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.

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.

The CREAM project is one of those milestones. 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.

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.

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.

Why It Belongs in Privada Privada cigars are curated to be memorable, collectible, and conversation-starting. Year of Hiss embodies that ethos by blending AJ Fernández’s mastery with LCA’s sense of humor and originality.

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.

Born entirely from the 2019 harvest of Cuban-seed Corojo grown on Christian Eiroa’s farms in Honduras, this cigar embodies the philosophy of single-year, single-farm purity. The concept allows us to taste how the conditions of a particular growing season—its rainfall, its sun, its soil—impart their own fingerprint onto the leaf. While the 2021 and 2022 releases share the same recipe, they smoke as two different stories—proof of nature’s subtle influence over tobacco. Each puff is a reminder that cigars are not factory-made commodities, but living expressions of time, place, and craft. This Reserva release shows Eiroa’s mastery and willingness to open his vaults of carefully aged leaf, a gesture of trust and authenticity that elevates the Limited Cigar Association’s mission to new heights. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sweet cedar and toasted nuts, layered with a delicate honey-like sweetness. The retrohale offers a kick of red pepper and citrus zest, awakening the palate. Second Third: Creaminess builds, with notes of vanilla, roasted nuts, and subtle oak. The smoke becomes thicker, almost buttery, while a light pepper undertone keeps the balance. Final Third: The profile deepens into rich cedar, honeycomb, and earth with lingering spice. A warm finish of citrus peel and roasted almonds closes the journey on a refined note. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is the embodiment of Privada’s mission: rarity, craftsmanship, and narrative. With every LCA Vintage Reserva, we give our members the rare chance to taste the nuances of a single farm’s crop from a single year. It’s an experience that most cigar smokers will never encounter, and it reminds us that cigar smoking is about more than indulgence—it’s about connection to the earth, to time, and to heritage.

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.

The Day Off (Robusto) Aged 7+ Years, Made at La Zona (Espinosa)
The Day Off (Robusto) Aged 7+ Years, Made at La Zona (Espinosa) Size: 5×52Vitola: RobustoWrapper: Ecuadorian Rosado, Sungrown HabanoBinder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan and DominicanFlavor Notes: Sweet caramel, leather, figs, vanilla bean, cream, hazelnut, chocolate syrup, chestnuts, toasted walnuts, roasted coffee bean, almond, charred cedar, black pepper.Pairing Notes: Hazelnut coffee, mocha cappuccino, amber lagers, bourbon on the rocks, coconut cream pie, chocolate ice cream, caramel chews, almond joy, vanilla cookies, pancakes with sausage or bacon.Manufacturer: La Zona Factory (Espinosa Cigars) Privada Storytelling Some cigars are accidents of fate—treasures hidden in the aging rooms until the right moment. The Day Off is one of those. Six years ago, a wealthy entrepreneur launched a boutique brand at Erik Espinosa’s La Zona factory, sparing no expense on the finest Rosado wrappers and select fillers. Despite the quality, the brand dissolved, and its cigars were thought lost forever. Years later, Erik revealed he still had thousands resting in his aging rooms. Seven years of age later, those cigars came to Privada. This is the cigar for exactly what its name implies: a day off. A cigar you don’t rush through, one that asks you to stop, breathe, and taste the years of patience and serendipity that brought it into your hands. Flavor Journey First Third: Rich coffee and caramel open the show, layered with vanilla bean, cream, chocolate syrup, and a dash of black pepper. The retrohale bursts with toasted macadamia nuts. Second Third: The smoke turns creamier with phantom coconut cream, swirls of chocolate and vanilla, wheat crackers, chestnuts, and toasted walnuts. Smooth yet dynamic. Final Third: The cigar crescendos with bolder notes of almond, charred cedar, roasted coffee bean, and a sweet return of chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut. Why It Belongs in Privada The Day Off exemplifies Privada’s mission: finding what others overlook and bringing it to life. Without persistence, these cigars would still be sitting in Erik Espinosa’s rooms, forgotten. Instead, they are here—aged, refined, and brimming with flavor. This is the definition of Privada: discovering treasures and sharing them with those who know how to appreciate the rarest moments in cigars.
