For decades, he was the blending mastermind behind Davidoff, crafting some of the most celebrated cigars in modern history. After departing in 2017, he continued his journey with the rebirth of Delectados, a brand whispered about in cigar folklore and immortalized on the silver screen in James Bond films. With Privada, Eladio revives the magic—only this time, it’s unbanded. The Unbanded Delectados is as much a statement as it is a cigar. Rolled in paper moulds, a technique once reserved for Spanish royalty, it reminds us of a time when the most precious cigars carried no band at all, meant only for those “in the know.” This release captures that timeless mystique, offering a holiday smoke steeped in tradition, luxury, and storytelling only Eladio could deliver. Flavor Journey First Third: A lush entry of molasses, dried cherry, and oak. Velvety smoke carries white pepper, dried fruits, and flashes of cardamom with a kiss of orange liqueur. Pinewood sap lingers in the background, building intrigue. Second Third: The body swells with sugar cane sweetness and ripe plum. Vanilla threads through the retrohale, where a nostalgic candy note—like Sprees—reminds you this is Eladio at his most playful and complex. Final Third: A crescendo of golden raisin, white pepper, and cinnamon. The smoke turns chocolatey and creamy, blending seamlessly with fruitcake-like layers of spice, sweetness, and oak. A true holiday feast for the palate. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on exclusivity, history, and authenticity—and the Unbanded Delectados is all three. This is Eladio Diaz at his most personal, crafting something that transcends a cigar and becomes a moment in time. The unbanded look and the ancient rolling method speak to connoisseurs who value the story as much as the smoke. It’s not just a cigar, it’s a lesson in heritage, blending, and restraint.

Originally created for a client who walked away, it now finds its rightful place in your hands. This cigar carries a piece of Chico’s defiance and pride.

While rough-edged when first found, it has since been transformed into a refined masterpiece through two years of factory age and three additional years under the Privada Method—balanced coolers, two-way humidity control, and obsessive oversight. The name “La Lealtad” translates to “The Loyalty,” and this cigar embodies exactly that: loyalty to the craft, loyalty to tobacco’s natural rhythms, and loyalty to the smoker who craves flavors only time can create. Packaged under Deadstock Cigar Company, this release honors Privada’s mission of breathing new life into aged blends originally destined for other brands.

Lemon balm lingers on the finish, while cedar aging room notes and roasted sesame seed emerge on the retrohale. Dry yet rich, the age immediately shows.

Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years
Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut ShadeBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Pie crust, honey, toasted cereal, black pepper, butter, golden almond, cedar, whipped cream, orange essencePairing Notes: Peach pie, Honeycomb cereal, coffee, powdered sugar donuts, yellow cake, croissant, scotch, breakfast sausage, waffles, honey, orange tea, Blue Moon with an orange slice, butterscotchManufacturer: Tabacalera Chalet (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Las Palomitas is one of those Privada discoveries that proves why this community exists. The story begins in Estelí, Nicaragua, when I was visiting my brother AJ Fernandez. Instead of staying put in the factory, we decided to cruise through town. We ended up at a soccer field where factory workers from across Estelí gather to play, talk, and escape the rolling tables for a bit. Curious stares turned into conversation when my guide told them who I was: el gringo puro—the gringo obsessed with cigars. After a few laughs and cervezas, some of the men revealed they’d been quietly rolling their own cigars in a makeshift chinchalle—a tiny factory set up in what used to be a restaurant. Six rolling stations, dim light, and an aging room that shocked me: thousands of perfectly rolled Connecticut Shade sticks stacked and waiting. They handed me one. I lit it. Within minutes, I knew I had stumbled onto something special. Right then, a deal was made, and history was written. This cigar isn’t about polish or pretense—it’s about pure passion. It’s about the underdogs of Estelí, the ones rolling cigars after their shifts at the big factories, building their dream one leaf at a time. When you smoke the Las Palomitas, you’re not just tasting tobacco—you’re tasting hustle, community, and a little rebellion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with pie crust, butter, and sugar, immediately giving off a warm pastry quality. A blast of black and red pepper retrohale kicks things up, while whipped cream and toasted cereal ride underneath. Notes of cedar and golden almond appear, creating a sweet-savory balance. Second Third: The sweetness intensifies into something like wet powdered sugar. Cedar turns slightly piney, while hints of Malibu coconut rum sneak into the profile. Pie crust, honey, hay, and cream dominate, supported by a mellower black pepper. Final Third: Still pastry-like with dominant notes of crust and butter. Honey and roasted almond develop into something reminiscent of Honeycomb cereal. Creamy smoke lingers with touches of orange zest, fried sweetness, and cedar. The finish is syrupy and golden, both comforting and addictive. Why It Belongs in Privada This is Privada at its best—an underground discovery that no one else could have brought to light. A cigar that sat quietly in a shadowy chinchalle, waiting for someone to believe in it. A cigar that tells the story of Estelí’s workers creating something for themselves, outside the spotlight of the big factories. By sharing Las Palomitas with our members, we celebrate not only the flavor but the audacity of these craftsmen to carve their own path.

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.

Privada Storytelling There are certain factories that have carved their names into cigar lore, and Raíces Cubanas is one of them. Known for producing Viaje, Illusione, and Alec Bradley, the Honduran factory has always been synonymous with consistency, craftsmanship, and integrity. In 2013, they released a cigar of their own: the Raíces Cubanas 1941. It was met with universal acclaim and quickly became a measuring stick for quality and construction. And then, just as quickly, it was gone. Through the Limited Cigar Association, this benchmark cigar has been reborn. It isn’t just a revival—it’s a resurrection of a blend that defined a generation of smokers. Aged for two years after rolling, this release proves that balance and patience remain the foundation of great tobacco. Smoking this cigar is like stepping into a time capsule, a reminder of why so many connoisseurs first fell in love with Honduran cigars. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with a confident blast of white pepper, coating the tongue and enriching the retrohale. Quickly, creamy butter and cereal grain sweetness arrive, layered with soft toffee and hints of honey. The first third balances spice with sweetness, a perfect entry for both seasoned aficionados and those exploring medium-bodied cigars. As the second third develops, the body deepens into medium strength, bringing earth and a more grounded pepper. Caramel and cream remain, weaving in and out, while the texture of the smoke stays velvety and abundant. This portion is where the cigar truly settles, showing the strength of its pedigree. The final third turns robust, with earth, leather, and oak taking control. The strength climbs toward full-bodied territory, yet never loses its refined edge. Retrohales now reveal a mix of spice and aged earth, giving the cigar a dignified and hearty finale. Why It Belongs in Privada The Raíces Cubanas 1941 isn’t just a cigar—it’s history, carefully reconstructed for those who demand authenticity. At Privada, we don’t just look for good cigars; we seek benchmarks, smokes that define eras and teach us what tobacco can truly become. This revival embodies everything we stand for: legacy, rarity, and the pursuit of excellence. To smoke this cigar is to taste a piece of cigar folklore, curated for the Privada family.

Few releases embody that better than The Shit Show Crew Maduro Lonsdale. 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. Their most infamous gathering took place in New Orleans—a city of jazz, spirits, and chaos. A night that was, by every definition, a shit show. 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. Aged for over three years, it has transformed into an elegant, flavorful experience that pays homage not only to the Shit Show Crew but to every Privada member who knows what it means to turn nights into stories. Flavor Journey First Third: Rawhide, saddle leather, peach, and barnyard aromas precede flavors of black soy sauce, molasses, florals, and candied orange. Retrohale brings black pepper, candied fruit, leather, and dried florals. Chocolate and apricot sneak in as the profile expands. 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.

Vault Cigars Series 1
Vault Cigars Series 1 Size: Varies (Series 1 selection)Vitola: Toro / Robusto (depending on release)Wrapper: Undisclosed (Vault-aged, Honduran origin)Binder: HonduranFillers: Honduran (Raíces Cubanas-aged selection)Flavor Notes: Cashew butter, vanilla custard, powdered sugar, candied nuts, crème brûlée, leather, florals, Italian herbs, caramel, lemon, pepperPairing Notes: Crème brûlée, vanilla custard, vanilla Oreos, white tea, wheat beer, Islay Scotch, brandy, aged rum, vanilla coffeeManufacturer: Raíces Cubanas (Hugo Sanchez, Honduras) Privada Storytelling Vault Cigars Series 1 represents a rare moment in cigar history. Straight from the famed Raíces Cubanas factory in Honduras, these cigars were never supposed to see the light of day. They were the forgotten batches—the unpaid-for, the misplaced, the sleeping vampires of a legendary factory. When Privada was given access to raid these vaults, the result was nothing short of magic. Raíces Cubanas, helmed by Hugo Sanchez, has been crafting cigars in the Cuban tradition for over 25 years. This is the same factory behind some of the best work for Padilla, Viaje, Alec Bradley, and Illusione. Their vaults, however, held something even more special: cigars left behind to age, resting for years in factory conditions that accelerate maturity far beyond what’s possible stateside. With Series 1, members gain access to flavors that may never be replicated. Vanilla custard, crème brûlée sweetness, candied nuts, and white pepper florals—flavors that rival the finest cigars in the world, and perhaps outdo them. This is not just a release; it’s a chance to taste what happens when time, tradition, and serendipity collide. Flavor Journey First Third: Begins with subtle cashew butter, salt, and floral notes. White pepper ramps up quickly as the flavor expands into vanilla custard, powdered sugar, and candied nuts. Retrohale is leather, salt, full white pepper, and florals—an immediate standout. Second Third: Vanilla custard evolves into crème brûlée, with caramelized sweetness balanced by white pepper and floral umami. Retrohale introduces Italian herbs, tying sweetness with savory depth. Smoke is powdery, creamy, and dessert-like. Final Third: Body intensifies as sweetness, tang, leather, and floral notes merge. Lemon zest, pepper, and oak enter the profile, creating a finish reminiscent of a well-aged Opus X on its best day. Sweet, tangy, salty, and floral—this cigar ends with a climactic flourish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about uncovering what the rest of the industry overlooks, and Vault Cigars Series 1 is the epitome of that mission. These cigars were literally locked away, forgotten until Privada opened the doors. The result is a profile so unique, so luxuriously sweet and floral, that it may never exist again. Only Privada members will taste this moment in history—making Series 1 not just a cigar, but a discovery.
