Tight Draw Supreme
Tight Draw Supreme Size: 6×52 Toro (Box Pressed)Vitola: Toro Box PressedWrapper: Ecuadorian HabanoBinder: Nicaraguan Cuban-Seed (Jalapa)Fillers: Nicaraguan (Montenegro Factory Selection)Flavor Notes: Roasted coffee, cedar, red pepper, sweet cream, toasted bread, subtle cocoaPairing Notes: Dark roast coffee, rye whiskey, espresso martini, or a malty amber aleManufacturer: Montenegro Factory (Helado section, Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Some mistakes become masterpieces. The Tight Draw Supreme was crafted over a year and a half at the legendary Montenegro factory, in the iconic Helado (“ice cream”) section known for producing some of the world’s most consistent and flavorful cigars. Built with an exceptional Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a special Cuban-seed binder from Jalapa, this was designed to be a luxury release with an $18 price tag. But after aging, these cigars emerged with a draw slightly firmer than intended. For most companies, this would have meant a failed project. For Privada, it became an opportunity: a rare chance to smoke a $20-level cigar at a fraction of the cost. With a draw poker or an appreciation for resistance, the Tight Draw Supreme transforms into an elegant, flavorful experience — a lesson that perfection sometimes comes with quirks. Flavor Journey The first puffs introduce roasted coffee and cedar, steady and bold. As the cigar opens up, red pepper notes flicker across the palate, balanced by sweet cream and toasted bread. Midway, subtle cocoa adds depth, creating a profile that is rich without overwhelming. The finish is long, smooth, and quietly complex, rewarding patience and attention. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada has always been about finding value in rarity — not just expensive cigars, but experiences that can’t be replicated. The Tight Draw Supreme fits this perfectly: a boutique-level blend that would normally command triple its cost, offered here because of a small imperfection. It’s a reminder that discovery is what Privada does best.

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. Where once Cuban filler was used, this remake now relies on Nicaraguan tobaccos, marrying American tradition with Nicaraguan boldness. 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.

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.

Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with bitter dark chocolate, charred wood, espresso, leather, cinnamon, and a peppermint-like spice, accented by tamarind and anise. The retrohale brings red pepper and espresso richness. Second Third: Shifts toward sweeter chocolate, charred woods, and root notes, with cola, leather, and chocolate-covered peppermint bark emerging. Red pepper remains, balanced by smoother cream. Final Third: Closes with Sambuca-like anise, chocolate, cream, roots, and black pepper, joined by lighter roast coffee, vanilla sweetness, and a woody finish. A perfect dessert crescendo. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to showcase cigars that tell stories and capture cultural identity, and The Cannoli does exactly that. It’s a cigar that bridges worlds—Italian pastry indulgence and Nicaraguan tobacco artistry. This cigar reminds us that a smoke can be both luxury and comfort, an indulgence meant to cap a perfect night. It is a dessert Maduro, a smoke that doubles as a memory.

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. It is conversation worthy, cellar worthy, and a fitting chapter in the story of artisans who turn leaf into memory. Production Notes Small batch for Privada members. Hand rolled with a long rest to marry flavors before release. Blend details remain undisclosed to let the experience lead the conversation. Offered in both robusto and toro to suit different rhythms of the day. Highlights Tribute release named for a towering figure of Puerto Rican heritage Two formats so members can choose intensity and duration Balanced profile that pairs naturally with coffee and rum Rested for harmony and consistency across boxes
