Cocoa Di Padre
Cocoa Di Padre Size: 5 1/2×52Vitola: Robusto ExtraWrapper: 7-Year Aged Dominican CorojoBinder: 5-Year Aged Dominican Piloto CubanoFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Cocoa, pastry cream, toasted almond, cedar, baking spices, sweet syrupPairing Notes: Espresso with crema, amaretto, hot chocolate with whipped cream, hazelnut liqueur, tiramisuManufacturer: Chico Rivas, Dominican Republic Privada Storytelling In the rolling hills of Northern Italy, where a family has been handcrafting chocolates and pastries since 1882, a love for cigars quietly grew alongside their culinary mastery. The patriarch of this family, entranced by the artistry of tobacco, reached out to none other than Dominican master blender Chico Rivas. His request was simple but profound: create a cigar worthy of sitting alongside their century-old chocolate recipes. For years, this cigar was an intimate treasure, shared only with friends and relatives of the family. Now, with rare permission—and without the use of their sacred name or logo—a small allotment of this dessert-like masterpiece has been released exclusively through the Limited Cigar Association. Cocoa Di Padre is more than a cigar; it is an edible memory transformed into smoke, the taste of Italy’s legacy of indulgence reimagined in tobacco form. Flavor Journey First Third: A velvet opening of cocoa powder and pastry cream, laced with toasted almonds and sweet cedar. Retrohale introduces hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, recalling a warm Italian bakery at dawn. Second Third: The profile deepens into layers of molten chocolate, vanilla bean, and hazelnut cream, with a drizzle of sweet syrup rounding out the mid-palate. Cedar and soft pepper weave in for balance. Final Third: Darker, richer notes emerge—espresso, charred oak, and spiced cocoa—leaving a lingering sweetness reminiscent of tiramisu dusted with cocoa powder. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to unearth treasures meant for the few. Cocoa Di Padre is a cigar born from private indulgence, never intended for the world, and that is exactly why it belongs here. Its story weaves together chocolate artisanship, family tradition, and Chico Rivas’ legendary touch. For members of Privada, it’s a chance to taste history otherwise locked away behind the doors of an Italian family’s kitchen.

And what better way to mark the season than with a lancero that embodies both power and finesse? The AJ Fernandez Scrooge Aged 2+ Years is our quarterly nod to the lancero lovers out there, but this one carries a special weight. Crafted by the youngest-ever recipient of Cigar Journal’s Lifetime Achievement Award, AJ Fernandez himself, this cigar shows why Nicaragua has claimed its throne as the modern cigar capital. The band art takes a nostalgic turn, reminding us of illustrated tales from childhood—ironic, given this cigar is anything but child’s play.

This is the cigar you light when you want a moment to feel bigger than life, a reminder that tobacco is not just plant and paper—it’s story, memory, and mastery rolled together. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a surprising spicy honey note, accented by graham cracker sweetness, red pepper bite, apricot tang, and a hint of sesame seed oil. The retrohale pushes black pepper with a faint charcoal-like peatiness. Second Third: Cream and cedar dominate now, with mocha sliding in to enrich the texture. Red pepper remains persistent, balanced by apricot’s sharp fruitiness. A finish of cinnamon heat—like fireball candy—adds a playful kick. Final Third: Apricot resurfaces, entwined with black pepper, cream, and aged cedar. The profile closes with a deep, satisfying “cedar room” flavor, unique and unforgettable, like walking into a perfectly seasoned aging room. Why It Belongs in Privada Scrooge is more than a lancero—it’s proof of AJ Fernandez’s artistry, a window into the core of what makes Nicaraguan tobacco so revered worldwide. Aged two years to achieve perfect balance, it carries strength, sweetness, spice, and soul in every puff.

American Bully
American Bully Size: 6 x 54Vitola: ToroWrapper: Mexican San Andrés MaduroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan and DominicanFlavor Notes: Molasses, dark cocoa, charred oak, black cherry, black pepper, roasted nuts, leatherPairing Notes: Cold brew with cream, barrel-aged stout, grilled short ribs, mole poblano, root beer floatManufacturer: Tabacalera Annex by AJ Fernandez Privada Storytelling Born of grit, muscle, and misunderstood brilliance, the American Bully is a tribute to the misunderstood champions of both the canine and cigar world. Crafted at AJ Fernandez’s Tabacalera Annex factory in Estelí, this Privada exclusive channels raw power with refined balance. Like the breed it's named after, it may appear aggressive at first glance, but beneath the muscular exterior is complexity, loyalty to the craft, and undeniable charm. Wrapped in oily Mexican San Andrés and filled with aged Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, this cigar was built for those who aren’t afraid to stand out. It barks with strength but never bites—delivering a layered, slow-burning experience that transitions between robust and smooth with a kind of streetwise elegance. This is not just a cigar; it’s a declaration. A flex for the bold, the misunderstood, and the loyal few who know that strength and sophistication can—and should—coexist. Flavor Journey From the first puff, American Bully delivers molasses and dark cocoa with a dry pepper kick through the retrohale. The middle third opens with roasted nuts and bitter cherry wrapped in savory umami, while leather and charred oak usher in the final third, bringing earth and spice in unison with a black coffee finish. Retrohales sharpen and soften with pacing, rewarding patience with complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This is the kind of cigar that would never make it to mainstream shelves. Too bold, too rich, too unapologetically itself. But in the hands of Privada, it becomes a statement piece—a rare collaboration between authenticity and aggression. This cigar reflects what Privada stands for: the brave, the boutique, the beautifully imperfect. A cigar for those who know what it means to be misunderstood, and proudly so. Production Notes American Bully was rolled in a single small batch at the Tabacalera Annex facility, which AJ Fernandez created specifically to produce limited runs for boutique partners. The blend was initially developed as a house favorite but was never greenlit for mass production until Privada discovered its potential. Production was capped and allocated exclusively through Limited Cigar Association retailers.

Certain that great things can only grow from great tobacco. When I was first introduced to the project, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Another golf brand? Another lifestyle angle?

A richness that keeps you focused and a complexity that rewards every pause between swings. The family behind Gilligan Golf wasn’t interested in shortcuts.

The cigar that defined a season, a vibe, and a moment in Privada history. Mango Cedar wasn’t born in a corporate boardroom or designed for market trends—it was the personal smoke of Angel, a factory worker at Tabacalera Tolupan in Honduras. Unlike master blenders creating for prestige brands, Angel crafted this for himself, the only cigar he smoked. That authenticity is felt in every puff. Privada members alone were given access to these gems. Dressed beautifully to stand out, this cigar embodies what Honduran terroir can do when guided not by marketing but by love and instinct. Mango Cedar balances raw energy with surprising finesse, a true summer cigar that has now matured into a timeless piece of Privada heritage. With 4+ years of age, it has become something richer, deeper, and more extraordinary than when first discovered. Flavor Journey First Third: Bold mango fruit bursts alongside charred cedar and sharp black pepper. Oak and florals rush in on the retrohale, carrying both sweetness and spice. A tangy, salty edge ties the sensations together. Second Third: Balance emerges. Fruits and cedar stay dominant, joined by leather and spice. Creamy oak smoke mingles with florals, mango, and a subtle salty minerality. The intensity remains, but now with depth and poise. Final Third: Vanilla enters gracefully, turning the mango into a creamsicle-like sensation. Spices, pepper, and leather still hold their ground, but the interplay of fruit and cream creates a finish that is indulgent, layered, and unforgettable. Why It Belongs in Privada Mango Cedar represents the soul of discovery. It was never intended for the market—it was one man’s private expression of flavor and love for tobacco. That purity is what Privada is all about: uncovering cigars that would never otherwise reach the public, then aging them to perfection. With more than 4 years of maturity, Mango Cedar has evolved into a benchmark Honduran cigar, worthy of its place in Privada’s catalog of legendary finds.

Montenegro President Series Cordial Aged 6+ Years
Montenegro President Series Cordial Aged 6+ Years Size: 5 1/2×53Vitola: Robusto ExtraWrapper: Undisclosed (Montenegro estate-grown, organic)Binder: Undisclosed (Montenegro estate-grown, organic)Fillers: Proprietary blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos grown under the direction of Hector Luis PrietoFlavor Notes: Agave nectar, rawhide, sesame oil, jalapeño spice, mint leaf, cherry blossom, craisin, white chocolate, tamarindPairing Notes: Over-proof rye bourbon, mint tea with honey, fatty steak, salmon, flan, Jamaican beef patties, orange soda, Tootsie RollsManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars Privada Storytelling Montenegro has built its legend on mystery, patience, and the steady hand of one of Cuba’s greatest growers, Héctor Luis Prieto. When I first smoked their Batista, it was clear this brand was different. But I wanted to know why. After shared meals and long conversations at the Grand Havana Room, the secret surfaced: Prieto not only helped establish Montenegro’s organic farm but brought with him seeds from Cuba’s hallowed soils. He visits Nicaragua twice a year, still tasting the soil itself to determine its quality—a practice as unorthodox as it is brilliant. The President Series Cordial carries this legacy. While the Batista was an elegant revelation, the Cordial is wilder, zestier, unapologetically bold. It is a cigar that embodies Prieto’s fearless farming philosophy and Montenegro’s unwavering dedication to long-term aging. Six years of rest has honed its flavors into something both refined and primal—a smoke that balances rawhide earthiness with perfumed florals and decadent sweetness. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sweet agave nectar, rawhide, sesame oil, and sugarcane. Red pepper oil lights up the retrohale, delivering a jalapeño-like zing. Smoke is oily, like olive oil, with flashes of mint leaf and curry spice. Herbal parsley and tree bark deepen the rawhide base. Second Third: The profile evolves into mint leaves, maple syrup, agave, dried oregano, and floral perfume—cherry blossom with hints of berry. Wagyu-like fattiness meets Korean BBQ and sesame, offering a savory depth that contrasts beautifully with the sweet and herbal tones. Final Third: White pepper and mint leaf dominate, accented by cherry blossom, craisin, and tamarind. Sweetness lingers with notes of raisin and white chocolate. The rawhide foundation persists, adding rustic weight to an otherwise elegant close. Why It Belongs in Privada The Cordial is proof that Montenegro is more than hype—it’s heritage, craft, and time woven into every puff. With Hector Luis Prieto’s Cuban legacy guiding the farm, Montenegro stands at the pinnacle of boutique luxury. The Cordial isn’t just a cigar, it’s a conversation between Cuba’s soul and Nicaragua’s soil, aged six years to perfection.

Noel, known as the "King of Small Gauge," is a master blender whose reputation has only grown in the past few years. Together, we set out to create something that would not just echo Cuban tradition but elevate it with Nicaraguan soul. We tucked these cigars away in coolers, letting them rest and age quietly. For two long years, they transformed in the shadows—each leaf marrying with the others, flavors deepening, textures softening, and complexity blooming. When I finally lit one after the wait, I knew Noel had given me more than just a cigar. He had given me a memory, a reminder of why we do this—to create timeless experiences that connect people through craft and culture. Flavor Journey First Third: Sweet syrup and cedar layer over hazelnut, toast, black coffee, molasses, and even a root-like sarsaparilla note. A bold, almost nostalgic opening. Second Third: The sweetness fades into cedar and tree bark, bringing an earthy core. Toast and roasted nuts remain, while herbal and medicinal undertones add depth. Creaminess intensifies, and the retrohale blooms with white pepper creaminess. Final Third: Roasted nuts rise again, joined by black coffee and earthy tones. The finale is marked by a smoky charcoal finish, leaving behind a robust and memorable aftertaste. Why It Belongs in Privada The Reserva Rojas is a perfect example of why Privada exists. It’s a collaboration between friends who live and breathe tobacco, a cigar aged patiently until the time was right. It’s also proof that boutique blending, when paired with time, can rival the classics.

Newman Cigar Co. (Nicaraguan Factory) Privada Storytelling I’m talking ’bout The Good Life. And yet, when this cigar first debuted, some people couldn’t believe it—me putting my own name on a cigar. At first, I wanted it to be released under J.C. Newman, but they politely declined, saying it wouldn’t be the right look. So I did what we always do at Privada: I created something bold, personal, and unapologetic. The band, inspired by the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, was my amateur Photoshop project, but it symbolized everything this cigar stood for: indulgence, glamour, and the pursuit of life’s finer things. Some members got upset, wanting only other brands, not “ours.” But the truth remains—Privada is not a brand. Privada is the curator, the storyteller, the finder of the rarest leaves and the boldest blends. And this cigar? It’s a showcase of Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco that has been cultivated for over a century—a leaf with history, depth, and soul. Made at the Newmans’ Nicaraguan factory, this rendition of The Good Life may be the best yet. Aged for over a year and a half, it brings out everything Broadleaf was meant to be: funky, flavorful, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursts of chocolate, peanuts, cream, red pepper, and sarsaparilla. A salty, peppery texture lays the groundwork, joined by baked bread, sesame, and a subtle red berry tang. Second Third: Golden honey and milky chocolate take center stage, layered with white pepper, sweet syrup, Raisinets, and cedar. A nostalgic note of Smarties candy creeps in, playful and unexpected. Final Third: The finale is floral and complex, with raspberry, raisin bread, passionfruit, tart fruit, horseradish, and chocolate weaving together. A bold raisin retrohale underscores this cigar’s complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is a statement of identity. It represents what Privada is all about: finding the best tobaccos, collaborating with masters, and refusing to be boxed in by convention. It’s a Broadleaf experience unlike any other—steeped in history, aged to perfection, and curated exclusively for our members.

These are unbanded, straight-from-the-table cigars rolled fresh by factory torcedores and delivered without filters—no marketing, no hype, no delay. What began as a curiosity has grown into a cult obsession. Each month, Privada members get a literal taste of a factory’s soul, of tobaccos still warm from fermentation rooms, or aging only weeks instead of years. Every Farm Rolled pack is a mystery you unwrap with your senses. They're raw, real, and unpolished. But beneath the rough edges lies something only true connoisseurs understand: this is the purest way to taste how greatness begins. Flavor Journey Farm Rolled cigars are journeys without maps. A Connecticut-wrapped Lonsdale might open with hay and white pepper before blooming into cream and floral notes. A toothy Broadleaf Toro might start with molasses and mineral, then evolve into burnt sugar and heavy leather. With every pack, you're transported to the rolling table, where blends are born and ideas are shaped in tobacco. No two months are the same—and that’s exactly the point. Why It Belongs in Privada Because the Farm Rolled series reflects our founding philosophy: curiosity over conformity. We don’t just showcase cigars—we invite you into the process. These packs are raw access to the farms, factories, and families behind the brands. You taste pre-release blends, unreleased vitolas, and sometimes tobaccos that will never hit shelves. It’s authentic. It’s educational. It’s Privada in its most unfiltered form.
