorsa farms)Flavor Notes: Red pepper, toasted cedar, espresso, caramelized sugar, baking spice, leather, dark chocolate, roasted almond, sweet earth, floral undertonePairing Notes: Espresso, tawny port, spiced hot chocolate, bourbon, almond croissant, mole poblano, Turkish coffee, cinnamon teaManufacturer: Aganorsa Leaf (formerly Casa Fernandez); produced at TABSA, Miami, Florida Privada Storytelling There’s a reason the Miami Reserva Robusto is a cult favorite among those who know. Rolled in Miami’s Little Havana by Cuban-trained rollers, this isn’t mass-market—it’s a handcrafted salute to Cuban heritage executed with Nicaraguan power. Casa Fernandez (now Aganorsa Leaf) staked its name on growing the best tobacco outside Cuba, and this cigar proves it. In Privada, this is one of those “if you know, you know” smokes. Small batch, Miami made, and pulsing with intensity. It’s a cigar that doesn’t ask for permission—it asserts presence. Flavor Journey From the jump, red pepper lights up the retrohale while dark chocolate and espresso settle the core. A toasted cedar note begins to glide beneath the spice, carrying roasted almonds and a light caramelized sweetness. As it progresses, a deep leather backbone forms, flanked by baking spices, sweet earth, and a touch of floral brightness. The finish delivers an elegant burn of pepper and chocolate, never harsh, always assertive. A rich, compact journey with zero wasted space. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is Miami magic in a box. The Reserva Robusto isn’t made to be trendy—it’s made to represent. Heritage rollers, Aganorsa’s elite leaf, and old-world sensibilities fused into one of the most complete robustos ever rolled in the States. For Privada, it’s a chance to hold a piece of living history—where classic Cuban craftsmanship meets bold Nicaraguan soul.

Tatuaje Cigars Tatuaje Black

Born as Pete Johnson’s personal travel cigar, it first appeared in ceramic jars handed out to die-hard fans and friends. What followed was myth: people whispering about its strength, its flavor, its complete lack of compromise. Over the years it returned—sometimes in cabinets, sometimes in tubos—but always with the same unfiltered attitude. It’s raw elegance wrapped in black band mystery. In Privada, it holds the line between tradition and rebellion, delivering heritage via volcanic Nicaraguan grit. Flavor Journey Lighting up brings dark roast coffee and a blast of Nicaraguan pepper. As it warms, the burn produces caramelized sugar, dry cedar, and earthy spice. Midway, leather, herbal brightness, and subtle cherry skin emerge, riding on rich volcanic soil and cedar resin. The final third lands with charred graham cracker, black licorice, and a flinty mineral finish. It’s punchy, bold, and unrefined in the best way—a flavor-forward ride that leaves you marked. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Tatuaje Black was never about hype—it was about expression. It’s a cigar made for someone who’s seen through the gloss and wants tobacco in its natural voice. Pete Johnson’s original blend for himself turned out to be a blueprint for what boutique cigars could be: rough-edged, full of heart, and unapologetically real. In Privada, that’s gospel.

Reinier Lorenzo of HVC Cigars unearthed vintage-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos and rolled them into this ode to old-school Cuban flavor through the lens of Aganorsa’s best. There’s no rush here. Every leaf was given years to rest, breathe, and evolve before a single one was ignited. In Privada, we treasure aged elegance, and the Vieja Cosecha No. 2 is like pulling a forgotten vintage bottle from a locked cellar. You don’t rush it. You honor it. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with a comforting mix of honeyed toast and roasted hay. Dry cedar and a subtle citrus note introduce elegance, while white pepper tingles softly on the retrohale. The core remains nutty, balanced with graham cracker and floral chamomile. In the middle, baking spice and toasted walnut add warmth. The final third reveals earthy depth with hints of citrus rind and dry grass, ending in a mild pepper fade and aromatic wood finish. It’s a quiet, introspective ride—never loud, always graceful. Why It Belongs in Privada Because time is flavor. The Vieja Cosecha No. 2 is proof that aging isn’t just a marketing line—it’s a devotion to patience. In a world full of speed, this cigar slows everything down. It’s restrained, classic, and built for reflection. Privada thrives on cigars that whisper when others shout. This is the cigar you light when the room is quiet and the music’s on vinyl.

Asylum Cigars Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata 652 (Toro)
Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata 652 Size: 6 × 52Vitola: Toro (Medulla = parejo; Oblongata = box-pressed)Wrapper: Honduran CorojoBinder: HonduranFillers: Honduran (Jamastran and Trojes regions)Flavor Notes: Roasted peanut, milk chocolate, leather, black pepper, baking spice, toasted oak, sweet earth, vanilla cream, coffee beanPairing Notes: Peanut brittle, café con leche, vanilla porter, bourbon, rye Old Fashioned, churros, chocolate-covered almonds, cola with limeManufacturer: Asylum Cigars (CLE Cigar Company); produced at El Aladino Factory, Danlí, Honduras Privada Storytelling The name alone grabs you. Medulla Oblongata—it sounds like a secret weapon or a line from a cigar noir film. But beneath that wild branding lies a brilliant concept: two cigars, one round (Medulla), one box-pressed (Oblongata), both rolled with the same tobacco. It’s a study in geometry, combustion, and flavor perception. And it’s not just clever—it’s downright delicious. Privada champions experiments that stick the landing, and this one lands with a fistful of flavor and a wink. A Honduran puro with brains and brawn? Count us in. Flavor Journey The toro opens with roasted peanut and pepper spice, settling into milk chocolate and dry earth. As it warms, vanilla cream and toasted oak layer in, balanced by coffee bean and gentle leather. Mid-smoke offers baking spice and black pepper on the retrohale, while a sweet, nutty base holds steady. The final third leans richer—more leather, more cocoa, and a lingering caramelized nuttiness that coats the palate. Whether in round or pressed form, it stays bold, balanced, and surprisingly smooth. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Medulla Oblongata doesn’t just deliver a great smoke—it asks a question: can the same leaf taste different just by changing the shape? And the answer is yes. That curiosity, that willingness to play while still respecting the craft, is exactly why Privada exists. This is a cigar that doesn't care about the rules—it rewrites them with chalk, lights up, and blows them away.

It's not just highbrow—it’s high drama. For Privada, this cigar speaks to a rare confluence: heritage, craftsmanship, and an unshakable sense of presence. It’s not flashy. It’s formidable. Think velvet chairs, candlelight, and a hidden revolver in a desk drawer. Flavor Journey It opens boldly with red pepper and charred oak, followed by waves of dark cocoa and leather. As it settles, rich notes of black tea, clove, and cedar create a layered middle that dances between spicy and savory. Dried plum and molasses sweeten the back half, while baking spice lingers softly on the finish. The smoke is silky but dense, offering both richness and restraint—a regal ride from spark to nub. Why It Belongs in Privada Because it’s the cigar that bridges two worlds: old-world aristocracy and new-world power. The Highclere Castle Victorian captures that rare duality—refined but fearless.

It’s Downton Abbey meets volcanic soil, and the result is unforgettable refinement.

This is a cigar for thinkers, for dreamers, for those who enjoy the finer things without needing to announce them.

In Privada, we honor cigars born from rebellion and deep personal vision. Mi Querida isn’t meant to please the masses—it’s built for those who know what real flavor tastes like when nothing is held back.

As the cigar warms, leather, smoke, and wood creep in, swirling around a molasses-meets-anise core. Midway, the body intensifies but never overpowers—notes of charred sugar, mineral, and subtle sweetness battle in perfect tension. The final third is a dense crescendo: smoked meat, bittersweet cocoa, and a flinty finish that clings like a memory.

For Privada, it’s a badge of authenticity. Steve Saka built this with raw materials, raw passion, and no filters. It speaks to the soul of the cigar smoker who doesn’t care what’s trending—only what’s true. It’s one of the few cigars that punches this hard while staying balanced, and that’s no accident.

Newman Cigar Co. Privada Storytelling Cue the soundtrack: “I’m talking bout the good life…” This is that moment when luxury and legacy align, and a cigar becomes more than tobacco—it becomes a lifestyle. A few months back, I got a call from J.C. Newman in Tampa, Florida, one of the most historic and respected names in cigars. They wanted to talk about community, about culture, about what makes Privada so powerful. Naturally, I turned the conversation back to you, our members, because without you there is no Privada. The collaboration turned into more than just a meeting. It became a cigar—a statement piece in Broadleaf—that I personally designed the band for and oversaw during blending. The Good Life was born from the oldest family-owned cigar company in America, a company fighting tirelessly for this industry against FDA overreach. It represents celebration, decadence, and heritage. This isn’t just a cigar; it’s a chocolate cake in smoke form, a reminder that indulgence has its place in life, and that place is here and now. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursts of baker’s spice—nutmeg, fresh-baked bread, pine, and the unmistakable richness of chocolate babka. Notes of red wine, sugar sweetness, florals, and a peppery undertone create a decadent opening. Second Third: The sweetness dials back, replaced with Italian herb seasoning, cedar, and grainy tones reminiscent of sugar smacks cereal. Breadiness remains strong while sandalwood and smoke add depth. Final Third: Chili seasoning spice enters, with more florals and cedar lifting the palate. The profile becomes a gourmet chocolate cake seasoned with herbs, roasted nuts, and unique spices. A menthol-like coolness emerges on the finish, leaving an unforgettable impression. Why It Belongs in Privada Because celebration is part of cigar culture, and no other cigar captures celebration quite like this one. The Good Life stands as proof that Privada can collaborate with giants like J.C. Newman while still pushing creativity and flavor forward. This isn’t a corporate blend—it’s a love letter to indulgence, heritage, and community. It belongs in Privada because it’s not just a cigar; it’s an experience reserved for those who know how to savor life.

In Privada, we celebrate cigars that hold space—where each puff feels like part of a greater moment. This is a cigar designed to accompany memory, music, or quiet ritual. It’s not a smoke break.

Reinier Lorenzo, the man behind HVC, is a Havana-born visionary who once worked in a science lab before dedicating his life to the leaf. With the voice of a dictator and the heart of a true craftsman, Reinier has built a reputation for blending cigars full of body, aroma, and authenticity. This PCC Exclusive 2019 represents his second attempt at the perfect Privada cigar. The first blend he sent was so powerful it risked overwhelming some members. When asked for more balance without losing its punch, he came back with this masterpiece. What you’re smoking now is the refinement of that first attempt, and the result is extraordinary. But here’s the kicker: the rare Maduro Ligero tobacco used in this blend is notoriously difficult to grow and nearly impossible to procure in quantity. That means what you hold in your hands is one of the few cigars of its kind. Originally ordered when the club was smaller, not every member got one in their box—but those who did, and those who still can, know this is a once-in-a-blue-moon experience. Flavor Journey First Third: Leather, cream, roasted peanuts, and pepper define the opening. Notes of espresso and dried herbs weave through a creamy, balanced smoke. Second Third: Sharp cedar arrives on the retrohale, joined by toasted coconut, white pepper, and leather. A sweetness develops, reminiscent of agave syrup, coating the tongue with richness and depth. Final Third: The cigar crescendos with agave syrup sweetness, dried thyme, citrus zest, vanilla, and lemon. Leather remains steady as the profile closes with balance, finesse, and lingering complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada The HVC PCC Exclusive is the definition of what Privada stands for: rarity, authenticity, and storytelling. Reinier Lorenzo gave us not just a cigar, but a glimpse into his evolving artistry. With rare Maduro Ligero tobacco at its core, this cigar is unrepeatable. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. For collectors, for smokers, for believers in the craft—this is one to treasure.
