Black Label Trading Works Killer Bee Privada James Brown Exclusive Lonsdale Aged 3+ Years
Black Label Trading Works Killer Bee Privada James Brown Exclusive Lonsdale Aged 3+ Years Size: 6.5×44 LonsdaleVitola: LonsdaleWrapper: Ecuadorian MaduroBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cocoa butter, peach juice, nut butter, peppermint oil, thyme, vanilla, butterscotch, cedar, frankincense, white florals, rosewater, almond butter, coffee candy, lemongrass, lemon, umami, cinnamon, roasted coffee, dried herbsPairing Notes: Rye bourbon, sarsaparilla soda, root beer, root beer barrel candy, medium roast coffee, bagel with cream cheese, milk chocolate pretzels, chocolate-covered strawberries, strawberry soda, strawberry ice cream, stout beer, peanutsManufacturer: Black Label Trading Works / Fabrica Oveja Negra (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Some cigars feel like personal triumphs. This is one of them. The Killer Bee Lonsdale you see here doesn’t exist on the market anymore. In fact, this was the exact size James Brown—the founder of Black Label Trading Works—kept for himself, smoking it at events but pulling it from shelves in 2020. Before it disappeared, though, he agreed to make and age a special batch just for Privada. James and Angela Brown, the husband-and-wife team behind Black Label, live in Nicaragua, running Fabrica Oveja Negra with a philosophy that mirrors their global life. James, a wine sommelier, and Angela, a world traveler, once owned a bar on a remote African beach before moving to Central America. Their journey led them to the heart of cigars, where they now craft some of the most cult-followed blends in the industry. This cigar is a slice of that cult history—aged over three years under Privada care and rolled at one of the most respected small factories in Nicaragua. Rich, creamy, and wildly complex, it’s an experience normally reserved for James himself, now brought to you in true Privada fashion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with cocoa butter, tobacco barn, and peach juice sweetness. The smoke has nut butter creaminess layered with peppermint oil, black pepper, thyme, vanilla, chocolate, and a syrupy butterscotch texture. Red mulch, frankincense, cedar, and instant hot chocolate join as the retrohale adds pepper and dried fruit tones. Second Third: Florals bloom—white petals, orange blossom, magnolia, and rosewater. Black pepper fades into white pepper, balancing almond butter, chocolate with almonds, and coffee candy. Lavender and mint peek in, while lemongrass appears as a phantom retrohale note. Smooth, tangy, and deeply floral. Final Third: Becomes vegetal and savory, with lemon zest, salt, umami butteriness, and cinnamon sweetness. Butterscotch shifts into simple syrup, with roasted coffee beans, dried herbs, cedar, and florals closing the experience. Tingling mouthfeel lingers to the finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada was built for moments like this: cigars you can’t get anywhere else, in sizes and ages the public never sees. The Killer Bee Lonsdale isn’t just rare—it’s intimate, pulled from James Brown’s own rotation and aged into something transcendent. It belongs in Privada because it embodies exclusivity, artistry, and story—a collector’s piece that also happens to smoke like a masterpiece.

Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay By Kristoff Privada Exclusive Aged 4+ Years
Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay By Kristoff Privada Exclusive Aged 4+ Years Size: 7×38 LanceroVitola: LanceroWrapper: Mexican San AndrésBinder: IndonesianFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Dark toasted bread, prune, fig, red currant, maple wood, black cherry soda, teriyaki beef jerky, orange chicken, soy sauce, fried batter, red pepper oil, charred wood, minerals, clayPairing Notes: Chinese orange chicken, rye bourbon, lowland scotch, Helles beer, root beer, Craisins (pre-smoke), orange jam on toast, spicy foods, caramel cream candies, Sunkist orange jelly candyManufacturer: Kristoff Cigars (Exclusive for Privada Cigar Club) Privada Storytelling This one comes in with BANG! BANG!—a warning shot to the senses. Kristoff Cigars is known for crafting full-bodied, unapologetic blends, but when Privada steps in, the results often push beyond what’s thought possible. The Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay is exactly that: a Lancero exclusive made for Privada members only, a bold experiment that went from a near-miss to a masterpiece. When this blend first landed, it was rough—fiery, unbalanced, even disappointing. We nearly wrote it off. But Privada’s patience is its secret weapon. After nearly a year of resting and proper aging, the Gunplay reemerged as something spectacular. What was once sharp became savory, sweet, and complex—a profile unlike any Kristoff before it. Named Gunplay for its risky move into a lancero format (Kristoff even warned it could be “dangerous”), this cigar has become one of the most unforgettable Privada exclusives to date. It doesn’t whisper its flavors; it kicks down the door with spice, sweetness, and umami. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dark toasted bread, minerals, dried figs, prunes, and red currant, balanced by red pepper and salt. A musty sweetness begins to layer in as the bread note anchors the foundation. Second Third: Things get wild—black cherry soda, teriyaki beef jerky, maple wood, and floral powdery smoke. The sensation is sweet, savory, and spicy, like the perfect bite of Chinese orange chicken fresh from the wok. Final Third: A crescendo of soy sauce, black cherry, orange zest, fried batter, red pepper oil, and charred wood, finishing with an earthy clay note. The spice lingers long after the last puff, demanding reflection on what you just smoked. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar proves the Privada philosophy: sometimes greatness just needs time. What began as a rough, almost unsmokeable cigar became, after patient aging, a spicy, savory, sweet revelation. Kristoff’s boldest blend in a daring vitola, exclusive to Privada, transformed into what may be one of the most unique cigars of the year. This is what we live for—the magic of aging, the thrill of risk, and the satisfaction of discovery.

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.

A.A. Brugger (Remake) Aged 2+ Years
A.A. Brugger (Remake) Aged 2+ Years Size: 5×50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Pennsylvania Broadleaf MaduroBinder: Pennsylvania BroadleafFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Chocolate syrup, tropical fruits, cream, oak, cherry wood, white and black pepperPairing Notes: Tropical trail mix, dried tropical fruits, scotch (non-Islay), Jack Daniels, fruit punch, wine coolers, fruity seltzers, root beerManufacturer: Privada Cigar Club Exclusive Privada Storytelling History has a way of circling back when passion meets heritage. 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.
