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 swipe of burnt orange zest brightens the profile, soon deepened by toasted walnut and cedar warmth. The mid-smoke builds spiced molasses, black pepper, and a whisper of clove that feels like distant footsteps in the dark. As the cigar winds down, mineral earth and soot give way to smooth cedar and vanilla sweetness that warms the finish. Each puff is a flicker of flame, a breath of autumn. Why It Belongs in Privada Because Halloween 2023 is ritual and reprisal—scarce, atmospheric, and purpose-built. It isn’t meant for everyday; it’s meant for moments that matter and memories that linger. In Privada, we don’t chase trends, we conjure moments.

Erik Espinosa, an industry icon whose journey began with giants like Rocky Patel and Drew Estate before founding Espinosa Cigars, has always had an eye for quality and flavor. When AJ Fernández — one of the most celebrated blenders alive — created one of his priciest blends for Espinosa, a band mishap rerouted this luxury project into Privada’s hands. What could have been lost to error instead became legend. Espinosa’s mastery and AJ’s brilliance combine here, creating a cigar that was never meant to fall into the public’s lap at this price point. It’s a moment of fortune — one of those rare times when a mistake becomes history, and collectors reap the reward. Flavor Journey Opening Act: Black pepper and milk chocolate lead, giving way to cream, oak, leather, caramel powder, smoke, vanilla, and charred cedar. A toasted marshmallow sweetness lingers. Mid-Session Revelations: Cedar and pine meet chocolate charcoal, espresso, and sweet chocolate syrup. Black pepper remains while raspberry brightness adds intrigue. The Grand Finale: Espresso and oak dominate with chocolate syrup richness. Red pepper and earthy root spice rise, evoking root beer syrup. Vanilla undertones close the performance in harmony. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada thrives on moments that the rest of the cigar world overlooks. Purple 6 is one such moment — an ultra-premium AJ Fernández blend, crafted for Espinosa, that fell into Privada’s hands through pure chance. It’s proof that accidents can sometimes produce masterpieces.

Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged)
Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats Aged 5+ Years (Not Barrel Aged) Size: 4.5×58 Box PressVitola: Short Gordo Box PressWrapper: Brazilian CubraBinder: IndonesianFillers: Pennsylvania Ligero, Corojo Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 SecoFlavor Notes: Leather, chocolate iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, roasted nuts, sage, rosemary, licorice, charred wood, black pepper, cinnamon gum, graham cracker, mineralityPairing Notes: Cappuccino, flan, roasted nuts, bourbon, whiskey, rye, apricot-peach iced tea, root beer barrel candy, cream soda, rum and coke, pork dishes, brie cheese, vanilla sundae with fudge and peanuts, red TwizzlersManufacturer: Blackbird Cigar Co. (Dominican Republic) Privada Storytelling The Minnesota Fats is the grand finale of a saga that began with Fast Eddie and The Vince, each release a nod to the pool-hall legends of The Color of Money and its predecessor The Hustler. While Jackie Gleason’s portrayal of Minnesota Fats never made it into Scorsese’s sequel, his legend inspired the final chapter in this trilogy. A big man deserved a big ring gauge, and so we end on a bold, box-pressed 58. Each release in this series has been a study in how a simple change—length or width—reshapes an entire smoking experience. This cigar was blended at Blackbird by “Caballo,” a master roller once hailed as Davidoff’s fastest, producing a record-setting 500 cigars in an eight-hour shift. Caballo represents the unsung artisans of the craft cigar movement, those whose names seldom leave the factory floor but whose work shapes the culture we celebrate. Now, after five years of Privada-controlled aging, Minnesota Fats emerges as both a tribute and a farewell. It’s big, bold, complex, and unapologetically rich—fitting for the close of a story about legends. Flavor Journey First Third: The opening surprises with a sour cheese note off the body and chocolate chip cookies off the foot. The draw reveals Fig Newtons, dried apricot, and granola before shifting into leather, iced shortbread cookies, oatmeal, oak, light brown sugar, and gritty black pepper. Roasted nuts anchor the flavor while the retrohale bursts with cedar, black pepper, cashew, and sage. Second Third: The cigar evolves toward herbal brightness with sage, rosemary, and dried basil layered over salted mixed nuts, graham cracker, and minerality. Leather deepens, while retrohale sharpens into Big Red cinnamon gum, more sage, and a refreshing menthol coolness through the nose. Final Third: Darkness and depth define the finale. Hickory, charred oak, and cedar combine with sage, black licorice, and a stronger pepper core. The cigar finishes savory, woody, and bold—like the last shot in a high-stakes pool game. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada doesn’t just release cigars—it documents eras. The Minnesota Fats marks the conclusion of a trilogy that embodies storytelling through tobacco, showing how one blend can become three entirely different experiences simply by changing vitola. Aging it over five years has unlocked a new level of depth, making this cigar not only a celebration of craft but a capsule of Privada history. It stands as proof of why Privada matters: preserving moments, elevating artisans, and turning cigars into legends.

Kings County. Home of Christopher Wallace—Biggie Smalls—the legend who defined an era of music and culture. This cigar was born from an idea by former Bad Boy Records executives who wanted to pay homage to Biggie in the most timeless way possible: with a cigar wrapped in one of the most iconic symbols of hip-hop, the Jesus Piece. The band alone is stunning, but the cigar beneath it might just be even better. This is more than just a cigar; it’s an experience that bridges music, culture, and tobacco. While the factory remains a mystery, the craftsmanship leaves no doubt—a blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian tobaccos finished in a silky Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. And aged for over three years under Privada’s watchful eye, it has grown into one of the finest 60-ring gauge cigars ever to grace the club. Biggie asked, “Who shot ya?” Privada answers with, “Who rolled ya?”—and while the blender may remain undisclosed, the artistry is undeniable. Kings County is a bold, cultural artifact, and one of the best gordos you’ll ever smoke. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with saddle leather, barnyard earth, sesame seed, cocoa, and walnut. Retrohale delivers white pepper and baking cocoa. Sweet chocolate, dried mango, black cherry syrup, candied citrus, and toasted almond begin to shine. The smoke texture is creamy, like olive oil, with floral undertones and raspberry syrup emerging. Second Third: Light cedar becomes the dominant wood note. Freeze-dried raspberry, sesame oil, olive oil creaminess, and delicate florals rise. Dark chocolate blends with rosemary and charred oak. Subtle savory notes—animal fat, roasted pork—interplay with almond and cocoa. Balanced sweetness and char anchor the progression. Final Third: Ginger spice, candied ginger, delicate white florals, and layers of oak carry the finale. Retrohale sharpens with florals and charred wood. Smoke remains smooth, dense, and complex, closing with a refined balance of sweetness, tang, wood, and spice. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada is about curating cigars that tell stories beyond the smoke, and this cigar embodies that mission. Tied to Biggie Smalls, Brooklyn, and the cultural icons of an era, the Kings County Habano 6×60 connects music, legacy, and artistry into one unforgettable experience. By aging it for over three years, Privada transformed a bold blend into a smooth, layered masterpiece—proving that even the largest vitolas can achieve unrivaled finesse.
