Montenegro White PCC Aged 7+ Years
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cocoa Di Padre Size: 5 1/2×52Vitola: Robusto ExtraWrapper: 7-Year Aged Dominican CorojoBinder: 5-Year Aged Dominican Piloto CubanoFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Cocoa, pastry cream, toasted almond, cedar, baking spices, sweet syrupPairing Notes: Espresso with crema, amaretto, hot chocolate with whipped cream, hazelnut liqueur, tiramisuManufacturer: Chico Rivas, Dominican Republic Privada Storytelling In the rolling hills of Northern Italy, where a family has been handcrafting chocolates and pastries since 1882, a love for cigars quietly grew alongside their culinary mastery. The patriarch of this family, entranced by the artistry of tobacco, reached out to none other than Dominican master blender Chico Rivas. His request was simple but profound: create a cigar worthy of sitting alongside their century-old chocolate recipes. For years, this cigar was an intimate treasure, shared only with friends and relatives of the family. Now, with rare permission—and without the use of their sacred name or logo—a small allotment of this dessert-like masterpiece has been released exclusively through the Limited Cigar Association. Cocoa Di Padre is more than a cigar; it is an edible memory transformed into smoke, the taste of Italy’s legacy of indulgence reimagined in tobacco form. Flavor Journey First Third: A velvet opening of cocoa powder and pastry cream, laced with toasted almonds and sweet cedar. Retrohale introduces hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, recalling a warm Italian bakery at dawn. Second Third: The profile deepens into layers of molten chocolate, vanilla bean, and hazelnut cream, with a drizzle of sweet syrup rounding out the mid-palate. Cedar and soft pepper weave in for balance. Final Third: Darker, richer notes emerge—espresso, charred oak, and spiced cocoa—leaving a lingering sweetness reminiscent of tiramisu dusted with cocoa powder. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to unearth treasures meant for the few. Cocoa Di Padre is a cigar born from private indulgence, never intended for the world, and that is exactly why it belongs here. Its story weaves together chocolate artisanship, family tradition, and Chico Rivas’ legendary touch. For members of Privada, it’s a chance to taste history otherwise locked away behind the doors of an Italian family’s kitchen.

And what better way to mark the season than with a lancero that embodies both power and finesse? The AJ Fernandez Scrooge Aged 2+ Years is our quarterly nod to the lancero lovers out there, but this one carries a special weight.

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. While Cuba gets all the romance, Hialeah Gardens is the true lifeblood of today’s cigar industry. This limited edition is a nod to that, crafted by one of Miami’s own, Erik Espinosa. It’s rare, aged, and bold enough to carry the name of the city where the cigar world truly converges.

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.

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.
