It’s where the lines between collector, blender, and storyteller blur. Every month, Brian Desind—Privada’s founder and unapologetic cigar evangelist—assembles a box that reflects his personal journey through the world of rare tobacco. These are not “staff picks.” These are obsessions, confessions, and provocations in cigar form. Each box is built around a concept—sometimes a mood, sometimes a farm, sometimes a rebellion. From forgotten factory blends to undiscovered masterpieces, from LCA sleeper hits to Desind’s personal stash aged in vaults for years, Brian’s Box is where the mythos of Privada lives loudest. Flavor Journey There is no one journey across Brian’s Boxes—and that’s the magic. One box may hit you with Nicaraguan power, another with Dominican silk. One may deliver three versions of the same blend wrapped in Connecticut, Habano, and Maduro to teach you about wrapper impact. Another might explore Cuban profiles through the lens of lost family farms. Every puff in Brian’s Box is designed to challenge, teach, and surprise—even the seasoned aficionado. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Brian’s Box is Privada distilled. It’s fearless. It’s intellectual. It’s experimental. It’s everything the traditional cigar world told us not to do—released anyway. These boxes aren’t built to please everyone. They’re built to wake up palates, to elevate cigar knowledge, and to deliver an experience no other club would dare offer. If the Monthly Box is our rhythm, Brian’s Box is our improvisation.

Over three years ago, Noel Rojas himself arrived at my house with 10,000 Bluebonnets and 10,000 KSG Reds, both rolled exclusively for Privada in this elegant Lonsdale vitola. While the Red has since made its way into other humidors and even received a stellar 92 rating, the Bluebonnets remained in our coolers—resting, evolving, and waiting for the right moment. For over two years, Noel asked me monthly when I would release them. And each time, I held them back. Why? Because at Privada, we do not just release cigars—we perfect them. We age, monitor, and nurture them with the same care that collectors give to their most prized bottles of wine or whiskey. The result is not just a cigar but a piece of time itself, transformed by patience into something extraordinary. This is more than a cigar—it’s a testament to friendship, to craftsmanship, and to Privada’s role as the leader in post-production cigar aging. When you light a Bluebonnet, you’re tasting years of quiet anticipation and the artistry of one of the fastest-rising stars in the industry. Flavor Journey First Third: Toasted sesame seed, creamy oak, golden cereal grain, and Italian herbs with a delicate dried peach on the finish. Retrohale delivers black pepper, dried currant, and oak. Second Third: Oak takes the lead, joined by semi-sweet apricot jam, white toast, minerality, and white pepper. The retrohale bursts with blackberry and pepper, gradually maturing into a fruit-forward richness. Final Third: Raspberry, butterscotch, wheat toast, lemon candy, and black tea with honey make for an indulgent, balanced finish. Retrohale shifts to powdery white pepper with lemon-zinger brightness over oak. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is history in the making. Born from the hands of Noel Rojas and aged for over three years under the Privada Method, the Bluebonnets are a masterclass in balance, patience, and flavor transformation. It’s an exclusive size, an exclusive story, and one of those rare cigars that remind you why Privada exists—to provide experiences you simply cannot get anywhere else.

A subtle sweetness lingers on the finish, leaving you wanting more as the nub burns hot.

Espinosa Cigars Espinosa Cigars Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition Aged 4+ Years
Espinosa Cigars Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition Aged 4+ Years Size: 6×52 ToroVitola: ToroWrapper: Undisclosed (Espinosa LE Selection)Binder: UndisclosedFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Bourbon oak, barnyard funk, ripe tobacco, maple syrup, milk chocolate, red pepper, toast, wheat, citrus “Sprite” zing, Fruit Loops, graham cracker, fennel, honeysuckle, vanilla, saltPairing Notes: Hershey’s chocolate kisses, butterscotch, cinnamon crumb cake, Fruit Loops, graham crackers, red wine, cognac, bourbon, scotch (non-smoky), Werther’s Originals, root beer, espresso with sugarManufacturer: Espinosa Cigars (La Zona Factory, Estelí Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Espinosa Hialeah Gardens Limited Edition is more than just a cigar—it’s a recognition of the truth. For years, we’ve seen cigar names tied to Havana, Cuba, and old-world romanticism. But the reality is different. In modern America, the heart of the cigar trade flows through Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, and Doral, Florida. If you’ve ever ordered cigars, chances are they’ve passed through this Cuban-American enclave before they reached your hands. When Privada’s Brian posed the question to Erik Espinosa—“Why doesn’t anyone call their cigar the Hialeah?”—Erik laughed. Then he rolled up his sleeves and did it. This blend is a love letter to the area that represents the modern cigar epicenter, where the Cuban spirit thrives outside Havana, built on grit, family, and tradition. Espinosa himself embodies the story: a tough, stout Cuban from the streets who turned passion and hard work into a multi-million-dollar cigar empire. The Hialeah Gardens LE is not just about heritage—it’s about truth becoming tradition. And this cigar, aged 4+ years, delivers that truth in every puff. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with deep oak, red pepper, toast, wheat, and a citrus zing (“Sprite”). Smoke is creamy, retrohale blasts black pepper, and phantom Fruit Loops cereal sweetness appears. Notes of leather, cereal grain, and maple syrup richness add depth. Second Third: Evolves with tobacco richness, leather, fruity zing, oak, graham cracker, and fennel spice. Creaminess ties it together, balancing sweet, tart, and savory. Retrohale remains peppery with a clean cereal finish. Final Third: Closes with honeysuckle, toast, dank oak, vanilla, and salt. Pepper fades to a salty zing, while wheat and florals create a creamy, clean finish. Balanced and elegant, it feels like a culmination of aged, harmonized tobaccos. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar belongs in Privada because it tells a story of modern cigar reality.

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.

Others, like the Gilligan Golf Churchill Original, are meant to be the foundation of an entire lifestyle. Born from three generations of a family steeped in both golf and cigars, Gilligan Golf decided to launch not with apparel, equipment, or merch—but with a cigar. Bold. Confident. 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? But then I smoked it. I’m not a golfer myself, but immediately I could see it—the perfect cigar for the course. Steady burn. Balanced flavor. 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. They worked for years to ensure consistency and enjoyment, the kind of cigar that could define a brand. And with the Churchill Original, they’ve done it.

Second Third: The cigar smooths into cedar, white pepper, cream, and a delicate dried pear sweetness. Balanced, velvety, and refined. Final Third: The finale is golden and complex—golden raisins, strong white pepper, cream, oak, golden cereal, graham, agave, wheat bread, florals like white jasmine, and fruit tea. A crescendo of richness with tannic grip and lingering cedar. Why It Belongs in Privada The Gilligan Golf Churchill Original isn’t just a cigar—it’s a mission statement.

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.

Fuego is art. Fuego is heat. Born from Nicaragua’s volcanic soils and sparked by the imagination of Australian pop mash artist Aaron Craig, Fuego is where craftsmanship and creativity collide. This is more than a cigar — it’s an idea lit aflame. AJ Fernández, the legendary master of tobacco, crafted this blend at his Tabacalera Annex, building it entirely from his own Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos. Wrapped in silky Connecticut Shade and box-pressed to perfection, Fuego carries both refinement and fire. It’s smooth enough for newcomers yet layered enough to captivate the seasoned aficionado. And like Craig’s artwork, it refuses to sit quietly — every puff feels alive, daring you to taste something new. Flavor Journey From the first spark, creamy vanilla and toasted almond set the stage. Red pepper flickers through, adding energy without overwhelming. Midway, citrus peel brightens the profile, dancing alongside warm cedar. By the final third, the flavors converge into a balanced crescendo: sweet, spicy, nutty, and undeniably smooth. Fuego lives up to its name with a profile that’s both bold and approachable. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to bring together culture, creativity, and craftsmanship — and Fuego is the embodiment of all three. A blend perfected by AJ, presented through the lens of a contemporary artist, and finished with collector’s flair, it is both a cigar and an event. Fuego stands as proof that cigars can be equal parts tradition and rebellion, luxury and play.

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.

Santana of D’Crossier is pure wizardry. Born in Cuba and shaped by the rhythms of his homeland, Santana has always been known as the cigar maker’s cigar maker—the one other blenders whisper about with admiration. For years in South Florida, his creations set the standard, even as he retreated underground, quietly focusing on tobacco, processes, and tradition. He doesn’t chase the spotlight, he doesn’t market; he simply blends with devotion and lets his cigars speak for themselves. This Habano, aged over 7 years, is a time capsule of Santana’s artistry. Professionally matured in cedar, it isn’t just a cigar—it’s a masterclass in how wood can shape and transform flavor. Where many cigars offer notes reminiscent of cedar, here you taste the cedar itself, layered and woven into every puff. It’s a rare chance to both experience and learn, deepening your palate in the process. Flavor Journey The opening draws you into a cedar forest, unmistakable and alive, with creamy undertones and an earthy barnyard base. A sweetness lingers at the edges—dried fruit and honey kissed with toasted spice. As the cigar develops into the second third, the cedar evolves into richer, sharper woodiness, balanced by cream, toasted almond, and faint pepper. There’s a sophisticated dryness to the smoke that keeps the flavors tight and focused. In the final third, the cigar becomes more contemplative: cedar returns with intensity, layered with leather, roasted nuts, and faint mineral earth. A whisper of sweetness closes the journey, proving the power of age. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about education, adventure, and access—and this cigar embodies all three. The D’Crossier Habano Aged 7+ Years is not just a fine cigar but a living lesson in cedar-aging. It teaches you to identify wood not as a background note, but as the centerpiece of a cigar. It also connects members with the wizardry of Santana, one of the most respected but enigmatic figures in modern cigar making. This is a cigar you cannot find just anywhere, and it perfectly represents the Privada promise: discovery, depth, and legacy.
