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.

The Volute Aged 3+ Year
The Volute Aged 3+ Years Size: UndisclosedVitola: UndisclosedWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Amazonian-grown tobacco from Tabacalera del OrienteFlavor Notes: Earth, exotic spice, rainforest wood, subtle sweetness, floral aromaticsPairing Notes: Aged rum, Brazilian coffee, red wine with earthy tannins, spiced dark chocolate, exotic fruit dessertsManufacturer: Tabacalera del Oriente (Amazon Rainforest) – Commissioned blend by Claudio Sgroi for the Limited Cigar Association Privada Storytelling In the deepest reaches of the Amazon rainforest stands Tabacalera del Oriente, a factory and farm that is nearly mythical in its exclusivity. Owned by Gennaro Lettieri, this operation exists to supply a single client. Every leaf grown under Lettieri’s watchful eye is destined for one destination—and one destination only. Yet, in a rare twist of fate, he kept a small portion of his extraordinary tobacco for himself. That sacred stash, never sold and never shared, became the heart of The Volute. To bring it to life, Lettieri entrusted Claudio Sgroi, one of the industry’s most respected artisans, to craft a cigar worthy of the leaf’s origin. The result is a limited run that whispers of the Amazon itself: humid earth, wild botanicals, and a richness that feels untouched by modern commerce. It is as though the rainforest has been pressed into a cigar, rolled carefully in secret, and released only to those fortunate enough to encounter it through Privada and the Limited Cigar Association. Flavor Journey First Third: Earth-driven and bold, with notes of rainforest soil, dark wood, and exotic spices. A natural sweetness lingers at the edges, softening the intensity. Second Third: A medley of florals and aromatics arises, evoking the lush vegetation of the Amazon. Hints of nutmeg, cacao husk, and roasted nuts appear, balanced by creamy smoke. Final Third: The cigar deepens into resinous wood, black tea, and faint citrus peel. The sweetness lingers, joined by a mineral-rich complexity that marks the Volute as unlike anything else in the humidor. Why It Belongs in Privada The Volute is an invitation into the Amazon, one of the most inaccessible and mysterious sources of tobacco in the world. To hold this cigar is to hold history, rarity, and privilege. Gennaro Lettieri does not sell his tobacco, yet here it is—offered in partnership with Claudio Sgroi and the LCA. This is the type of release that defines Privada: a blend that can’t be duplicated, can’t be negotiated, and can’t be found anywhere else. It belongs here because it proves that even in a world of endless cigars, there are still secrets worth chasing.

Like the animal it’s named after, The Badger commands respect not through aggression, but through quiet strength and persistence. Flavor Journey The first third greets the palate with dark chocolate, cedar, and roasted almond. As the cigar warms, sweet earth and dried fruit emerge, harmonizing with a subtle spice. In the final third, richness deepens while balance remains, leaving a smooth and memorable finish that showcases the rewards of age and careful construction. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about more than cigars — it’s about discovery, storytelling, and artistry.

His sister grows it. His family lives it. But unlike others chasing fame and big contracts, Kelner Jr. values contentment, artistry, and family over the spotlight. Producing only 250,000 cigars a year, his Kelner Boutique Factory is one of the most tightly guarded in the industry. When he chose to work with Privada, rivals tried to dissuade him, even threatened to pull their own business. But Kelner is his own man. Independent. Loyal only to his craft. The 73, named for the year of his birth, is his first direct collaboration with Privada Cigar Club. A cigar of rare elegance, born from a master who could work with anyone, but chose instead to work with us—and by extension, with you. This is more than just a cigar. It’s proof of Privada’s place at the table of cigar history. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursting magnolia florals dominate, alongside warm buttered toast, apricot, and Craisin sweetness. The retrohale brings white pepper and fermented fruit complexity, almost like kombucha. Green apple lingers, while aged cedar provides balance. Second Third: The florals calm as fermented fruits, sesame seed, and apricot twang take over. The smoke turns creamy and textured, leaving a tangy, almost ale-like finish. Green apple persists, weaving freshness into the profile. Final Third: Flavors condense, intensifying with magnolia, apricot, and crisp green apple. The smoke warms, taking on a syrupy, root-like richness. Cedar shifts to freshly cut, while baker’s spice adds heat. The retro is spicy with earth, oak, and white pepper. Truly a banger of a finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to uncover and preserve the rare, the untold, the authentic. The 73 is exactly that—a cigar crafted by one of the most talented yet reclusive figures in the cigar world. While others chase recognition, Kelner Jr. chooses to work with passion. His first-ever direct release with PCC is not just rare, it’s historic. Privada members alone get to experience what few outside the Kelner circle ever will.

Matt Booth returned to Joya de Nicaragua, the factory that helped bring the Death Bucket 2 to life, and asked for something twisted, playful, and seasonal. His answer? The same base blend, only reimagined with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and in his preferred 6×46 vitola—a size he calls perfect for fall nights. The band and concept leaned into the outrageous: Naked Booth himself, clad in a leopard thong and cape, reminding us that while the cigar industry carries itself seriously, it should never lose its humor or creativity. Underneath the costume, however, is a serious cigar. This is Booth’s artistry fused with Joya’s craft, refined over more than four years of Privada-controlled aging. A blend equal parts funky, nutty, spicy, and earthy—designed to shock and satisfy in equal measure. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with wood, bread, dried fruit, leather, and hay. A nut medley of chestnut, roasted hazelnut, and hickory emerges quickly. Retrohale delivers funky cedar, dried fruit, white pepper, musty earth, and a kiss of butterscotch sweetness. Cocoa and horseradish sauce sneak in, joined by pecan, brown sugar, cedar, and fresh tarragon. Second Third: The horseradish expands, joined by dry mustard spice, musty almond, mulchy earth, mushroom notes, and dried figs. Retrohale sharpens into musty cedar and wasabi heat, shocking yet refined. Final Third: Sweetness builds—caramel, candied almonds, candied orange rind, brown sugar. Tangy Worcestershire umami and sautéed vegetables emerge, finishing with pine, applewood, roasted chestnut, citrus zest, and a return of horseradish minerality. Complex, funky, and utterly addictive—you’ll smoke it to the nub. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on turning cigars into experiences, and Naked Booth Trick-or-Treat is exactly that. Equal parts theater, artistry, and aged refinement, it captures the playful irreverence of Matt Booth while delivering a flavor performance only time and patience could unlock. This is not a cigar for the masses—it’s a collector’s Halloween piece, proof of why Privada curates what others won’t.

Clark Thornton, a name familiar to many in the Privada family, discovered that his great-grandfather once ran a cigar company and shop in Erie, Pennsylvania called A.A. Brugger. From the early 1900s into the 1960s, A.A. Brugger was a staple of Erie’s cigar culture, celebrated for its dark, Pennsylvania-grown wrapper—the same broadleaf that would later rise to fame across the industry. Privada has recreated this lost legacy, resurrecting A.A. Brugger in a modern form while remaining true to its Pennsylvania roots.

The result is not just a cigar—it’s a living link to a family story and a tribute to American cigar history. Flavor Journey First Third: Chocolate syrup and creamy smoke hit the palate, layered with faint dried Italian herbs, oak, and white pepper. Retrohale delivers sharp white pepper, cream, and wood, while tropical fruit notes like banana and mango flash across the background. Second Third: The pepper evolves from white to black as cocoa deepens. Fruit becomes more pronounced, evoking chocolate-covered cherries. Cherry wood, cream, and minerals tingle the tongue, joined by fleeting tropical sweetness and rich tobacco undertones. Final Third: A crescendo of tropical fruit and creamy milk chocolate leads the way. Pineapple-like zest and mineral brightness pop against the backdrop of white and black pepper. Notes of firewood and oak ground the experience, closing with a bold and memorable finish. Why It Belongs in Privada The A.A. Brugger remake is more than a cigar—it’s a resurrection. By reviving Clark Thornton’s family heritage, Privada bridges cigar history with modern craftsmanship. This cigar embodies what the Privada movement is all about: uncovering lost treasures, honoring tradition, and reimagining them for today’s discerning smoker.

This cigar honors some of the longest-standing Privada members: a tight-knit group of Midwest brothers bound by the leaf, by laughter, and by nights that turn into legends.

This release commemorates that memory not with solemnity but with celebration. Rolled by AJ Fernandez, the King of Nicaraguan tobacco, it channels both the madness of the night and the artistry of true craft.

Second Third: Chocolate deepens, candied orange sharpens, and malted toastiness emerges. Retrohale shifts to red pepper, supported by toasted nuts and cereal. Balance builds between sweetness, spice, and richness. Final Third: Black coffee with sugar dominates, joined by florals, herbs, and an unexpected burst of sour Sprees candy. Red pepper retro persists alongside dried cherries, tart citrus, and oak, closing the experience with a sweet-sour twist that elevates the finale. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on turning personal stories into collective experiences. This cigar is proof. The Shit Show Crew may be just four members from the Midwest, but their bond represents the essence of Privada: community, loyalty, and memories forged in smoke. AJ Fernandez created this cigar not only as a masterpiece in broadleaf blending but also as a celebration of people, place, and story. That’s why it belongs here—because Privada cigars are more than smokes; they’re chapters in our shared history.

The Caballo 500 isn’t just a cigar — it’s a testament to Dominican ingenuity and the perfection of the craft. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a surprising note of cilantro alongside cedar, lime essence without tartness, and salt — evoking Thai cuisine or a premium margarita. Accents of graham cracker, baker’s spices, and black pepper round out the complexity. Second Third: Flavors transition into lemongrass, roasted nuts, cream, vanilla, lemon, and oak. Each puff reveals variation, keeping the profile elevated and engaging. Final Third: A finale of fruits, breads, woods, and herbs develops, with recurring cedar, cream, and black pepper. The cilantro sensation returns, creating a fresh, layered conclusion. Why It Belongs in Privada The Caballo 500 Lonsdale belongs in Privada because it embodies innovation in the Dominican cigar tradition. It’s proof that greatness doesn’t always need decades of rest — sometimes it comes from the hands of a master roller, an ambitious new factory, and a willingness to craft something unlike anything else on the market. Privada brings it to you first, highlighting the cutting edge of flavor.

Series is our love letter to the whimsical, meticulous world of director Wes Anderson. With ten cigars, each inspired by one of his films, we aim to capture the charm, structure, and quiet eccentricity of Anderson’s storytelling in tobacco form. The second chapter, Academia, honors Rushmore, Anderson’s breakout feature. Just as Max Fischer lived and breathed his prep school world, this cigar thrives in its own distinctive realm. Wrapped in a rare Nicaraguan Double Claro, its vibrant green hue immediately signals something unconventional, playful, and bold. This isn’t your everyday toro—it’s an ode to youthful obsession, eccentric ambition, and the relentless pursuit of something bigger. Where Fireworks was a celebration, Academia is discipline, tradition, and creative rebellion all at once. It’s the cigar that teaches you something—about tobacco, about patience, about storytelling through flavor. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with grassy freshness, cedar, and citrus zest. A delicate pepper hum lingers on the retrohale while toasted almond and cream soften the edges. Second Third: The body grows richer with warm bread, baking spices, and a subtle honey sweetness. Hints of tea leaf and dried fruit surface, balanced by a creamy, airy texture. Final Third: The flavors deepen into roasted nuts, wood, and lingering citrus. A quiet crescendo of cedar and spice leaves a balanced, refreshing close. Why It Belongs in Privada Academia proves that a cigar doesn’t have to be dark or heavy to be meaningful. Just as Rushmore introduced Wes Anderson’s eccentric genius to the world, Academia introduces Privada members to the underappreciated art of the Double Claro wrapper. It’s rare, it’s daring, and it’s a flavor profile that belongs only in a collection as ambitious as the W.A. Series.

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.
