Cerro Mogotón, Nicaragua’s tallest peak, straddles the misty border with Honduras—an untouched highland where mineral-rich soil and cold nights shape the tobacco of legends. This cigar is forged from that kind of altitude-driven attitude. It doesn’t whisper. It resonates—a bassline of earth, smoke, and black coffee that hangs in the chest like a prayer. Benavides is a family brand with deep roots in northern Nicaragua, and Mogotón Maduro is their flagship force. Cloaked in San Andrés darkness, it’s earthy but electric—like lava rock soaked in molasses. You don’t just smoke this cigar. You descend into it. The air changes. The light bends. And what begins as intensity gives way to revelation: the subtle sweetness of burnt sugar, the licorice twang of anise, and the grip of fine leather aged in volcanic silence. Flavor Journey First Third: Explodes with black pepper, espresso, and earthy grit; bold and unapologetic.Second Third: Dark chocolate and burnt sugar emerge, woven through with leather and jalapeño husk.Final Third: A slow fade into mineral notes, anise, and charred oak—dense, lingering, and clean. Why It Belongs in Privada This is not a crowd-pleaser—it’s a conviction. It’s a cigar that asks you to meet it halfway. The Mogotón Maduro isn't just strong, it’s structured, layered like the geological strata of the mountain it’s named for. And in the Privada universe, where rarity meets revelation, this cigar is a summit worth climbing. It represents the untapped boutique frontier—small-production, land-informed, intensely personal. A peak in a world of plateaus.

El Septimo Cigars El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja
El Septimo – Culinary Art Collection Spain Rioja Size: 5 x 50Vitola: RobustoWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Proprietary aged blendStrength: FullOrigin: Costa RicaManufacturer: El Septimo Geneva Flavor Notes: Red wine spice, oak, dark fruit, cedar, earth, leather, subtle sweetnessPairing Notes: Rioja wine, tempranillo, espresso, dark rum Privada Storytelling El Septimo does not make quiet cigars. The Culinary Art Collection was built around the idea that tobacco could interact with the world of fine dining and luxury beverages the same way wine interacts with food. Spain Rioja takes that concept directly into the heart of Spanish winemaking. This 5 x 50 robusto was inspired by the bold character of Rioja reds, with tobacco aged in Rioja barrels to absorb subtle wine driven nuances without turning the cigar into a gimmick. The goal was structure, spice, and depth, not artificial sweetness. The result is a cigar that feels rich and layered while still remaining approachable. This is not a flavored cigar.It is a cigar shaped by environment and aging. Flavor Journey The opening introduces oak, earth, and red fruit spice with a warm, wine like richness sitting underneath the smoke. As the cigar develops, cedar and leather begin building structure while subtle sweetness rounds the sharper edges. Midway, dark fruit and spice become more pronounced, creating a profile that mirrors the layered depth of Rioja wine without overpowering the tobacco itself. The final third settles into oak, earth, and lingering warmth with a balanced finish that stays smooth despite the cigar’s full bodied nature. Why It Belongs in Privada Because this is an example of barrel influence done with restraint. Spain Rioja is not trying to imitate wine. It is trying to complement it. The aging process adds character and texture while allowing the cigar to remain tobacco first. That balance is exactly what makes it interesting. Production Notes Part of El Septimo’s Culinary Art Collection inspired by global culinary and beverage traditions. Tobacco aged in Rioja wine barrels to develop additional aroma and complexity. Rated 90 points in Cigar Aficionado’s September 2025 issue.

Rolled entirely with Honduran tobacco, this cigar carries the warmth, structure, and identity that defined Eiroa’s legacy long before modern trends took hold. This is not a commemorative cigar dressed up for celebration. It is a statement of survival, discipline, and belief in the leaf. A cigar for smokers who understand where flavor really comes from. Flavor Journey The opening delivers classic Corojo cedar and red pepper, immediately grounding the profile in Honduran terroir.

The name 11/18 has long been synonymous with the Eiroa legacy, representing a vitola invented by Christian’s father, Julio, for a cigar that would develop in stages as it burned. In this rendition, the Habano wrapper brings bright spice, nutty sweetness, and an underlying creaminess that highlight the purity of Honduran-grown tobacco.

This cigar doesn’t need flash or gimmickry — it’s confident in its heritage. Every draw reminds you that true craftsmanship lies in consistency, restraint, and pride in one’s own tobacco. Flavor Journey The first third greets you with cedar, roasted nuts, and black pepper. As the cigar widens through the middle, sweet spice and cream emerge, underscored by cocoa and faint citrus zest. In the final third, the flavor deepens — cedar returns with a richer body, balanced by smooth coffee and a touch of mineral earth. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada celebrates authenticity, and few cigars embody that more than the CLE Habano 11/18. It’s not trying to imitate Cuba or Nicaragua — it’s proudly Honduran, grown, blended, and rolled by one family across generations.

In every puff, it reflects Christian’s mastery — a craftsman who knows how to turn strength into symphony. Flavor Journey The first third opens with espresso, cedar, and black pepper.
