Privada Storytelling
Espinosa Habano is the flagship that built the house of La Zona. It’s the cigar that proved Erik Espinosa could do more than blend—he could build a movement. Crafted entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco and wrapped in a silky, bronzed Habano leaf, this cigar delivers the signature Espinosa touch: bold without brute force, spicy without chaos, flavorful without filler. In Privada, Espinosa Habano holds its place not as a gimmick or a trend, but as a reminder of why boutique exists—to cut through the noise and let flavor speak for itself.

Mid-smoke: Notes of caramel, cinnamon, and earth build over a creamy, slightly sweet core. Balance emerges with rich texture.
-
Final third: Brown sugar and toasted oak lead into a warming finish of spice, wood, and subtle pepper.
