Big Brown, affectionately nicknamed Big Snuff, is one of those rare treasures. Rolled by Chico Rivas—one of the most talented blenders in the Dominican Republic—this cigar sat forgotten in coolers for more than seven years. Originally created for a client who walked away, it now finds its rightful place in your hands. This cigar carries a piece of Chico’s defiance and pride. Known for his refusal to compromise, Chico has built a reputation for throwing out anyone who disrespects the leaf or the craft. That energy lives inside Big Snuff.

A gentleman from Detroit commissioned a batch at a factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, left a deposit, and then vanished without a trace. The cigars sat untouched in storage for three years, forgotten until the factory called me. With space running out, they asked if I wanted them. One taste, and I knew—these weren’t just cigars, they were hidden treasures. Gratiot Ave, once Detroit’s Little Italy, now struggles under the weight of hardship.

Produced over six years ago by Joya de Nicaragua for a well-known figure whose name remains confidential, this cigar’s story is as much about time as it is about tobacco. Initially stored in a Naples, Florida warehouse for three years before finding their way to Privada, these cigars weren’t an immediate hit. In fact, they sat untouched for another two and a half years—until a quiet Saturday morning revealed just how magical proper aging can be. When the coolers were opened, the unmistakable scent of peat rose like smoke from an Islay scotch, a revelation of what six years had done. What began as a cigar of promise had transformed into a masterpiece of balance and depth, reminding us why we chase age and why Privada exists: to unlock experiences others overlook. This is not just a cigar—it’s an evolution, proof that patience and faith in the leaf always pays off. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with aged oak, moss, peat, and citrus, rounded by cream and black tea. Quickly evolves into powdered sugar, dried fruit, and soft florals. A sensation like thick French toast with cinnamon syrup emerges, sweet yet earthy, with velvety smoke. Second Third: The wood sharpens into aged cedar, the cinnamon lingers with warmth, and baked apple flavors appear. Creamy and balanced, the cigar hums with a harmony only professional aging can create. Final Third: Aged wood, baked fruit, and cinnamon dominate the finish. Creamy smoke softens into refinement, while the retrohale delivers oak, white pepper, florals, and a bouquet of truly matured tobaccos. This is age at its pinnacle. Why It Belongs in Privada The 200 is an example of why Privada exists—to discover, to wait, and to share cigars others might dismiss. What was once passed over has now become an exquisite demonstration of the Privada method of aging. It embodies the spirit of experimentation, the chase for balance, and the reward of patience. For members, this is more than a cigar: it’s a reminder that some of the best things come to those who wait.

Founded by two Beverly Hills investment strategists who cared more about enjoying the best cigars than selling them, Montenegro became a different kind of company. They waited years before releasing anything—aging every leaf for a minimum of five years, most for seven or more, without compromise. They even entrusted famed Cuban farmer Héctor Luis Prieto to manage their organic farm, the only one of its kind that we know of in the industry, where pesticides are rejected in favor of purity and patience. The Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years reflects that philosophy. A true Privada treasure, it represents everything we value: authenticity, rarity, and a taste experience that can’t be rushed. With tobaccos aged over a decade and rested nearly nine years in cedar rooms before arriving to us, this cigar shows what time, patience, and perfection can create. Flavor Journey First Third: Cocoa and cedar arrive with creamy smoke, touched by faint red pepper. Charred oak and tart cherry juice step forward, already signaling the depth that only extreme aging can provide. Second Third: The chocolate deepens into a note reminiscent of Riesen candy. Chewier smoke emerges, carrying white pepper, florals, cedar, and cane syrup. Balance and richness define this section. Final Third: Charred cedar and cocoa remain, accented by apricot, florals, sweet cream, and lingering white pepper. Complexity and subtlety intertwine, reaffirming the magic of true professional aging. Why It Belongs in Privada The Montenegro White PCC stands as proof that luxury cannot be faked. With its farm-to-factory integrity, organic growing, and double-digit years of aging, this cigar elevates what we offer to members. It belongs in Privada not just because it’s rare, but because it is a benchmark of quality—the kind of cigar that redefines expectations and renews faith in the art of long-term aging.

Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years
Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut ShadeBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Pie crust, honey, toasted cereal, black pepper, butter, golden almond, cedar, whipped cream, orange essencePairing Notes: Peach pie, Honeycomb cereal, coffee, powdered sugar donuts, yellow cake, croissant, scotch, breakfast sausage, waffles, honey, orange tea, Blue Moon with an orange slice, butterscotchManufacturer: Tabacalera Chalet (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Las Palomitas is one of those Privada discoveries that proves why this community exists. The story begins in Estelí, Nicaragua, when I was visiting my brother AJ Fernandez. Instead of staying put in the factory, we decided to cruise through town. We ended up at a soccer field where factory workers from across Estelí gather to play, talk, and escape the rolling tables for a bit. Curious stares turned into conversation when my guide told them who I was: el gringo puro—the gringo obsessed with cigars. After a few laughs and cervezas, some of the men revealed they’d been quietly rolling their own cigars in a makeshift chinchalle—a tiny factory set up in what used to be a restaurant. Six rolling stations, dim light, and an aging room that shocked me: thousands of perfectly rolled Connecticut Shade sticks stacked and waiting. They handed me one. I lit it. Within minutes, I knew I had stumbled onto something special. Right then, a deal was made, and history was written. This cigar isn’t about polish or pretense—it’s about pure passion. It’s about the underdogs of Estelí, the ones rolling cigars after their shifts at the big factories, building their dream one leaf at a time. When you smoke the Las Palomitas, you’re not just tasting tobacco—you’re tasting hustle, community, and a little rebellion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with pie crust, butter, and sugar, immediately giving off a warm pastry quality. A blast of black and red pepper retrohale kicks things up, while whipped cream and toasted cereal ride underneath. Notes of cedar and golden almond appear, creating a sweet-savory balance. Second Third: The sweetness intensifies into something like wet powdered sugar. Cedar turns slightly piney, while hints of Malibu coconut rum sneak into the profile. Pie crust, honey, hay, and cream dominate, supported by a mellower black pepper. Final Third: Still pastry-like with dominant notes of crust and butter. Honey and roasted almond develop into something reminiscent of Honeycomb cereal. Creamy smoke lingers with touches of orange zest, fried sweetness, and cedar. The finish is syrupy and golden, both comforting and addictive. Why It Belongs in Privada This is Privada at its best—an underground discovery that no one else could have brought to light. A cigar that sat quietly in a shadowy chinchalle, waiting for someone to believe in it. A cigar that tells the story of Estelí’s workers creating something for themselves, outside the spotlight of the big factories. By sharing Las Palomitas with our members, we celebrate not only the flavor but the audacity of these craftsmen to carve their own path.

Cream and chocolate emerge with cinnamon, leather, and even a tang of tamarind. Second Third: Creamy smoke deepens, with tamarind and cedar taking center stage. Powdered sugar sweetness lingers, while honey-roasted nuts arrive as a surprising delight. The cayenne remains, keeping the profile lively. Final Third: Tamarind intensifies, roasted nuts grow earthier, and cedar pairs beautifully with creamy smoke. Black pepper sharpens on the retrohale, closing with a warming cinnamon finish.

A.A. Brugger (Remake) Aged 2+ Years

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.

Owned by Gennaro Lettieri, this operation exists to supply a single client. Every leaf grown under Lettieri’s watchful eye is destined for one destination—and one destination only. Yet, in a rare twist of fate, he kept a small portion of his extraordinary tobacco for himself. That sacred stash, never sold and never shared, became the heart of The Volute. To bring it to life, Lettieri entrusted Claudio Sgroi, one of the industry’s most respected artisans, to craft a cigar worthy of the leaf’s origin. The result is a limited run that whispers of the Amazon itself: humid earth, wild botanicals, and a richness that feels untouched by modern commerce. It is as though the rainforest has been pressed into a cigar, rolled carefully in secret, and released only to those fortunate enough to encounter it through Privada and the Limited Cigar Association. Flavor Journey First Third: Earth-driven and bold, with notes of rainforest soil, dark wood, and exotic spices. A natural sweetness lingers at the edges, softening the intensity. Second Third: A medley of florals and aromatics arises, evoking the lush vegetation of the Amazon. Hints of nutmeg, cacao husk, and roasted nuts appear, balanced by creamy smoke. Final Third: The cigar deepens into resinous wood, black tea, and faint citrus peel. The sweetness lingers, joined by a mineral-rich complexity that marks the Volute as unlike anything else in the humidor. Why It Belongs in Privada The Volute is an invitation into the Amazon, one of the most inaccessible and mysterious sources of tobacco in the world. To hold this cigar is to hold history, rarity, and privilege. Gennaro Lettieri does not sell his tobacco, yet here it is—offered in partnership with Claudio Sgroi and the LCA. This is the type of release that defines Privada: a blend that can’t be duplicated, can’t be negotiated, and can’t be found anywhere else. It belongs here because it proves that even in a world of endless cigars, there are still secrets worth chasing.

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.

Today, her Flor de Selva brand is one of Europe’s hottest non-Cuban lines, standing toe-to-toe with Havana classics and winning. The Flor de Selva White Rose is her love letter to cedar-aged refinement. Crafted in a limited size with a foot band exclusive to Privada, these cigars were packed into boxes of 100 made from fresh-cut cedar, where they absorbed their distinctive personality over nine months before even reaching us. With 5 years of total age, this release represents peak elegance—balanced, refined, yet full of surprises. It’s the kind of cigar that belongs in a retirement cooler, the type you set aside knowing it will only grow more mythical with time. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with the unmistakable flavor of fresh-cut cedar, layered with sesame oil richness that quickly evolves into simple syrup, toast, cream, and florals. Orange rind and black pepper weave in, creating a unique mix of sweetness and spice. The retrohale is explosive: creamy, woody, tart, and menthol-fruity. Second Third: Powdery smoke dominates with sugarcane sweetness, white pepper, marigold florals, and eucalyptus. Toast and cedar form the backbone, while sesame oil resurfaces as a savory, nutty thread tying everything together. Final Third: The profile shifts toward autumnal warmth—bread crust, cedar, eucalyptus, nutmeg, cola nut, cream, and a cinnamon finish. The smoke turns dessert-like, echoing spiced holiday pastries. Why It Belongs in Privada Flor de Selva is already a darling of Europe, but through Privada, Maya Selva’s work finally reaches the U.S. with the reverence it deserves. This White Rose is not just a cigar—it’s a bridge between Old World elegance and New World boldness, a testament to Honduran terroir and craftsmanship. With its unique cedar-box aging and years of refinement, it embodies Privada’s mission of sourcing rare, meaningful, and unforgettable smoking experiences.

Founded by Bill Paley, whose father built the Columbia Broadcasting Service empire, La Palina represents a blend of legacy and passion. Bill Paley doesn’t need to be in the cigar game, but he chooses to be because of his unshakable love for the leaf. That passion has led him to partner with some of the most respected factories in the world, creating cigars that marry tradition with modern artistry. The Bronze Label has long been a cult favorite, and at its peak, a Lancero size was released that shocked aficionados with its brilliance.

The retrohale pulses with spicy red pepper, carrying the blend to its crescendo. Why It Belongs in Privada The Bronze Age Edition represents Privada’s role as both curator and innovator. By bringing back the Lancero version of La Palina’s Bronze Label—an almost mythical release—we’ve not only revived an iconic cigar but also ensured its story continues in the most exclusive way possible.

Bonita Bonita Bonita Aged 3+ Years Made at Tabacalera La Isla
Bonita Bonita Bonita Aged 3+ Years – Tabacalera La Isla Size: 5×50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Mexican San AndrésBinder: Dominican RepublicFillers: Dominican RepublicFlavor Notes: Honey, coffee beans, leather, chocolate, cedar, raisins, salted popcorn, toasted almond, cream, vanilla bean, florals, black pepper, cardamom, citrus, stone fruits, brown sugar, browned butter, peanut shell, graham, aged cedar, cereal, white pepper, bread.Pairing Notes: Light roast coffee black, Lowland Scotch, VSOP Brandy, Cognac, floral teas, roasted nuts, crackers with goat cheese, dried cranberries, dried plums, dark chocolate-covered raisins, after fried chicken.Manufacturer: Tabacalera La Isla (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling Bonita Bonita Bonita comes to us from one of the most buzzed-about new factories in the Dominican Republic, Tabacalera La Isla, founded by Hostos Fernández Quesada. 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.

Originally released as part of the infamous Sharpie Series, its name became the center of legal tension, but its identity never faltered. What matters most has always been the leaf—and here, the leaf tells a story. Jochy Blanco, a master of Dominican tobacco with a lineage steeped in legacy, put his touch on this project, weaving together Dominican richness with a hint of Peruvian intrigue. For three years, these cigars have been resting under Privada’s watchful aging process, evolving, deepening, and becoming something entirely unique. The sweetness that first put this cigar on the map is still present, but now it carries a spicier, more mature edge—like a jazz riff that’s been played a thousand times and somehow gets better with every note. This redux is more than a re-release. It’s a testament to what happens when patience, tradition, and defiance converge. Privada brings you back to the roots of its cult legacy, with a cigar destined not only to be smoked but to be remembered. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sesame seed oil, cedar, white flowers, and black pepper. A flash of horseradish and candied ginger gives the profile a sharp edge, while unripe mango adds a tart intrigue. The smoke is oily and light, carrying an almost bacon-like satisfaction. Retrohale delivers a warm ribbon of cinnamon. Second Third: The profile transitions into honey-roasted almonds, smoked paprika, sea salt, and aged cedar. Black pepper lingers while menthol adds cooling balance. Dark chocolate, tree sap, and bourbon notes meld with the cedar, creating a layered richness both earthy and refined. Final Third: Sweet woods and milk chocolate dominate, enriched by cinnamon, crème de menthe, and faint bourbon barrel. Musty olor—a signature of elite Dominican blends—appears, wrapping the experience in old-world depth. Powdery, creamy smoke leaves a lasting impression of luxury and craft. Why It Belongs in Privada Not Tony was never just a cigar; it was a movement. From the Sharpie Series to its redux after three years of Privada-controlled aging, this release embodies everything Privada stands for: boundary-pushing creativity, uncompromising quality, and the preservation of rare artistry. By placing this cigar back in your hands, Privada cements its role as curator of not only fine tobacco, but of cultural touchpoints in modern cigar history.

Privada Storytelling There are certain factories that have carved their names into cigar lore, and Raíces Cubanas is one of them. Known for producing Viaje, Illusione, and Alec Bradley, the Honduran factory has always been synonymous with consistency, craftsmanship, and integrity. In 2013, they released a cigar of their own: the Raíces Cubanas 1941. It was met with universal acclaim and quickly became a measuring stick for quality and construction. And then, just as quickly, it was gone. Through the Limited Cigar Association, this benchmark cigar has been reborn. It isn’t just a revival—it’s a resurrection of a blend that defined a generation of smokers. Aged for two years after rolling, this release proves that balance and patience remain the foundation of great tobacco. Smoking this cigar is like stepping into a time capsule, a reminder of why so many connoisseurs first fell in love with Honduran cigars. Flavor Journey The cigar opens with a confident blast of white pepper, coating the tongue and enriching the retrohale. Quickly, creamy butter and cereal grain sweetness arrive, layered with soft toffee and hints of honey. The first third balances spice with sweetness, a perfect entry for both seasoned aficionados and those exploring medium-bodied cigars. As the second third develops, the body deepens into medium strength, bringing earth and a more grounded pepper. Caramel and cream remain, weaving in and out, while the texture of the smoke stays velvety and abundant. This portion is where the cigar truly settles, showing the strength of its pedigree. The final third turns robust, with earth, leather, and oak taking control. The strength climbs toward full-bodied territory, yet never loses its refined edge. Retrohales now reveal a mix of spice and aged earth, giving the cigar a dignified and hearty finale. Why It Belongs in Privada The Raíces Cubanas 1941 isn’t just a cigar—it’s history, carefully reconstructed for those who demand authenticity. At Privada, we don’t just look for good cigars; we seek benchmarks, smokes that define eras and teach us what tobacco can truly become. This revival embodies everything we stand for: legacy, rarity, and the pursuit of excellence. To smoke this cigar is to taste a piece of cigar folklore, curated for the Privada family.

Few releases embody that better than The Shit Show Crew Maduro Lonsdale. This cigar honors some of the longest-standing Privada members: a tight-knit group of Midwest brothers bound by the leaf, by laughter, and by nights that turn into legends. Their most infamous gathering took place in New Orleans—a city of jazz, spirits, and chaos. A night that was, by every definition, a shit show. This release commemorates that memory not with solemnity but with celebration. Rolled by AJ Fernandez, the King of Nicaraguan tobacco, it channels both the madness of the night and the artistry of true craft. Aged for over three years, it has transformed into an elegant, flavorful experience that pays homage not only to the Shit Show Crew but to every Privada member who knows what it means to turn nights into stories. Flavor Journey First Third: Rawhide, saddle leather, peach, and barnyard aromas precede flavors of black soy sauce, molasses, florals, and candied orange. Retrohale brings black pepper, candied fruit, leather, and dried florals. Chocolate and apricot sneak in as the profile expands. Second Third: Chocolate deepens, candied orange sharpens, and malted toastiness emerges. Retrohale shifts to red pepper, supported by toasted nuts and cereal. Balance builds between sweetness, spice, and richness. Final Third: Black coffee with sugar dominates, joined by florals, herbs, and an unexpected burst of sour Sprees candy. Red pepper retro persists alongside dried cherries, tart citrus, and oak, closing the experience with a sweet-sour twist that elevates the finale. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on turning personal stories into collective experiences. This cigar is proof. The Shit Show Crew may be just four members from the Midwest, but their bond represents the essence of Privada: community, loyalty, and memories forged in smoke. AJ Fernandez created this cigar not only as a masterpiece in broadleaf blending but also as a celebration of people, place, and story. That’s why it belongs here—because Privada cigars are more than smokes; they’re chapters in our shared history.

Vault Cigars Series 1
Vault Cigars Series 1 Size: Varies (Series 1 selection)Vitola: Toro / Robusto (depending on release)Wrapper: Undisclosed (Vault-aged, Honduran origin)Binder: HonduranFillers: Honduran (Raíces Cubanas-aged selection)Flavor Notes: Cashew butter, vanilla custard, powdered sugar, candied nuts, crème brûlée, leather, florals, Italian herbs, caramel, lemon, pepperPairing Notes: Crème brûlée, vanilla custard, vanilla Oreos, white tea, wheat beer, Islay Scotch, brandy, aged rum, vanilla coffeeManufacturer: Raíces Cubanas (Hugo Sanchez, Honduras) Privada Storytelling Vault Cigars Series 1 represents a rare moment in cigar history. Straight from the famed Raíces Cubanas factory in Honduras, these cigars were never supposed to see the light of day. They were the forgotten batches—the unpaid-for, the misplaced, the sleeping vampires of a legendary factory. When Privada was given access to raid these vaults, the result was nothing short of magic. Raíces Cubanas, helmed by Hugo Sanchez, has been crafting cigars in the Cuban tradition for over 25 years. This is the same factory behind some of the best work for Padilla, Viaje, Alec Bradley, and Illusione. Their vaults, however, held something even more special: cigars left behind to age, resting for years in factory conditions that accelerate maturity far beyond what’s possible stateside. With Series 1, members gain access to flavors that may never be replicated. Vanilla custard, crème brûlée sweetness, candied nuts, and white pepper florals—flavors that rival the finest cigars in the world, and perhaps outdo them. This is not just a release; it’s a chance to taste what happens when time, tradition, and serendipity collide. Flavor Journey First Third: Begins with subtle cashew butter, salt, and floral notes. White pepper ramps up quickly as the flavor expands into vanilla custard, powdered sugar, and candied nuts. Retrohale is leather, salt, full white pepper, and florals—an immediate standout. Second Third: Vanilla custard evolves into crème brûlée, with caramelized sweetness balanced by white pepper and floral umami. Retrohale introduces Italian herbs, tying sweetness with savory depth. Smoke is powdery, creamy, and dessert-like. Final Third: Body intensifies as sweetness, tang, leather, and floral notes merge. Lemon zest, pepper, and oak enter the profile, creating a finish reminiscent of a well-aged Opus X on its best day. Sweet, tangy, salty, and floral—this cigar ends with a climactic flourish. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about uncovering what the rest of the industry overlooks, and Vault Cigars Series 1 is the epitome of that mission. These cigars were literally locked away, forgotten until Privada opened the doors. The result is a profile so unique, so luxuriously sweet and floral, that it may never exist again. Only Privada members will taste this moment in history—making Series 1 not just a cigar, but a discovery.

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.

Members snatched them up immediately, drawn to the iconic purple band and the powerhouse Nicaraguan puro inside. At that time, the cigar was vibrant, bold, and bursting with youthful intensity. Now, after three years of Privada aging, this redux is something else entirely. The oily Corojo ’99 wrapper glistens with maturity, and the blend of Criollo ’98 and Corojo ’99 long-fillers has fused into a seamless tapestry of flavor. The anticipation has paid off: what was once fiery and energetic is now refined, balanced, and impossibly smooth. This isn’t just a cigar—it’s a glimpse into what patience, soil, and craft can achieve. The Supreme Leaf has become a modern classic for Aganorsa. But the PCC Exclusive 6×50 Box Press remains a Privada signature, a size that belongs to this club alone, matured into an experience you cannot find anywhere else. Flavor Journey First Third: Bursts with Nicaraguan character—bright orange, apricot, cream, red pepper, and fresh cedar. The volcanic soils of Estelí and Jalapa shine through with vibrant spice and sweetness, underpinned by a faint berry note. Second Third: Red pepper and apricot persist, joined by cream and sharp cedar. The smoke grows richer, bringing in aromas of pilon-fermented tobacco, canned peaches, and clouds tinged with charcoal. Full-flavored, bold, and distinctly Nicaraguan. Final Third: The cigar softens slightly, but the richness remains. Apricot and red pepper weave with cream, cedar, and nuttiness. A subtle sweetness lingers on the finish, leaving you wanting more as the nub burns hot. Why It Belongs in Privada The Aganorsa Supreme Leaf has become a phenomenon, but only Privada members can access this exclusive 6×50 box press redux. With three years of careful aging, it delivers an experience far beyond the original—refined, balanced, and steeped in Nicaraguan heritage. This is what Privada does best: securing exclusives, aging them with care, and reintroducing them at the peak of perfection.
