Seattle Grunge Box
Seattle Grunge Box A member named Ken emailed us out of the blue. He’s been a loyal Privada member for years and asked if we would make a cigar to honor his late brother, Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. Of course we said yes. Over time that idea turned into something bigger. We built a small Seattle Grunge themed collection meant to honor the music and the city that created it. The cigars in this box were selected from aged inventory sitting in Privada coolers and vaults for years. Each cigar was chosen because it fit the mood and character of the bands that inspired them. Inside the Box Nutshell Inspired by Alice in Chains Size: 7x50 Vitola: Churchill Factory: Tabacalera Domingo Gadea Age: 8 Years Dense, rich, and dessert driven with notes of amaretto, chocolate, warm spice, and espresso. This cigar feels heavy handed but balanced, the kind of smoke that slows everything down. Built with Jalapa tobacco and aged patiently until the rough edges disappeared. Nirvana Inspired by Nirvana Size: 6x50 Vitola: Toro Factory: Las Villas Blend: Guillermo Peña for Privada Age: 5 Years The rawest cigar in the set. Floral and grassy at first before moving into toasted grain, black pepper, cocoa, and bittersweet earth. Honest and straightforward with a dry savory backbone and long finish. Soundgarden Inspired by Soundgarden Size: 6x50 Vitola: Toro Factory: DAHOT, Danlí Honduras Age: 6 Years Dark and brooding. Cedar, baking spice, mineral earth, chocolate, and leather all show up here. Slow burning and layered with a long finish. This cigar spent five years aging inside Privada coolers after its original factory aging. The Needle Inspired by Seattle itself Size: 7x38 Vitola: Lancero Factory: El Aladino, Honduras Age: 5 Years Made years ago for Privada Cigar Club at El Aladino in Honduras and aged inside the Privada vault for five years. Produced under the legendary JRE Tobacco Company led by Justo Eiroa, this lancero delivers focused notes of cedar, black pepper, citrus rind, and dry earth with the kind of precision only a properly aged thin ring gauge cigar can provide. Seattle Grunge is not a random sampler. Every cigar was picked because it carried the feeling of the music that inspired it. Moody, honest, dark, and memorable. This is one of the most personal collections we’ve ever released.

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – Michelangelo
El Septimo – Michelangelo Size: PerfectoVitola: PerfectoWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Black pepper, leather, mineral earth, burnt coffee, charred oak, spicePairing Notes: Espresso, peated scotch, barrel proof bourbon, dark roast coffee Privada Storytelling Michelangelo was never meant to be easy. Named after one of history’s greatest artists, this cigar was built around intensity, structure, and discipline. Like the sculptor himself, it demands patience and rewards those willing to give it attention. From the first light, Michelangelo announces itself with force. Strong spice, dense smoke, and a profile that immediately leans darker and sharper than most luxury cigars. But beneath that aggression is precision. The Perfecto format matters here. It concentrates the opening, tightens the smoke, and forces the blend to evolve as the body widens. Every transition feels intentional. Every shift in flavor feels carved rather than blended. This is not a casual cigar.It is a cigar that asks for focus. Flavor Journey The opening hits with black pepper and sharp spice, immediately followed by mineral earth and leather. The narrower foot intensifies the first third, creating a dense and focused delivery. As the cigar opens into the wider body, burnt coffee and charred oak begin to emerge, adding weight and bitterness that balance the spice. The smoke becomes thicker and more textured while maintaining structure. The final third leans fully into dark roast character, with leather, earth, and lingering burnt espresso carrying through a long, dramatic finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this cigar commits completely to its identity. Michelangelo does not soften itself for accessibility. It is bold, spicy, and demanding from beginning to end. Cigars like this divide smokers, and that is exactly why they matter. Privada respects cigars with conviction. Production Notes Part of El Septimo’s artist inspired luxury portfolio. Handmade in Costa Rica using extensively aged tobaccos and produced in a Perfecto format to emphasize progression and structural evolution throughout the smoke. Highlights Artist inspired luxury cigarPerfecto format for concentrated transitionsFull bodied and spice drivenLeather and burnt coffee coreProduced in Costa Rica

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja
El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja Size: 5 x 50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Red wine spice, oak, dark fruit, cedar, earth, leather, subtle sweetnessPairing Notes: Rioja wine, tempranillo, espresso, dark rum Privada Storytelling El Septimo does not make quiet cigars. The Culinary Art Collection was built around the idea that tobacco could interact with the world of fine dining and luxury beverages the same way wine interacts with food. Spain Rioja takes that concept directly into the heart of Spanish winemaking. This 5 x 50 robusto was inspired by the bold character of Rioja reds, with tobacco aged in Rioja barrels to absorb subtle wine driven nuances without turning the cigar into a gimmick. The goal was structure, spice, and depth, not artificial sweetness. The result is a cigar that feels rich and layered while still remaining approachable. This is not a flavored cigar.It is a cigar shaped by environment and aging. Flavor Journey The opening introduces oak, earth, and red fruit spice with a warm, wine like richness sitting underneath the smoke. As the cigar develops, cedar and leather begin building structure while subtle sweetness rounds the sharper edges. Midway, dark fruit and spice become more pronounced, creating a profile that mirrors the layered depth of Rioja wine without overpowering the tobacco itself. The final third settles into oak, earth, and lingering warmth with a balanced finish that stays smooth despite the cigar’s full bodied nature. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is an example of barrel influence done with restraint. Spain Rioja is not trying to imitate wine. It is trying to complement it. The aging process adds character and texture while allowing the cigar to remain tobacco first. That balance is exactly what makes it interesting. Production Notes Part of El Septimo’s Culinary Art Collection inspired by global culinary and beverage traditions. Tobacco aged in Rioja wine barrels to develop additional aroma and complexity. Rated 90 points in Cigar Aficionado’s September 2025 issue.

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – King Sargon Connecticut Robusto

The King Sargon Connecticut Robusto takes the same historic inspiration as its Maduro counterpart but approaches it differently. Refined instead of aggressive. Balanced instead of overwhelming. Part of the limited crossover between El Septimo’s Emperor Collection and Gilgamesh Collection, this cigar was originally reserved for the King Sargon Humidor release before becoming available individually. The goal here was not power. It was control. The Connecticut Shade wrapper completely changes the experience. Instead of density and dark intensity, this version leans creamy, smooth, and composed while still carrying the structure El Septimo is known for. The smaller 4 1/4 x 54 robusto format keeps the profile concentrated, allowing the creaminess and sweetness to stay focused from beginning to end. This is luxury through restraint. Flavor Journey The opening delivers roasted nuts, cedar, and soft vanilla cream with an effortless draw and smooth smoke output. Early sweetness stays delicate, never overpowering the cigar’s structure. Midway, toasted bread and subtle spice begin to develop, adding depth while maintaining balance. The Connecticut wrapper keeps the smoke silky and refined throughout. The final third settles into cream, cedar, and lingering sweetness, finishing clean and relaxed without losing flavor. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this proves luxury cigars do not need brute strength to leave an impression. The King Sargon Connecticut Robusto focuses on texture, balance, and refinement. It is a cigar built for smokers who appreciate smoothness executed correctly, without sacrificing depth or craftsmanship.

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – King Sargon Maduro Robusto
El Septimo – King Sargon Maduro Robusto Size: 4 1/4 x 54Vitola: RobustoWrapper: MaduroBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Dark chocolate, espresso, leather, toasted oak, black pepper, dried fruit, earthPairing Notes: Cognac, espresso, barrel proof bourbon, dark rum Privada Storytelling King Sargon was not just a ruler. He is widely considered one of the first emperors in recorded human history, building the Akkadian Empire thousands of years ago and changing how power itself was understood. El Septimo chose that name carefully because this cigar was built to feel commanding from the first draw. The Maduro Robusto is the most concentrated version in the crossover release between El Septimo’s Emperor Collection and the Gilgamesh Collection. Unlike the larger formats, this 4 1/4 x 54 size compresses the blend and intensifies the delivery. Thick smoke. Dense texture. Immediate impact. This is not a cigar trying to ease into itself. It arrives fully formed. Wrapped in a dark Maduro leaf and produced under El Septimo’s aging philosophy, the cigar balances aggression with refinement. The profile is powerful, but the construction keeps it smooth and controlled. Flavor Journey The opening delivers dark chocolate, espresso, and black pepper immediately, creating a dense and full introduction. As the cigar develops, leather and toasted oak begin to settle into the core, giving the smoke more structure. Midway, dried fruit sweetness and earth begin balancing the darker profile, while the retrohale brings sharper spice and intensity. The final third stays rich and commanding, finishing with lingering cocoa, pepper, and oak. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is excess with purpose. The King Sargon Maduro Robusto does not try to be subtle. It was designed as a luxury full bodied experience built around intensity, concentration, and long aged tobacco. The smaller robusto format makes that profile even more focused. That commitment to the idea is exactly why it belongs in Privada.

Rolled before everything became polished and predictable, this short pigtail robusto carries the kind of old school broadleaf character that modern production rarely allows anymore. Eight years of age rounded the sharp edges without removing the grit that made the blend special in the first place. This is not refined luxury sweetness.This is bakery warmth.Brown sugar on cast iron.Dark chocolate melting into spice. The shorter 4 x 50 format keeps the smoke concentrated and thick from the first draw to the last inch. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with warm molasses, toasted sugar, and bakery cinnamon over a deep broadleaf core. The second third becomes richer and heavier, introducing fudge, brown sugar, roasted pecan, and subtle espresso bitterness beneath the sweetness. The final third leans darker with thick chocolate, caramelized sugar, baking spice, and lingering roasted earth on the finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this tastes like the kind of cigar that disappears forever once the last box is gone. It is vintage broadleaf character preserved through time. Dense, nostalgic, and completely unconcerned with trends. Production Notes Originally produced before Tabacalera Valley’s rebrand and later aged for eight years between factory aging and Privada cooler aging.

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.

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.

Brian’s Barrel Aged
Brian’s Barrel Aged Size: 6 x 54Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut BroadleafBinder: SumatraFillers: Estelí NicaraguaStrength: Medium to Full Has plume on it. Flavor Notes: Vanilla, oak, cherry, white pepper, caramelPairing Notes: Bourbon, barrel aged stout, espresso, dark rum Privada Storytelling This one took five years. Not to blend.To finish. Brian has been working on this Broadleaf cigar with one goal in mind. Not to create something new, but to push something already great into a different place entirely. First, it rested in Privada’s aging coolers for two years. Slow, controlled, deliberate. Then it moved into an ex Jefferson’s bourbon barrel for a full year, allowing the wood, the char, and the residual spirit to interact with the tobacco. After that, it went back into the coolers for another two years to let everything settle and integrate. Five years of movement.Five years of restraint. This is one of the very few cigars Brian will actually say he “finished.” Not blended. Not created. Finished. The Connecticut Broadleaf drives the body. Thick, rich, and naturally sweet. The Sumatra binder adds structure, while the Estelí core keeps the cigar grounded with strength and spice. And then there is the barrel. Not overpowering. Not artificial. Just present enough to add dimension without taking control. Quad banded for a reason. This is meant to be smoked slowly and experienced in stages. Flavor Journey The opening brings vanilla and oak immediately, a direct result of the barrel influence, layered over Broadleaf richness. Cherry sweetness follows, giving the cigar a round, almost dessert like start. Midway, caramel and white pepper begin to balance the sweetness, while the Estelí filler adds structure and depth. The cigar tightens and becomes more focused. The final third leans into oak, spice, and lingering sweetness, finishing long, warm, and controlled without becoming heavy. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is not a blend. It is a process. Five years of aging, movement, and patience turned this into something that cannot be replicated quickly. This is what Privada does at its core. Take time seriously. Production Notes Connecticut Broadleaf cigar aged two years in Privada coolers, followed by one year in an ex Jefferson’s bourbon barrel, then returned to coolers for an additional two years of integration. Finished under Brian’s direction and released in limited quantities.

This one was built for a moment. One Night Stand is exactly what the name suggests. A cigar meant to be experienced in a single sitting, from start to finish, without interruption. Rolled in 2016 and left to age, it carries the kind of smoothness that only time can create. All Dominican. No distractions. What that gives you is clarity. A clean expression of aged Dominican tobacco without anything competing for attention. No heavy wrapper influence. No overpowering strength. Just balance, smoothness, and consistency. The 6 x 52 toro format stretches the experience just enough. It is long enough to settle in, but not so long that it loses focus. This is a cigar for late nights. Conversations. Or no conversation at all. Flavor Journey The opening is soft and creamy with classic Dominican cedar and a light natural sweetness. As it develops, subtle spice begins to build, staying restrained and balanced. Midway, the cigar finds its rhythm. Cream, cedar, and aged tobacco hold steady, with a gentle woodiness adding depth. The final third remains smooth and composed, finishing with clean tobacco, soft spice, and a lingering, easy finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is what time does to Dominican tobacco. Nothing flashy. Nothing forced. Just a cigar that has had years to settle into itself and deliver exactly what it is supposed to.

Robert Caldwell Pepper Cream Soda – Vintage 2015 (10 Cigars)
Pepper Cream Soda – Vintage 2015 Size: 5.5 x 47Vitola: Fat CoronaWrapper: HVA Dominican RepublicBinder: Criollo Dominican RepublicFillers: Criollo (Triple Ligero Blend)Strength: Medium to FullOrigin: Dominican RepublicManufacturer: Lost & Found Flavor Notes: Creamy sweetness, vanilla soda, baking spice, black pepper, caramelized sugar, aged cedarPairing Notes: Cream soda, root beer, espresso, light bourbon Privada Storytelling This is one of those cigars that shouldn’t exist the way it does. Pepper Cream Soda came out of the Lost & Found world, where cigars are not built for release, they are discovered. Forgotten inventory. Unreleased blends. Cigars that sat, aged, and waited for the right moment to surface. Rolled in 2015, this Fat Corona has had time most cigars never get. And time changes everything. The Dominican HVA wrapper brings a softer, sweeter profile than most Habano leaves, while the Criollo core, especially with a triple ligero approach, gives it backbone and energy. What you get is tension. Sweet and spice. Cream and pepper. Balance through age, not adjustment. The size matters here. At 5.5 x 47, this is a tighter, more focused delivery than a toro. Everything hits closer together. Nothing drifts. The profile stays concentrated from start to finish. Flavor Journey The opening brings a creamy, almost soda like sweetness layered with vanilla and soft spice. Early black pepper from the ligero shows up quickly but never overwhelms. Midway, caramelized sugar and cedar build structure, while the creaminess stays present, giving the cigar its signature contrast. The final third leans slightly drier, with aged tobacco, baking spice, and lingering pepper tying everything together into a clean, balanced finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is what happens when time does the blending. Not a modern release. Not something recreated. This is a cigar from 2015 that was left alone long enough to become something else entirely. That is exactly what Privada is built on. Production Notes Originally rolled in 2015 and later released through Lost & Found. Dominican construction featuring HVA wrapper and Criollo binder and fillers, including a triple ligero component for added structure and strength.

Hector Luis Prieto Díaz – Privada Exclusive
Héctor Luis Prieto Díaz – Privada Exclusive Size: 6 x 52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Jalapa MaduroBinder: EspecialFillers: Especial and Estelí NicaraguaStrength: MediumFlavor Notes: Earth, natural sweetness, cedar, subtle spice, clean tobacco corePairing Notes: Cuban-style coffee, aged rum, espresso Privada Storytelling There are farmers.And then there are legends. Héctor Luis Prieto Díaz is one of the most respected tobacco growers to ever come out of Cuba. Born in San Juan y Martínez in the Vuelta Abajo region, he represents generations of tobacco knowledge passed down through family and soil. He is not a blender chasing trends. He is a grower who understands the leaf before it ever becomes a cigar. Prieto became the youngest recipient of the Hombre Habano award, the highest honor in Cuban tobacco, a recognition reserved for those producing the very best leaf in the country. That matters. Because when Privada talks about bridging worlds, this is what it looks like. Through years of building relationships, Brian Desind and Privada Cigar Club opened a door that very few in the United States ever get access to. Not just conversation. Not just interviews. Real collaboration. Prieto has worked alongside Privada in Nicaragua, bringing Cuban seed lineage and agricultural philosophy into a new environment, guiding how tobacco is grown, handled, and understood outside of Cuba. He has come to the United States, sat with the community, and taught. Not theory. Not marketing. Real tobacco. Soil. Fermentation. Time. This cigar is a result of that relationship. Not a brand project. Not a factory release. A direct extension of his work. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with pure tobacco character. Clean earth, light cedar, and a natural sweetness that comes from seed and soil rather than blending tricks. As it develops, subtle spice and structure begin to form, supported by the Estelí core. The profile remains balanced and honest, never drifting into excess. This is not a cigar trying to impress. It is a cigar showing you what the leaf actually tastes like. The final third stays consistent and refined, with a steady build of earth, sweetness, and soft spice, finishing clean and controlled. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is access. Access to a Cuban master grower.Access to Cuban seed grown in Nicaraguan soil.Access to knowledge that usually never leaves the farm. This is exactly what Privada was built for. Production Notes Grown using Héctor Luis Prieto Díaz’s Cuban seed lineage on an organic farm in Estelí, Nicaragua. Developed with his direct influence on farming practices and tobacco handling. Produced exclusively for Privada Cigar Club.

This is not a loud cigar. It is a disciplined one. Flavor Journey The opening carries coffee and espresso with a firm earthy backbone.

Killer Cameroon Unbanded Pre Release
Size: 5.5 x 54Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Cameroon (grown in Estelí, Nicaragua)Binder: Estelí HabanoFillers: Condega and Estelí NicaraguaAge: Aged 1 YearOrigin: NicaraguaManufacturer: Lanuza Cigar Factory, Estelí Flavor Notes: Dark raisin, forest floor, black tea, fruit sweetness, cedar, stone fruit, nutmeg, black pepper, mushroom earth, almond, clove, charred oak, brisket smoke, dark chocolate, espresso, toasted pecanPairing Notes: Aged rum, raisins, milk chocolate covered fruit Privada Storytelling This is the gamble that became a rule. Raul Lanuza planted Cameroon seed in Estelí and pushed it further than most would even attempt, coaxing a dark, almost black wrapper from soil that typically would not produce it. The result is something that feels familiar in name but completely different in execution. Rolled box pressed with a pigtail foot, this cigar leans into both tradition and rebellion. It carries Raul’s signature edge while honoring one of Brian’s favorite styles. This is not a factory line extension. This is a custom smoke built for those who understand what happens when a blender bets everything on the leaf. No band. No walkthrough. Just a finished cigar that stands on its own. Flavor Journey The opening starts deep with dark raisin, damp forest floor, and a whisper of black tea. As the cigar develops, sweetness builds into fruit roll up and stone fruit layered over cedar, with nutmeg and soft black pepper framing the profile. Midway, earth intensifies with mushroom notes and roasted almond, while clove and warm spice move through a structured cedar core. A faint charred oak note begins to appear. The final third turns rich and savory, bringing brisket like smokiness together with dark chocolate and espresso. Black pepper lingers while toasted pecan rounds out a long, warming finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is exactly what Privada is built on. A blender taking a risk. A leaf grown where it should not work. A result that proves it does. This is not a traditional Cameroon. It is a reinterpretation driven by obsession and execution. Production Notes Grown and produced in Estelí using Cameroon seed adapted to Nicaraguan soil. Rolled box pressed with a pigtail foot. Aged one year to allow the darker wrapper and dense profile to settle and integrate. Highlights Cameroon seed grown in NicaraguaBox pressed with pigtail footAged one year for integrationDeep, layered, savory and sweet profileCustom blend from Raul Lanuza
