Chico Rivas. Dominican Republic's best-kept secret. Until now. In this exotic and flavor-filled journey of a cigar, you will get to know the blending style of Chico. Never before have you experienced such a deep and pronounced flavor with a gentle body and slow progression. This cigar is a testament to what makes Chico so masterful. There are very few palates that would ever know that this cigar, like most of Chico's blends, comes from the Dominican Republic. Chico is a masterful artist of tobacco whose work is on full display in this Privada Experience.
