Produced over six years ago by Joya de Nicaragua for a well-known figure whose name remains confidential, this cigar’s story is as much about time as it is about tobacco.

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.

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.

Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years
Tabacalera Chalet Las Palomitas PCC Aged 1.5+ Years Size: 6×52Vitola: ToroWrapper: Connecticut ShadeBinder: UndisclosedFillers: UndisclosedFlavor Notes: Pie crust, honey, toasted cereal, black pepper, butter, golden almond, cedar, whipped cream, orange essencePairing Notes: Peach pie, Honeycomb cereal, coffee, powdered sugar donuts, yellow cake, croissant, scotch, breakfast sausage, waffles, honey, orange tea, Blue Moon with an orange slice, butterscotchManufacturer: Tabacalera Chalet (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Las Palomitas is one of those Privada discoveries that proves why this community exists. The story begins in Estelí, Nicaragua, when I was visiting my brother AJ Fernandez. Instead of staying put in the factory, we decided to cruise through town. We ended up at a soccer field where factory workers from across Estelí gather to play, talk, and escape the rolling tables for a bit. Curious stares turned into conversation when my guide told them who I was: el gringo puro—the gringo obsessed with cigars. After a few laughs and cervezas, some of the men revealed they’d been quietly rolling their own cigars in a makeshift chinchalle—a tiny factory set up in what used to be a restaurant. Six rolling stations, dim light, and an aging room that shocked me: thousands of perfectly rolled Connecticut Shade sticks stacked and waiting. They handed me one. I lit it. Within minutes, I knew I had stumbled onto something special. Right then, a deal was made, and history was written. This cigar isn’t about polish or pretense—it’s about pure passion. It’s about the underdogs of Estelí, the ones rolling cigars after their shifts at the big factories, building their dream one leaf at a time. When you smoke the Las Palomitas, you’re not just tasting tobacco—you’re tasting hustle, community, and a little rebellion. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with pie crust, butter, and sugar, immediately giving off a warm pastry quality. A blast of black and red pepper retrohale kicks things up, while whipped cream and toasted cereal ride underneath. Notes of cedar and golden almond appear, creating a sweet-savory balance. Second Third: The sweetness intensifies into something like wet powdered sugar. Cedar turns slightly piney, while hints of Malibu coconut rum sneak into the profile. Pie crust, honey, hay, and cream dominate, supported by a mellower black pepper. Final Third: Still pastry-like with dominant notes of crust and butter. Honey and roasted almond develop into something reminiscent of Honeycomb cereal. Creamy smoke lingers with touches of orange zest, fried sweetness, and cedar. The finish is syrupy and golden, both comforting and addictive. Why It Belongs in Privada This is Privada at its best—an underground discovery that no one else could have brought to light. A cigar that sat quietly in a shadowy chinchalle, waiting for someone to believe in it. A cigar that tells the story of Estelí’s workers creating something for themselves, outside the spotlight of the big factories. By sharing Las Palomitas with our members, we celebrate not only the flavor but the audacity of these craftsmen to carve their own path.

Clark Thornton, a name familiar to many in the Privada family, discovered that his great-grandfather once ran a cigar company and shop in Erie, Pennsylvania called A.A. Brugger. From the early 1900s into the 1960s, A.A. Brugger was a staple of Erie’s cigar culture, celebrated for its dark, Pennsylvania-grown wrapper—the same broadleaf that would later rise to fame across the industry. Privada has recreated this lost legacy, resurrecting A.A. Brugger in a modern form while remaining true to its Pennsylvania roots. Where once Cuban filler was used, this remake now relies on Nicaraguan tobaccos, marrying American tradition with Nicaraguan boldness. The result is not just a cigar—it’s a living link to a family story and a tribute to American cigar history. Flavor Journey First Third: Chocolate syrup and creamy smoke hit the palate, layered with faint dried Italian herbs, oak, and white pepper. Retrohale delivers sharp white pepper, cream, and wood, while tropical fruit notes like banana and mango flash across the background. Second Third: The pepper evolves from white to black as cocoa deepens. Fruit becomes more pronounced, evoking chocolate-covered cherries. Cherry wood, cream, and minerals tingle the tongue, joined by fleeting tropical sweetness and rich tobacco undertones. Final Third: A crescendo of tropical fruit and creamy milk chocolate leads the way. Pineapple-like zest and mineral brightness pop against the backdrop of white and black pepper. Notes of firewood and oak ground the experience, closing with a bold and memorable finish. Why It Belongs in Privada The A.A. Brugger remake is more than a cigar—it’s a resurrection. By reviving Clark Thornton’s family heritage, Privada bridges cigar history with modern craftsmanship. This cigar embodies what the Privada movement is all about: uncovering lost treasures, honoring tradition, and reimagining them for today’s discerning smoker.

The Volute Aged 3+ Year

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.

Montenegro President Series Cordial Aged 6+ Years
Montenegro President Series Cordial Aged 6+ Years Size: 5 1/2×53Vitola: Robusto ExtraWrapper: Undisclosed (Montenegro estate-grown, organic)Binder: Undisclosed (Montenegro estate-grown, organic)Fillers: Proprietary blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos grown under the direction of Hector Luis PrietoFlavor Notes: Agave nectar, rawhide, sesame oil, jalapeño spice, mint leaf, cherry blossom, craisin, white chocolate, tamarindPairing Notes: Over-proof rye bourbon, mint tea with honey, fatty steak, salmon, flan, Jamaican beef patties, orange soda, Tootsie RollsManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars Privada Storytelling Montenegro has built its legend on mystery, patience, and the steady hand of one of Cuba’s greatest growers, Héctor Luis Prieto. When I first smoked their Batista, it was clear this brand was different. But I wanted to know why. After shared meals and long conversations at the Grand Havana Room, the secret surfaced: Prieto not only helped establish Montenegro’s organic farm but brought with him seeds from Cuba’s hallowed soils. He visits Nicaragua twice a year, still tasting the soil itself to determine its quality—a practice as unorthodox as it is brilliant. The President Series Cordial carries this legacy. While the Batista was an elegant revelation, the Cordial is wilder, zestier, unapologetically bold. It is a cigar that embodies Prieto’s fearless farming philosophy and Montenegro’s unwavering dedication to long-term aging. Six years of rest has honed its flavors into something both refined and primal—a smoke that balances rawhide earthiness with perfumed florals and decadent sweetness. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sweet agave nectar, rawhide, sesame oil, and sugarcane. Red pepper oil lights up the retrohale, delivering a jalapeño-like zing. Smoke is oily, like olive oil, with flashes of mint leaf and curry spice. Herbal parsley and tree bark deepen the rawhide base. Second Third: The profile evolves into mint leaves, maple syrup, agave, dried oregano, and floral perfume—cherry blossom with hints of berry. Wagyu-like fattiness meets Korean BBQ and sesame, offering a savory depth that contrasts beautifully with the sweet and herbal tones. Final Third: White pepper and mint leaf dominate, accented by cherry blossom, craisin, and tamarind. Sweetness lingers with notes of raisin and white chocolate. The rawhide foundation persists, adding rustic weight to an otherwise elegant close. Why It Belongs in Privada The Cordial is proof that Montenegro is more than hype—it’s heritage, craft, and time woven into every puff. With Hector Luis Prieto’s Cuban legacy guiding the farm, Montenegro stands at the pinnacle of boutique luxury. The Cordial isn’t just a cigar, it’s a conversation between Cuba’s soul and Nicaragua’s soil, aged six years to perfection.

The Flor de Selva White Rose is her love letter to cedar-aged refinement.
