Barrel Aged Edition #1
Barrel Aged Edition #1 Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: SumatraBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Oak, bourbon sweetness, spice, cedar, roasted nuts, dark chocolatePairing Notes: Bourbon neat, oak-aged stout, spiced rum, dark chocolate, pecan pie, espressoManufacturer: AJ Fernandez at Tabacalera Annex Privada Storytelling The Barrel Aged Edition #1 is where two worlds of craftsmanship collide—Kentucky bourbon heritage meets Nicaraguan cigar artistry. After our first exclusive bourbon collaboration, we convinced Heaven Hill Distillery to let us repurpose their seasoned barrels. These barrels had already held bourbon that Privada members savored—and then they gave new life by aging a cigar created by AJ Fernandez himself. This isn’t an infused cigar. It’s something more refined—tobacco aged in the very oak that once held rich, caramelized bourbon, then meticulously balanced with two-way humidification. The result? A cigar that speaks in whispers of bourbon without ever losing the soul of fine Nicaraguan leaf. Barrel Aged Edition #1 is proof that innovation, when paired with tradition, creates magic. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with toasted oak and a bourbon sweetness that’s subtle yet distinct. Notes of cedar and roasted nuts dance in harmony with faint spice. Second Third: The profile deepens with chocolate and caramel undertones, a velvety smoke that recalls the warmth of a fine pour of bourbon. Hints of vanilla and pepper arrive, adding layers of intrigue. Final Third: Rich earth, oak, and espresso dominate the finish, rounded by lingering sweetness and a bourbon barrel warmth that carries to the last puff. Why It Belongs in Privada Barrel Aged Edition #1 is an expression of what Privada does best—pioneering projects that no one else dares to attempt. This cigar isn’t about gimmicks, it’s about authentic collaboration between two masters of their craft. By bringing Heaven Hill barrels to Tabacalera Annex, we created a cigar unlike anything in the industry—exclusive, flavorful, and true to Privada’s relentless pursuit of originality.

Ñandysy Aged 1+ Years

When I first began working with a factory in Brazil, the connection wasn’t immediate. But when they introduced me to a small factory in Paraguay, things changed. There was something unique in what they were doing—especially with a rare tobacco called Flojo, a long-filler viso they claim has roots in Africa. This cigar represents an international dance of cultures and tobaccos: Paraguayan Flojo shipped to the Dominican Republic, where it is married with Dominican staples like San Vicente and Piloto Cubano. The result is a blend that feels familiar yet distinctly different. Creamy, floral, spiced—it speaks with its own accent. Think of it as a Dominican puro that traveled south, learned a new language, and came back changed. Ñandysy is smooth, floral, and layered, with a story that’s as fascinating as the flavors it delivers. Flavor Journey First Third: Cedar and golden raisin lead the charge, followed by orange blossom, dried cherry, and a silky velvet-like smoke. A white pepper sparkle lingers on the retrohale. Second Third: The floral bouquet expands—orange blossom becomes more defined, rose hip tea and other herbal florals appear. A cola-like effervescence rides the retrohale alongside white pepper. Final Third: The profile softens into herbal tones of dried rosemary, hay, and buttered toast. Toasted cashew adds richness while the smoke remains mellow, creamy, and smooth. Why It Belongs in Privada Ñandysy is the perfect example of how Privada brings tobaccos from overlooked corners of the world into the spotlight. Paraguayan Flojo isn’t something you’ll see anywhere else—yet here it is, shaping a cigar that is creamy, floral, and distinct. This is discovery, this is rarity, this is Privada.

Final Third: The cigar crescendos with the warmth of cinnamon apple pie filling, baker’s spices, and intensified cedar. Creamy smoke softens the boldness, leaving a rich, satisfying finish.

While most aficionados know Eladio Diaz as the legendary blender behind Davidoff for three decades, fewer know that he has a brother—also named Eladio. Known by the nickname “Chebede,” this brother has quietly shaped Dominican blending history alongside him, and now his work takes center stage at Tabacalera Puente. The Madonna Aged 2+ Years is a tribute to that legacy, carrying forward the classic Dominican profile that once defined some of the most iconic white and gold labels in cigar history. It’s a style rooted in elegance, subtlety, and finesse—qualities that only true masters can achieve. With over two years of aging, Madonna reveals the harmony and depth of Dominican tobaccos at their peak, inviting you to step back into a golden era of refined smoking.

Cinnamon joins the mix, creating a rich and nostalgic Dominican profile with velvety smoke. Second Third: Cedar rises above oak, sharpened by an apricot twang. Cinnamon remains steady, balanced by notes of forest floor, faint vanilla, and coffee bean. The retrohale is silky, carrying white pepper and soft spice.

The Madonna reminds us that behind every legendary blender, there are often others whose talents remain in the shadows. Privada brings Chebede’s work to light, offering members an authentic Dominican experience steeped in history and refined through patience.

Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years Size: 6×60Vitola: GordoWrapper: San Andres Mexican Aged 12 YearsBinder: Cameroon Aged 12 YearsFillers: Nicaraguan Estelí Aged 11 YearsFlavor Notes: Cocoa, cedar, tart cherry juice, charred oak, Riesen candy chocolate, florals, cane syrup, apricot, sweet cream, white pepperPairing Notes: Dark roast coffee with sugar, Riesen candy, M&M’s, Mexican hot chocolate, red wine, malted chocolate, Scotch, BrandyManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars Privada Storytelling Luxury is a word that gets tossed around carelessly in the cigar industry, but Montenegro Cigars embodies it with quiet authenticity. 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.

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.

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.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.
