Rolled in slender elegance and aged for over four years, this cigar embodies what Privada seeks most: transformation through time. From the moment it was first laid down, this Lancero was designed to refine, to evolve, and to bloom into the balanced experience it has become today. Sons Of Ash is a project built on the philosophy that cigars are more than products—they are legacies. A Lancero, in particular, demands discipline to roll and to smoke. It magnifies the blend, stripping away excess and revealing the purity of the leaf. When combined with years of Privada-controlled aging, the result is a cigar that feels like a whispered conversation between past and present. Not loud, not brash—just refined, elegant, and honest. This is the kind of cigar that doesn’t need a band to impress; the experience itself is the luxury. Flavor Journey First Third: A soft introduction of earth, cedar, and aged tobacco sweetness. Subtle spice flickers on the retrohale, balanced by nuttiness and faint dried fruit. Second Third: Spice becomes more defined—gentle black pepper and cinnamon notes—while cream and cedar ground the profile. Earthiness lingers, layered with hints of cocoa and toasted almond. Final Third: Rich aged tobacco deepens, with spice mellowing into warmth. A touch of leather, dark fruit, and roasted nuts closes the cigar, finishing smooth and contemplative. Why It Belongs in Privada The Sons Of Ash Lancero is proof of why Privada exists: to find and age cigars that reveal beauty in patience. With over four years of rest, this Lancero has matured into a balanced and complex experience that simply cannot be replicated on retail shelves. Its slender vitola offers a true test of craftsmanship and rewards members with nuance, elegance, and time-woven complexity.

(Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Some cigars feel like cigars. Others feel like experiences. The Cannoli by Amendola is firmly the latter. When two Italian ex-New Yorkers—men who sound like they walked straight out of Little Italy—approached me with their own cigar project, I was skeptical. Everyone wants to be in the cigar game. But then I heard the stories, saw their hands rolling their own sticks, and finally tasted their Cannoli, and all doubts disappeared. This cigar is a dessert in the form of smoke. Sweet and savory, creamy yet spiced, it mirrors the culinary indulgence it’s named for. Like biting into a decadent pastry, it layers chocolate, coffee, fruit, and spice in waves of complexity. Aged 4 years, it’s softened, deepened, and matured into something remarkable—a true after-dinner centerpiece. The Cannoli isn’t just a cigar; it’s a slice of heritage, a taste of New York Italian culture translated into tobacco. It’s wet, gooey, rich, and unapologetically indulgent—just as it should be. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with bitter dark chocolate, charred wood, espresso, leather, cinnamon, and a peppermint-like spice, accented by tamarind and anise. The retrohale brings red pepper and espresso richness. Second Third: Shifts toward sweeter chocolate, charred woods, and root notes, with cola, leather, and chocolate-covered peppermint bark emerging. Red pepper remains, balanced by smoother cream. Final Third: Closes with Sambuca-like anise, chocolate, cream, roots, and black pepper, joined by lighter roast coffee, vanilla sweetness, and a woody finish. A perfect dessert crescendo. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to showcase cigars that tell stories and capture cultural identity, and The Cannoli does exactly that. It’s a cigar that bridges worlds—Italian pastry indulgence and Nicaraguan tobacco artistry. This cigar reminds us that a smoke can be both luxury and comfort, an indulgence meant to cap a perfect night. It is a dessert Maduro, a smoke that doubles as a memory.

BANG!—a warning shot to the senses. Kristoff Cigars is known for crafting full-bodied, unapologetic blends, but when Privada steps in, the results often push beyond what’s thought possible. The Pistoff Kristoff Gunplay is exactly that: a Lancero exclusive made for Privada members only, a bold experiment that went from a near-miss to a masterpiece. When this blend first landed, it was rough—fiery, unbalanced, even disappointing. We nearly wrote it off. But Privada’s patience is its secret weapon. After nearly a year of resting and proper aging, the Gunplay reemerged as something spectacular. What was once sharp became savory, sweet, and complex—a profile unlike any Kristoff before it. Named Gunplay for its risky move into a lancero format (Kristoff even warned it could be “dangerous”), this cigar has become one of the most unforgettable Privada exclusives to date. It doesn’t whisper its flavors; it kicks down the door with spice, sweetness, and umami. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with dark toasted bread, minerals, dried figs, prunes, and red currant, balanced by red pepper and salt. A musty sweetness begins to layer in as the bread note anchors the foundation. Second Third: Things get wild—black cherry soda, teriyaki beef jerky, maple wood, and floral powdery smoke. The sensation is sweet, savory, and spicy, like the perfect bite of Chinese orange chicken fresh from the wok. Final Third: A crescendo of soy sauce, black cherry, orange zest, fried batter, red pepper oil, and charred wood, finishing with an earthy clay note. The spice lingers long after the last puff, demanding reflection on what you just smoked. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar proves the Privada philosophy: sometimes greatness just needs time. What began as a rough, almost unsmokeable cigar became, after patient aging, a spicy, savory, sweet revelation. Kristoff’s boldest blend in a daring vitola, exclusive to Privada, transformed into what may be one of the most unique cigars of the year. This is what we live for—the magic of aging, the thrill of risk, and the satisfaction of discovery.

Noel Rojas Rojas Cigars Peruvian Gold Aged 5+ Years
Rojas Cigars Peruvian Gold Aged 5+ Years Size: 6×50 Toro (exclusive format)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan HabanoBinder: Undisclosed (Rojas proprietary)Fillers: Nicaragua & PeruFlavor Notes: Oak, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, sandalwood, confectioner’s sugar, fried dough, honeysuckle, charred wood, bourbon, umami richnessPairing Notes: Vanilla custard, bourbon, sweet tea, black tea, cognac, peaty scotch, ginger ale, butterscotch, churros, cinnamon desserts, vanilla pastriesManufacturer: Rojas Cigars (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Noel Rojas has always lived cigars with authenticity. Born in Cuba, he spent time in a Cuban prison before emigrating and reshaping his destiny on the free side of communism. He’s worked the fields, studied with legends, and mastered the art of Nicaraguan tobacco. His name now echoes throughout the boutique cigar world as a master blender and a man deeply connected to the roots of the leaf. The story of Peruvian Gold began years ago when Noel heard a tale from an old Cuban grower: cigar tobacco, they claimed, was first cultivated in Peru, then carried up the Amazon and across the Caribbean to Cuba. When Rojas had the chance to see Peruvian tobacco with his own eyes, he didn’t hesitate. Meeting an Italian landowner whose farm once supplied Zino Davidoff, Noel struck a deal to secure a lot of Peruvian leaf every year for a decade. When he first rolled the blend that would become Peruvian Gold, Noel told me, “This is only for me. I do not sell it.” But with persistence, he agreed to share this treasure with Privada. After more than five years of aging, this cigar has become his signature smoke—his story, his heritage, and his art rolled into one. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens gently with oak, honey, vanilla, black and white pepper, and sandalwood. Bourbon barrel character rises in the background, with faint cinnamon adding sweetness. Retrohale is lively with charred wood and spice. Second Third: Flavors sweeten with confectioner’s sugar, fried dough, honeysuckle, and caramelized cinnamon. The profile becomes creamy, like churro dust mingled with florals. Smoke is thick and voluminous, carrying bourbon and oak notes throughout. Final Third: The cigar crescendos into concentrated richness—sugars, oak, florals, cinnamon, and umami depth fusing together. Apricot-like fruit notes mingle with charred wood, leaving a long, indulgent finish reminiscent of aged bourbon and vanilla custard. Why It Belongs in Privada The Peruvian Gold is more than a cigar—it’s history reborn. It represents a forgotten origin of tobacco, a sacred leaf rediscovered, and a master blender’s personal secret shared with our community. No one else in the world has access to this cigar, and Noel Rojas himself once swore he would never sell it. Yet here it is, aged for over five years and offered only to Privada members. This is what makes Privada different—we uncover treasures meant for no one but legends themselves.

Owned by Gennaro Lettieri, this operation exists to supply a single client. Every leaf grown under Lettieri’s watchful eye is destined for one destination—and one destination only. Yet, in a rare twist of fate, he kept a small portion of his extraordinary tobacco for himself. That sacred stash, never sold and never shared, became the heart of The Volute. To bring it to life, Lettieri entrusted Claudio Sgroi, one of the industry’s most respected artisans, to craft a cigar worthy of the leaf’s origin. The result is a limited run that whispers of the Amazon itself: humid earth, wild botanicals, and a richness that feels untouched by modern commerce. It is as though the rainforest has been pressed into a cigar, rolled carefully in secret, and released only to those fortunate enough to encounter it through Privada and the Limited Cigar Association. Flavor Journey First Third: Earth-driven and bold, with notes of rainforest soil, dark wood, and exotic spices. A natural sweetness lingers at the edges, softening the intensity. Second Third: A medley of florals and aromatics arises, evoking the lush vegetation of the Amazon. Hints of nutmeg, cacao husk, and roasted nuts appear, balanced by creamy smoke. Final Third: The cigar deepens into resinous wood, black tea, and faint citrus peel. The sweetness lingers, joined by a mineral-rich complexity that marks the Volute as unlike anything else in the humidor. Why It Belongs in Privada The Volute is an invitation into the Amazon, one of the most inaccessible and mysterious sources of tobacco in the world. To hold this cigar is to hold history, rarity, and privilege. Gennaro Lettieri does not sell his tobacco, yet here it is—offered in partnership with Claudio Sgroi and the LCA. This is the type of release that defines Privada: a blend that can’t be duplicated, can’t be negotiated, and can’t be found anywhere else. It belongs here because it proves that even in a world of endless cigars, there are still secrets worth chasing.

If the name sounds familiar, it should—Hostos is both the cousin of Terence Reilly of Aganorsa and the nephew of Manolo Quesada of Quesada Cigars. With a family lineage this rich in cigar heritage, Hostos took a bold step into independence, launching La Isla to craft cigars that combine tradition with modern flair. Privada was among the first to partner with La Isla, choosing this maduro blend from early test runs. The habano sibling cigar ended up in our playful “Cigars We Hate” program, but this San Andrés robusto was an instant love affair. Over 3 years of age have polished its flavors, showing just how serious La Isla is about quality. While other clubs rushed in later, we were first to stake our flag on the island—and Bonita Bonita Bonita remains one of the gems of that discovery. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with a savory medley of salted popcorn, toasted almond, cream, vanilla bean, and fragrant cedar. Black pepper, cardamom, and delicate florals weave throughout, while the retrohale delivers subtle caramel, citrus brightness, and more florals over a cedar backbone. Second Third: Flavors deepen into stone fruits, stronger citrus, and a bouquet of florals. Umami elements emerge—brown sugar, browned butter, and a dash of vanilla—giving this portion a gourmand quality rarely found in a maduro robusto. Final Third: Peanut shell, honey graham, aged cedar, and cereal grains define the finale. White pepper tingles on the retrohale while bread and roasted notes close out the experience. A cigar full of dynamism, demanding patience and appreciation as it reveals layers of complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada Bonita Bonita Bonita is proof that Privada leads where others follow. Before La Isla became the industry darling, we were already placing Hostos’ work in members’ hands. This release is both a showcase of San Andrés maduro’s potential in Dominican craftsmanship and a testament to Privada’s commitment to finding brilliance before the rest of the world catches on. Aged over 3 years, it’s an introduction to the future of Dominican boutique cigars.
