Color Series Black And Yellow Aged 3.5 Years
Color Series Black And Yellow Aged 3.5 Years Size: 6 1/2×47Vitola: Corona ExtraWrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Cocoa butter, hazelnut, vanilla, cedar, chocolate, red pepper, dried fruits, espressoPairing Notes: Red birch beer, rum, Nutella, Goobers, brownies, focaccia bread, Italian food, pizzaManufacturer: AJ Fernandez (Estelí, Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Color Series Black and Yellow, also known as No Puppets Allowed, is a statement cigar—a declaration that Privada is unafraid to disrupt an industry often too comfortable in its ways. Originally part of a limited seasonal release from AJ Fernandez, this Nicaraguan Puro never carried his name but was entirely grown and crafted on his Estelí farms. Aged 3.5 years, this cigar belongs to a chapter in our Color Series defined by rebellion, resilience, and authenticity. The cease-and-desist battles, the whispers from the titans of tobacco, the attempts to keep Privada from shaking up their quiet empire—it all makes this release even more meaningful. This isn’t just a cigar. It’s proof that the culture cannot be controlled, and that real passion for tobacco will always find its way to the people who deserve it most: you, the smoker. Flavor Journey From the first draw, you’re enveloped in rich cocoa, cocoa butter, and hazelnut, layered with vanilla and fresh cedar. A touch of black pepper and dried thyme on the retrohale creates the feel of an herb-crusted bread kissed with chocolate sweetness. As the second third opens, the pepper evolves into red spice, while the body grows sweeter with cream, cocoa, and dried fruits—apples, mangos, and a raspberry tang that surprises the palate. The retrohale remains dynamic, offering bread crust, herbs, and cream in equal measure. The final third builds toward a crescendo: sweet cedar, cream, cayenne, espresso, and oregano, leaving behind the lasting impression of a cigar that marries boldness with elegance. Why It Belongs in Privada The Black and Yellow isn’t simply another aged Nicaraguan Puro—it’s a relic from AJ’s farms, released under circumstances that highlight the friction between innovation and tradition. Privada thrives in that space. We exist to uncover and share the stories the industry wants hidden. This cigar is not just smoke—it’s resistance, history, and triumph rolled into one.

Owned by Sandy Cobas, this boutique factory is legendary for employing only level 9 Cuban rollers, ensuring every cigar reflects the techniques and elegance of true Cuban tradition. Triple caps, Cuban-style construction, meticulous handwork—El Titan is as much a cultural treasure as it is a factory. The Sumatra Lancero LE is a testament to what happens when tradition meets daring choice. Sumatra has long been considered an underrated wrapper, capable of delivering a refined, aromatic smoke. Rolled with painstaking care and aged for over four years under Privada’s stewardship, this cigar is delicate yet bold, floral yet spiced, balanced yet expressive. The fact that El Titan de Bronze remains the most expensive factory in the U.S. to produce cigars makes this release even more special. It’s a true luxury experience, crafted in the heart of Miami but steeped in global tradition. Every puff is both a celebration of heritage and an affirmation of why Privada exists: to give members access to the best of the best. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a bouquet of florals, cedar, and oak. Salt and pepper season the palate while the retrohale introduces dried fruits and red pepper. Smoke is powdery and clean, finishing with herbal root notes. Second Third: Creamier textures arrive with buttery richness. Cedar and florals intertwine with sarsaparilla root and cinnamon. Retrohale becomes sugary and floral, with vanilla and almond adding subtle sweetness. The smoke feels effervescent, almost soda-like, elevating the experience. Final Third: Cinnamon and sarsaparilla carry through, joined by florals and oak. Retrohale smooths into oaky spice with hints of sweetness, while the smoke melds into a harmonious climax of flowers, wood, and gentle spice. Balanced, ethereal, and deeply satisfying. Why It Belongs in Privada El Titan de Bronze is where heritage lives. Producing cigars here costs double or triple compared to factories abroad, which is why so few attempt it. But Privada members demand more than convenience—they demand history, artistry, and perfection. The Sumatra Lancero LE embodies that ethos, marrying Cuban tradition with Privada’s aging philosophy. With over four years of rest, it is not just a cigar; it is an experience of rarity, heritage, and patience.

Carrillo Cigars E.P. Carrillo Encore
E.P. Carrillo Encore Size: Valiente: 6 1/8×52 Torpedo El Primero: 6 7/8×54 Majestic: 5 3/8×52 Vitola: Varies by size (Torpedo, Toro, Robusto)Wrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Red rich tobacco, oak, bread, florals, vanilla, honey, minerals, citrus zest, butter, black pepper, cinnamon, cocoa powder, herbs, mossPairing Notes: Red wines, aged cheddar, cognac, rye bourbon, lowlands scotch, pilsner beers, red velvet cake, butterscotch, Snickers, café latte with cinnamon, crumb cakeManufacturer: E.P. Carrillo (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling Few cigars carry a story as monumental as the E.P. Carrillo Encore. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is one of the true legends of the cigar industry—responsible for the original La Gloria Cubana and the famed Calle Ocho factory. In 2018, his Encore took the #1 spot on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list. But here’s what makes this Privada release so extraordinary: these are the original 2017 batch, the very cigars from which the #1 accolade was born. While most “Cigar of the Year” winners lose their magic once demand skyrockets and tobaccos get swapped, these have not. They were crafted with care, aged in EPC’s famed cedar aging rooms, and held back from the market. Privada secured them years later, now aged 3+ years, and offered them in their most authentic form. These Encores are not just cigars—they’re pieces of cigar history. When you smoke one, you’re smoking the actual blend that captured the world’s attention. Smooth, balanced, herbaceous, buttery, with that signature zingy retrohale—it’s Ernesto at his peak. A mic-drop moment for both EPC and Privada. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with honey, oak, bread, florals, and pepper, delivered in buttery-rich smoke. Retrohale is zingy yet elegant, balancing clean minerality with red rich tobacco and a floral lift. Vanilla notes emerge, fusing beautifully with the florals. Second Third: Flavor shifts toward oak, salt, herbs, minerals, citrus zest, and moss. Butteriness remains but becomes drier, with flashes of citrus sparkle on the finish. Retrohale stays clean, adding cinnamon powder and earthy florals. Final Third: Builds to rich tobacco, cinnamon, vanilla, oak, and earth. Toasted bread and herbs intensify, with black pepper softening into warm cinnamon spice. The retrohale closes with heavy oak, red tobacco, and a cooling sensation on the palate. Why It Belongs in Privada The E.P. Carrillo Encore belongs in Privada not just for its flavor, but for its historical weight. To hold the original batch of a #1 cigar in the world is a rare privilege, and to smoke it years later, perfectly aged, is even rarer. This is what Privada represents—access to cigars no one else in the world can offer, connecting members directly to moments of tobacco history.

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, tobacco is not just his livelihood—it is his identity. For years, Edgar worked under the shadow of master blenders such as Chico Rivas, learning the intricacies of fermentation, the patience of pilón management, and the delicate artistry of Dominican blending. Today, with his own factory, he finally steps into the spotlight with a cigar that bears his signature in every leaf. The Monovarietal Corojo Edition is a bold statement: a Dominican puro composed entirely of Corojo, but drawn from different primings and parts of the plant. This choice is both daring and demanding. Unlike Nicaragua, where the raw power of the soil ensures easier blends, Dominican tobacco requires time, finesse, and culinary precision. Done right, however, the result is transcendent. This cigar proves it. Aged for 5+ years, it showcases what only a Dominican puro can: rich, nuanced flavor without palate fatigue. It is sweet, spiced, earthy, and creamy all at once—an elegant dessert cigar that reveals the skill of a rising master. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with molasses, cedar sharpness, and damp earth, evolving into blueberry, licorice, and confectioner’s sugar. Hints of brownie and vanilla custard appear alongside cedar and floral touches. Second Third: Deepens into Christmas fruit cake, with pine, cedar, prune, and cashew butter creaminess. Balanced layers of baked fruits, herbs, and chocolate graham crackers dominate. Final Third: Climaxes with cinnamon, cayenne spice, vanilla custard, powdered sugar, and hazelnut over a buttery, herbal base. Smooth yet bold, it finishes with a lingering richness of sweet cream and wood. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is a declaration of Dominican craftsmanship at its highest form. Where others chase flashy labels or easy blends, Edgar Sued proves that patience, skill, and passion can turn a single varietal into an entire symphony of flavor. By bringing this to Privada, we give our members a chance to taste something rare: a Dominican puro that rivals anything on the global stage. It represents the next generation of blenders and the continuing evolution of Privada’s promise—access to cigars no one else can offer.

A few months back, I got a call from J.C. Newman in Tampa, Florida, one of the most historic and respected names in cigars. They wanted to talk about community, about culture, about what makes Privada so powerful. Naturally, I turned the conversation back to you, our members, because without you there is no Privada. The collaboration turned into more than just a meeting. It became a cigar—a statement piece in Broadleaf—that I personally designed the band for and oversaw during blending.

Reinier Lorenzo, the man behind HVC, is a Havana-born visionary who once worked in a science lab before dedicating his life to the leaf. With the voice of a dictator and the heart of a true craftsman, Reinier has built a reputation for blending cigars full of body, aroma, and authenticity. This PCC Exclusive 2019 represents his second attempt at the perfect Privada cigar. The first blend he sent was so powerful it risked overwhelming some members. When asked for more balance without losing its punch, he came back with this masterpiece. What you’re smoking now is the refinement of that first attempt, and the result is extraordinary. But here’s the kicker: the rare Maduro Ligero tobacco used in this blend is notoriously difficult to grow and nearly impossible to procure in quantity. That means what you hold in your hands is one of the few cigars of its kind. Originally ordered when the club was smaller, not every member got one in their box—but those who did, and those who still can, know this is a once-in-a-blue-moon experience. Flavor Journey First Third: Leather, cream, roasted peanuts, and pepper define the opening. Notes of espresso and dried herbs weave through a creamy, balanced smoke. Second Third: Sharp cedar arrives on the retrohale, joined by toasted coconut, white pepper, and leather. A sweetness develops, reminiscent of agave syrup, coating the tongue with richness and depth. Final Third: The cigar crescendos with agave syrup sweetness, dried thyme, citrus zest, vanilla, and lemon. Leather remains steady as the profile closes with balance, finesse, and lingering complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada The HVC PCC Exclusive is the definition of what Privada stands for: rarity, authenticity, and storytelling. Reinier Lorenzo gave us not just a cigar, but a glimpse into his evolving artistry. With rare Maduro Ligero tobacco at its core, this cigar is unrepeatable. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. For collectors, for smokers, for believers in the craft—this is one to treasure.
