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.

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.

If the name sounds familiar, it should—Hostos is both the cousin of Terence Reilly of Aganorsa and the nephew of Manolo Quesada of Quesada Cigars. With a family lineage this rich in cigar heritage, Hostos took a bold step into independence, launching La Isla to craft cigars that combine tradition with modern flair. Privada was among the first to partner with La Isla, choosing this maduro blend from early test runs. The habano sibling cigar ended up in our playful “Cigars We Hate” program, but this San Andrés robusto was an instant love affair. Over 3 years of age have polished its flavors, showing just how serious La Isla is about quality. While other clubs rushed in later, we were first to stake our flag on the island—and Bonita Bonita Bonita remains one of the gems of that discovery. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a savory medley of salted popcorn, toasted almond, cream, vanilla bean, and fragrant cedar. Black pepper, cardamom, and delicate florals weave throughout, while the retrohale delivers subtle caramel, citrus brightness, and more florals over a cedar backbone. Second Third: Flavors deepen into stone fruits, stronger citrus, and a bouquet of florals. Umami elements emerge—brown sugar, browned butter, and a dash of vanilla—giving this portion a gourmand quality rarely found in a maduro robusto. Final Third: Peanut shell, honey graham, aged cedar, and cereal grains define the finale. White pepper tingles on the retrohale while bread and roasted notes close out the experience. A cigar full of dynamism, demanding patience and appreciation as it reveals layers of complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada Bonita Bonita Bonita is proof that Privada leads where others follow. Before La Isla became the industry darling, we were already placing Hostos’ work in members’ hands. This release is both a showcase of San Andrés maduro’s potential in Dominican craftsmanship and a testament to Privada’s commitment to finding brilliance before the rest of the world catches on. Aged over 3 years, it’s an introduction to the future of Dominican boutique cigars.

This isn’t just a cigar—it’s a glimpse into what patience, soil, and craft can achieve. The Supreme Leaf has become a modern classic for Aganorsa. But the PCC Exclusive 6×50 Box Press remains a Privada signature, a size that belongs to this club alone, matured into an experience you cannot find anywhere else. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursts with Nicaraguan character—bright orange, apricot, cream, red pepper, and fresh cedar. The volcanic soils of Estelí and Jalapa shine through with vibrant spice and sweetness, underpinned by a faint berry note. Second Third: Red pepper and apricot persist, joined by cream and sharp cedar. The smoke grows richer, bringing in aromas of pilon-fermented tobacco, canned peaches, and clouds tinged with charcoal. Full-flavored, bold, and distinctly Nicaraguan. Final Third: The cigar softens slightly, but the richness remains. Apricot and red pepper weave with cream, cedar, and nuttiness. A subtle sweetness lingers on the finish, leaving you wanting more as the nub burns hot. Why It Belongs in Privada The Aganorsa Supreme Leaf has become a phenomenon, but only Privada members can access this exclusive 6×50 box press redux. With three years of careful aging, it delivers an experience far beyond the original—refined, balanced, and steeped in Nicaraguan heritage. This is what Privada does best: securing exclusives, aging them with care, and reintroducing them at the peak of perfection.

The finish is short but explosive, leaving spice and cream on the palate.Pairing Notes: Designed for a quick yet powerful smoke, pair it with espresso, rye whiskey, or a strong craft lager. For summer evenings, enjoy it with a chilled daiquiri or a neat pour of bourbon.Manufacturer: My Father Cigars, Estelí, Nicaragua (for Tatuaje) Privada Storytelling The word Cohetes means “rockets” in Spanish, and that’s exactly what Pete Johnson envisioned when he launched this short-format powerhouse. Originally released in 2006 in very limited runs, the Cohetes became something of a unicorn—talked about by collectors, rarely seen in circulation. Its purpose was simple: a compact vitola that exploded with flavor and strength, perfect for those who wanted the Tatuaje experience in under an hour. Revived in the Corojo wrapper, the Cohetes keeps its firecracker DNA but adds the elegance and spice of Ecuadorian Corojo leaf. Rolled at My Father Cigars in Estelí, this petit robusto carries the same boldness of its larger siblings but in a size that feels urgent, celebratory, and unforgettable. Like the rockets it’s named after, it makes an impression that lasts long after the smoke fades. Flavor Journey From the very first puff, spice erupts with red pepper and cedar, commanding attention. Quickly, roasted peanuts and leather steady the profile, while cocoa and toasted bread add richness. Midway, flashes of sweetness—hints of citrus and molasses—appear, balancing the bold Corojo spice. The final act is sharp but creamy, with earth and pepper lingering as the smoke comes to its fast, fiery close. Why It Belongs in Privada The Tatuaje Cohetes Corojo embodies what Privada members love most: history, rarity, and intensity in a boutique format. It’s the kind of cigar that collectors talk about in hushed tones and light up when they want to savor a moment without committing to a larger vitola.

For something softer, try it with café con leche in the afternoon.Manufacturer: My Father Cigars, Estelí, Nicaragua (for Tatuaje) Privada Storytelling Few cigars in the modern boutique era have the mythos of the T110. Originally released in Hawaii as a test blend (“T” for test, “110” for the millimeter length of the cigar), it was made to be unapologetically strong—a firecracker in a small format. Collectors chased it. Whispers spread. The T110 became legend. The Corojo version takes that power and wraps it in an Ecuadorian Corojo leaf, adding another dimension of spice and tradition. Rolled at My Father in Estelí, it’s a blend that bridges Pete Johnson’s fearless creativity with the Garcia family’s legendary craftsmanship. Smoking it is like revisiting the early days of Tatuaje, when limited runs and cult status were the order of the day. Flavor Journey The cigar lights up with red pepper and earth, unmistakably Corojo-driven. Within the first inch, cedar and leather join the mix, while roasted nuts and cocoa emerge as it burns steady. Midway, the blend shows finesse: subtle citrus zest, hints of sweetness, and waves of cream soften the edges of its bold core. The finish is classic Tatuaje—spice-forward, earthy, and endlessly satisfying. Why It Belongs in Privada The T110 is not just a cigar; it’s a piece of boutique history. Revived in limited production, the Corojo wrapper elevates the cult classic into something even more collectible. Privada members demand access to the rare, the whispered-about, the cigars that others can only dream of finding. The T110 Corojo is exactly that—a powerful story, a short vitola that punches above its weight, and a legacy piece for any serious collector.

El Club del Turro Pedro Albizu Campos
Privada Storytelling Night rain on old cobblestones. A radio in Santurce hums a hymn of resolve as a wooden box opens and the room fills with warm cedar and cocoa. This cigar is a salute to Pedro Albizu Campos, a figure whose name still moves quietly through alleyways and galleries, barbershops and balconies. It tastes like heritage guarded and passed on, like coffee roasted at dawn and sugarcane set to molasses. It is the kind of smoke that makes conversation slow down and stories deepen. Light it when you want a reminder that identity lives in the details and the details live in flavor. Flavor Journey Cold draw leans creamy and sweet with cocoa powder and a hint of plantain. The first puffs bring roasted coffee and cedar with a sprinkle of sea salt that sharpens focus. As the burn line settles, panela sweetness rises and meets toasted almond while black pepper frames the edges of the palate. Midway the profile broadens, pulling in dark chocolate and a soft tropical echo that feels like warm rain on stone. The final act grows deeper and more grounded, coffee shifting toward espresso and cedar toward aged wood, leaving a long finish of cacao and gentle spice that lingers like a promise. Why It Belongs in Privada Because culture deserves a seat at the table. This release honors a legacy while delivering a modern boutique profile that rewards slow smoking and attentive palates.

Reinier Lorenzo’s Masterpiece isn’t just another Habano — it’s a lesson in how terroir, tradition, and artistry collide. It belongs in Privada because it exemplifies the educational, flavorful, and collectible ethos our members expect.

The Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay is exactly that: a Lancero exclusive made for Privada members only, a bold experiment that went from a near-miss to a masterpiece. When this blend first landed, it was rough—fiery, unbalanced, even disappointing. We nearly wrote it off. But Privada’s patience is its secret weapon. After nearly a year of resting and proper aging, the Gunplay reemerged as something spectacular. What was once sharp became savory, sweet, and complex—a profile unlike any Kristoff before it. Named Gunplay for its risky move into a lancero format (Kristoff even warned it could be “dangerous”), this cigar has become one of the most unforgettable Privada exclusives to date. It doesn’t whisper its flavors; it kicks down the door with spice, sweetness, and umami. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dark toasted bread, minerals, dried figs, prunes, and red currant, balanced by red pepper and salt. A musty sweetness begins to layer in as the bread note anchors the foundation. Second Third: Things get wild—black cherry soda, teriyaki beef jerky, maple wood, and floral powdery smoke. The sensation is sweet, savory, and spicy, like the perfect bite of Chinese orange chicken fresh from the wok. Final Third: A crescendo of soy sauce, black cherry, orange zest, fried batter, red pepper oil, and charred wood, finishing with an earthy clay note. The spice lingers long after the last puff, demanding reflection on what you just smoked. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar proves the Privada philosophy: sometimes greatness just needs time. What began as a rough, almost unsmokeable cigar became, after patient aging, a spicy, savory, sweet revelation. Kristoff’s boldest blend in a daring vitola, exclusive to Privada, transformed into what may be one of the most unique cigars of the year. This is what we live for—the magic of aging, the thrill of risk, and the satisfaction of discovery.
