Privada Coffee & Cigar Pairing
Privada Coffee & Cigar Pairing Series The coffee: What Makes These Beans So Special We selected high-grown Guatemalan SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) coffee for its exceptional clarity, structure, and versatility. Grown at high altitudes in volcanic soil, these beans develop dense cellular structure and complex sugars that translate into vibrant acidity, rich sweetness, and a refined body. Their natural balance of nuttiness, citrus, and spice makes them the perfect canvas for pairing with premium cigars—whether you're enjoying bold Nicaraguan spice, rich Maduro depth, or creamy Connecticut nuance. How We Roasted for the Perfect Pairing Each coffee was roasted with a specific cigar in mind, using different roast levels—or in some cases, a blend of roast profiles—to match the cigar’s character and enhance your overall experience. Habano Roast: Roasted to a medium-dark level (16:30–17:00 min) to bring out nutty, creamy, cinnamon, and subtle citrus notes that complement the red pepper, baked bread, and spice of a bold Nicaraguan Habano cigar. Maduro Roast: A 50/50 split of medium and dark roast. This blend highlights lime and vanilla from the lighter roast and dark chocolate and smooth depth from the darker roast—mirroring the cigar’s mix of spice, sweetness, and richness. Connecticut Roast: Roasted to a balanced medium (16:00–16:30 min) to deliver a smooth, creamy body with light cedar, soft spice, and mellow acidity—built for the creamy yet spicy intensity of a Connecticut Shade cigar, especially for morning pairing with or without cream and sugar. The Cigars: Size: Mixed formats (Milk Chocolate Habano 5.5×54, White Chocolate Shade 5.5×54, Dark Chocolate Maduro 6×54)Vitola: Box Pressed Toro (all three)Wrapper: Dominican Habano (Milk), Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade (White), San Andrés Maduro (Dark)Binder: Dominican (Milk), Ecuador (White), Dominican (Dark)Fillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Sweet cream, toasted spice, hazelnut, milk chocolate, vanilla custard, jasmine, almond, citrus zest, dark cocoa, espresso, molasses, pepperPairing Notes: Privada Milk Roast, Privada Medium Roast, Privada Espresso RoastManufacturer: Privada Exclusive Privada Storytelling This curated trio aligns cigar craft with coffee culture, using chocolate as the flavor bridge. Each blend rested for more than a year and was created to pair precisely with a dedicated Privada roast. No artificial flavoring. No shortcuts. Only thoughtful blending and roasting that reveal new nuances when leaf meets bean. Flavor Journey Milk Chocolate Habano (with Milk Roast): Soft and creamy with sweet cream, hazelnut, and gentle toasted spice. The coffee lifts a mellow milk-chocolate sweetness for a warm, welcoming morning ritual. White Chocolate Shade (with Medium Roast): Refined and bright. Vanilla custard, jasmine, almond, and citrus zest meet a clean, aromatic cup for midday clarity and calm. Dark Chocolate Maduro (with Espresso Roast): Dense and layered. Dark cocoa, espresso, molasses, pepper, and a hint of citrus turn the pairing into a dessert course that stays bold to the end. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada celebrates intentional pairings and everyday rituals. This series turns three classic profiles into a guided experience that showcases how precise roasting and blending can amplify each other. It is creative, collectible, and designed to be enjoyed side by side with the cup.

Inspired by the indulgence of vanilla bean ice cream and rich chocolate truffles, CREAM takes luxury flavors we all love and translates them into fine cigars aged to perfection. These cigars have been resting for over four years, deepening their complexity and softening their edges until every draw is velvet on the palate. The Vanilla, dressed in an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper, delivers a silky, dessert-like experience, while the Chocolate, cloaked in an Ecuadorian Habano, provides a bolder, roasted and savory twist. Both are figurados, shaped with precision to highlight transitions and intensity in the smoking journey.

The Privada Cookies Series was born in Estelí with the legendary AJ Fernandez, designed to bring you three unique profiles at a price that feels almost unreal. When we quietly tested these with shops, they vanished instantly. Why? Because they deliver what smokers crave: flavor, variety, and everyday reliability without ever tasting ordinary. Now, they’re yours—direct, immediate, and crafted for your daily rotation.

Together, they form a box of indulgence you can return to again and again. Flavor Journey Maduro Cookie: A rich, dessert-like smoke. Chocolate and espresso lead, rounded by molasses cookie sweetness and cocoa powder, with a lingering brown sugar finish.

Unicorns - Aged 5 Years
Unicorns – Aged 5 Years Size: 6×46 (Unicorn Horn), 6×52 (Unicorn Head)Vitola: Corona Gorda, ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo (Aganorsa)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan (Aganorsa-grown Cuban-seed tobaccos)Flavor Notes: Aged cedar, dark cocoa, roasted almond, pepper spice, dried fruit sweetness, creamy mineral finishPairing Notes: Tawny port, café con leche, aged rum, or spiced black teaManufacturer: Aganorsa Leaf (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Unicorns – Aged 5 Years are more than cigars; they are artifacts of defiance, perseverance, and creativity. Six years ago, in partnership with Aganorsa — Nicaragua’s most respected grower of Cuban-seed tobaccos — we set aside this puro to showcase the unmatched complexity that only time could deliver. But these cigars weren’t born quietly. At the time of their creation, Privada was under fire from industry giants — facing pressure from Fuente, the PCA, and critics who dismissed our artwork as disruptive. The Unicorn branding became a tongue-in-cheek rebellion, a playful jab at an industry sometimes too stiff to embrace change. Now, after five years of slumber, the Unicorns emerge not only as refined aged puros, but as proof that authenticity outlasts opposition. Flavor Journey Unicorn Horn (6×46): The leaner of the two sizes, offering a concentrated experience of aged cedar, cocoa, and pepper, with undertones of dried fruit and a mineral creaminess that lingers. Its narrow ring gauge sharpens the flavor edges, creating intensity with elegance. Unicorn Head (6×52): The broader expression of the blend, delivering a softer, more relaxed profile. Still rich with cocoa, almond, and subtle spice, but rounded and approachable, balancing sweetness and body in equal measure. Why It Belongs in Privada The Unicorns embody everything Privada stands for: boldness, rarity, and the willingness to defy convention. They were born in the midst of controversy, aged into quiet perfection, and now return as both collectible treasures and deeply satisfying smokes. Few cigars carry such a layered backstory, and fewer still taste this refined after five years of rest.

Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years
Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years Size: 6×52 Toro (classic format)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan (long-aged)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Creamy cedar, gorgonzola funk, oak, dried apricot, minerals, white pepper, buttered popcorn, toasted bread, cinnamon, vanilla creamPairing Notes: Buttered popcorn, lowland Scotch, cream soda, vanilla ice cream, white chocolate, light roast coffee, low-proof Jack Daniels, Belgian beers (prior to smoking), cinnamon dessertsManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Cigars often serve as vessels of memory and imagination, and the Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years is a perfect example of this duality. The name itself carries weight—an allusion to Fulgencio Batista, who fled Cuba on the last day of 1958 as Castro’s revolution swept Havana. But this cigar is not about politics. It is about a what-if. What if Batista had remained? What if Havana had continued as the Las Vegas of the Caribbean, fueled by casinos, mob money, and neon-lit decadence? The band design, created under Privada’s art direction with @sedatedhype, imagines this alternate world—a vintage Cuban band style reworked in casino neon, bridging tradition and fantasy. For a cigar with this story, we needed a blend that felt timeless, refined, and bold. Montenegro delivered. Known for decadent, ultra-traditional cigars crafted without compromise, this Nicaraguan puro aged over 10 years smokes like an heirloom. It’s Cuban in spirit, Nicaraguan in execution, and Privada in imagination. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens creamy and elegant, with oak, cedar, salt, dried apricot, and white pepper. A faint gorgonzola funk adds intrigue, with minerals and dried herbs weaving through. Retrohale is creamy cedar and faint florals. Second Third: Becomes richer and glossier, with florals, buttered popcorn, toasted bread, charred cedar, and cinnamon. Salt lingers on the tongue while the retrohale blooms with florals and white pepper. Dried fruit sweetness balances the savoriness. Final Third: Intensifies with cedar, cinnamon, browned toast, whipped vanilla cream, and faint fruity zing. Cream, salt, and cedar define the finish, while the retrohale closes with smoke, white pepper, and lingering complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is history, imagination, and craft rolled into one. It belongs in Privada because it challenges us to think differently—not only about tobacco but about time, culture, and what could have been. By securing a cigar like this from Montenegro, a brand synonymous with decadence and uncompromising quality, Privada gives members the rare chance to taste tradition through the lens of storytelling and speculation.

CLE Cigars CLE / Eiroa 2013 Aged 12+ Years
CLE / Eiroa 2013 Aged 12+ Years Size: 5×50 Robusto, 6×52 Toro (varies)Vitola: Robusto / ToroWrapper: Honduran Corojo (original Cuban seed)Binder: Honduran CorojoFillers: Honduran CorojoFlavor Notes: Buttery umami, cedar, orange blossom honey, dried apricot, black pepper, musty woods, vanilla, clove, menthol, warm apple pie, peated smoke, marine-like freshnessPairing Notes: Black tea, chai tea, bourbon, Highland scotch, cognac, Belgian tripel, sake, peanut butter desserts, Reese’s, roasted nuts, Thai food, birthday cake, light roast coffeeManufacturer: CLE Cigar Company (Eiroa Family, Honduras) Privada Storytelling The year was 2013. The Eiroa family—legendary stewards of authentic Cuban-seed Corojo outside of Cuba—were finally free to return to the cigar industry after the sale of Camacho to Davidoff in 2008. With the non-compete behind them, Christian Eiroa and family opened the Alladino factory, and among the very first blends they rolled was this cigar. But fate intervened. Legal complications sidelined the project, leaving thousands of boxes to rest quietly in Honduras, sealed in cedar-lined rooms. Now, more than a decade later, you hold one of the rarest time capsules in your hand: the CLE / Eiroa 2013. This is more than a cigar; it is a relic of rebirth, a tangible piece of history that survived long enough to reveal what true patience can do to tobacco. Twelve years of controlled aging has transformed its Corojo leaves into something elegant, ethereal, and nearly impossible to replicate today. For Privada members, it’s another example of how the vaults of the industry are unlocked, one treasure at a time. Flavor Journey First Third: Buttery umami notes open alongside cedar, dried pear, orange blossom honey, and black pepper. Aged wood and earth introduce themselves with a Davidoff-like refinement. Second Third: Vanilla, cinnamon, and florals emerge, joined by a menthol-like cooling sensation. The retrohale is floral and spicy, with fleeting touches of clove and honey sweetness. Final Third: Complexity deepens with warm apple pie, spice wood, and smoky peat reminiscent of Islay scotch. A marine-like freshness lingers on the finish, blending with cinnamon, vanilla, and cedar for an unforgettable close. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar isn’t just aged—it’s preserved history. The original 2013 CLE / Eiroa blend was meant to relaunch the family legacy but instead became a silent witness to time itself. With over a decade of rest, it now offers Privada members an experience that simply doesn’t exist on the open market. It’s living proof of the original Cuban-seed Corojo’s power, aged far beyond industry norms, and released exclusively for those who demand the rarest finds.

Halloween 2023 - LIMITED STOCK LEFT
Halloween 2023 Size: 6 × 50 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: San Andrés MaduroBinder: Nicaraguan HabanoFillers: Nicaraguan long-fillers (Estelí and Jalapa)Flavor Notes: Charcoal-smoked leather, cocoa powder, spiced molasses, black pepper, burnt orange zest, toasted walnut, cedar, subtle clove, earthy mineralPairing Notes: Pumpkin spice latte, aged rum, Belgian porter, spiced cider, dark chocolate, chai tea, smoked cheese, cigars and conversation by candlelightManufacturer: Privada Cigar Club Exclusive; crafted with a boutique Nicaraguan factory Privada Storytelling Halloween 2023 isn’t just a seasonal wrapper—it’s an experience you didn’t see coming until the full moon’s glow. Designed for the shadowed hour and the ritual lighting, this toro summons the smoky warmth and hidden sweetness of a woodland bonfire on All Hallows’ Eve. Rolled in seclusion, aged in obscurity, it emerged only when the season demanded it. In Privada, we honor moments like this—smokes that appear once, ignite stories, then vanish. This one leaves its mark. Flavor Journey At first light, charred leather and cocoa echo the scent of fallen leaves and embers. A swipe of burnt orange zest brightens the profile, soon deepened by toasted walnut and cedar warmth. The mid-smoke builds spiced molasses, black pepper, and a whisper of clove that feels like distant footsteps in the dark. As the cigar winds down, mineral earth and soot give way to smooth cedar and vanilla sweetness that warms the finish. Each puff is a flicker of flame, a breath of autumn. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Halloween 2023 is ritual and reprisal—scarce, atmospheric, and purpose-built. It isn’t meant for everyday; it’s meant for moments that matter and memories that linger. In Privada, we don’t chase trends, we conjure moments. This cigar is one of those nights you’ll still talk about when the calendar turns. Limited stock means only the attuned get invited.

Xhaxhi Bobi Grinchy Aged 3+ Years
Xhaxhi Bobi Grinchy Aged 3+ Years Size: 6×50Vitola: ToroWrapper: Mexican San AndresBinder: PennsylvaniaFillers: Dominican and NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Gingerbread, molasses, pine nuts, butterscotch, oak, apples, cinnamon, caramel, candied orange, maple syrup, butter pecan, florals, and orange zestPairing Notes: Orange chicken, ginger ale, ginger and rye, VSOP or XO cognac, dark aged rum, pork fried rice, candied orange, Christmas cakeManufacturer: Xhaxhi Bobi (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling Some of you may remember the Xhaxhi Bobi Halloween cigar that hit the LCA last October. It was a smash hit—mischievous, bold, and wildly flavorful. But here’s the secret: while you were enjoying that release, we were sitting on another batch made for the holidays. Enter the Grinchy. This cigar swaps a touch of Dominican filler for more Nicaraguan spice, turning a cult favorite into something even more seasonally electric. Bobi himself is as much a part of this story as the cigar. A Dutch box maker turned Dominican rockstar, Bobi is notorious for showing up unannounced with cigars in one hand and a drink in the other, always ready to stir up trouble. He pranks, he laughs, and somehow he makes magic happen in tobacco. That energy is alive in every puff of the Grinchy. It’s festive, a little chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Pine nuts, baker’s spices, molasses, and gingerbread light up the palate. The retrohale bursts with allspice, orange, citrus, and almond, carried by a syrupy smoke that leaves a tingling finish. Second Third: Butterscotch, oak, and cinnamon take over, joined by apples and a phantom ginger ale fizz on the retro. Notes of caramel, candied orange, and raspberry follow. Final Third: Dry butter pecan, maple syrup, and charred oak dominate. As the cigar closes, florals and a bright orange zest linger, wrapping the experience like the last notes of a holiday feast. Why It Belongs in Privada Grinchy is more than a holiday smoke—it’s a piece of Privada culture. It represents what happens when passion, artistry, and a little chaos collide. This cigar delivers seasonal nostalgia and refined craftsmanship in one perfect package. With 3+ years of aging behind it, Grinchy isn’t just playful—it’s a winter classic that showcases Bobi’s unique voice in the cigar world.
