(Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Some cigars feel like cigars. Others feel like experiences. The Cannoli by Amendola is firmly the latter. When two Italian ex-New Yorkers—men who sound like they walked straight out of Little Italy—approached me with their own cigar project, I was skeptical. Everyone wants to be in the cigar game. But then I heard the stories, saw their hands rolling their own sticks, and finally tasted their Cannoli, and all doubts disappeared. This cigar is a dessert in the form of smoke. Sweet and savory, creamy yet spiced, it mirrors the culinary indulgence it’s named for. Like biting into a decadent pastry, it layers chocolate, coffee, fruit, and spice in waves of complexity. Aged 4 years, it’s softened, deepened, and matured into something remarkable—a true after-dinner centerpiece. The Cannoli isn’t just a cigar; it’s a slice of heritage, a taste of New York Italian culture translated into tobacco. It’s wet, gooey, rich, and unapologetically indulgent—just as it should be. 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.

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.

A fictitious cigar in a high-stakes world of espionage and danger. What most did not expect was that this cinematic mystery would find new life in reality, brought forth by Privada and the industry’s most revered Dominican master blender. This release is more than a cigar; it is a cornerstone in cigar history. Delectados marks the very first production from the newly opened Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera, a factory already whispered about with awe long before its doors officially opened. Though legal considerations prevent us from using the legendary blender’s name outright, connoisseurs know exactly whose hands shaped this masterpiece. To hold and light a Delectados is to bridge fantasy and reality, to savor a creation that unites Hollywood mystique with Dominican heritage. And, as Brian Desind himself said, “this is one of the most special cigars we have ever been a part of.” Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with silky cedar, cream, and toasted almond. Gentle honey sweetness lingers while a citrus zest teases the palate. The retrohale introduces a refined white pepper. Second Third: The body grows richer with layers of oak, caramelized sugar, and dried fruit. A warm, nutty character blends with Dominican florals, balancing sweetness and spice. Final Third: Complexity deepens into roasted coffee bean, cocoa, and spiced leather, with a return of citrus and honey weaving through a creamy, elegant finish. Why It Belongs in Privada Delectados is not only a rare release—it is a once-in-history event. The first cigar ever produced at Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera, it represents the dawn of a new era for Dominican tobacco. The fact that this blend will never be made again cements its status as a collector’s treasure. Privada exists to uncover these moments of cigar history and place them directly in the hands of those who appreciate them most.

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.

Kristoff Privada Cigar Club Exclusive Lancero 2019 AKA The 50 Shades Aged 4+ Years
Kristoff Privada Cigar Club Exclusive Lancero 2019 AKA The 50 Shades Aged 4+ Years Size: 7 1/2×40Vitola: LanceroWrapper: Connecticut BroadleafBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Undisclosed (Dominican/Nicaraguan origin likely)Flavor Notes: White and red pepper, bread, florals, cocoa bean, chocolate bread, fennel, celery salt, caramelized sugar, salted peanuts, tart lime zest, oak, corn chips, vanilla soda, dried fruitsPairing Notes: Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, root beer, lager, pilsner, bourbon, Speyside Scotch (Glenlivet 12 or 18), iced coffee with cream, flan, ice cream sundaes, peanut butter desserts, raisins, dates, mild cheeses, blueberries and blueberry cheeseManufacturer: Kristoff Cigars Privada Storytelling Back in 2019, Broadleaf was scarce, expensive, and elusive for smaller boutique brands. Everyone was talking about how few could afford to use it—so naturally, Privada stepped up and demanded it. Partnering with Kristoff, a brand already admired for its rustic authenticity and bold blends, we asked them for two things: Broadleaf and a lancero. The result was this stunning exclusive, a cigar affectionately nicknamed “The 50 Shades” for its dynamic range and complex interplay of flavors. This wasn’t just another collab—it was a mission to create a finisher cigar, a smoke designed to end the night with power, structure, and unforgettable flavor. Aged for over four years now, it has reached a maturity that balances the raw intensity of Broadleaf with finesse. It’s bread-heavy, spice-driven, and layered with a finish as long as a great wine. If the first Kristoff Privada collab proved the partnership worked, this lancero cemented it. And now, with age, it has become something entirely its own. Flavor Journey First Third: A blast of white pepper erupts before mellowing into red pepper, bread crust, florals, cocoa bean, and herbal notes like dried fennel and parsley. Smoke is creamy but leaves a dry, tannic finish. Second Third: Charred cedar and charcoal arrive alongside chocolate bread, celery salt, and roasted fennel. Vanilla Dr. Pepper sweetness appears with salted peanuts on the retrohale. Bread fades slightly as florals intensify. Final Third: Sweet-tart balance defines the finale—lime zest, caramelized sugar, charred oak, salted nuts, chocolate bread, dried fruits, and a subtle vinegar zing. Finishes dry, tannic, and commanding, with lingering pepper and florals. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Privada takes risks. At a time when Broadleaf was becoming a luxury out of reach for smaller brands, we made it happen. Because Privada believes in the artistry of lancero vitolas, even when the mainstream ignores them. And because Privada cigars are meant to finish the night strong, giving members access to blends designed to showcase everything the leaf can offer. This lancero isn’t just a cigar—it’s proof of how influence, persistence, and passion bring impossible projects to life.

Eladio Diaz Unbanded Delectados
Eladio Diaz Unbanded Delectados Size: 7½×52Vitola: Double CoronaWrapper: Corojo Rosado 99Binder: Barrel Aged Mexican San AndrésFillers: Corojo Original, HVA, Piloto Cubano, Habano 92Flavor Notes: Molasses, dried cherry, oak, white pepper, dried fruits, cardamom, orange liqueur, pinewood sap, ripe plum, vanilla, golden raisin, cinnamon, chocolatePairing Notes: Aged rum, rich fruit cake, dark hot chocolate with cinnamon, or a spiced winter aleManufacturer: Eladio Diaz (Delectados for Privada Cigar Club) Privada Storytelling Eladio Diaz is a legend. 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.

Everything about this cigar leans into refinement. Clean construction. Controlled flavor. A profile that rewards attention instead of demanding it. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with polished cedar, clean vanilla, and a faint floral brightness.

Lanuza Habano

Raul Lanuza learned tobacco the hard way, in the dirt and at the roller’s bench. He cut his teeth at Drew Estate, refined his craft at AJ Fernandez, and then walked away to build something personal. A workshop at home. Family employed. Every leaf touched by hand. Every decision made by someone who sleeps where the tobacco grows. Lanuza Habano reflects that relationship. This is Estelí lived in, not visited. The soil shows through in volcanic mineral, bright pepper, and a measured sweetness that reads like a man who knows every acre by name. It is not flashy. It is confident. It is the sound of someone beginning a story they intend to finish themselves. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with warm cedar, wet volcanic earth, and delicate floral perfume. The first third introduces golden honey and fresh hay, opening into toasted almond and gentle baker’s bread sweetness with a white pepper lift. The second third brings espresso roast and dried apricot layered over leather and mineral earth, with cedar holding everything steady. The final third closes with bittersweet chocolate, toasted sesame, lingering black pepper, and a subtle saline mineral echo. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Privada values cigars made by people who bet on themselves. Lanuza Habano isn’t a factory product, it’s a personal declaration. It represents independence, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of land and leaf. This cigar belongs in Privada because it tells the beginning of a story worth following. Production Notes Rolled at Lanuza Cigar Factory in Estelí using all Nicaraguan tobacco from Condega and Estelí. Aged one year to integrate spice and mineral character while preserving structure and brightness.

Rose and Cream are the first two expressions of this philosophy.
