Half Bird – December 2024 LCA Release

The story of Half Bird is as straightforward as it gets. Privada Cigar Club founder Brian Desind picked up a Blackbird band, tore it in half, and said, “This should be the band. Let’s call it Half a Bird.” And that’s exactly what they did. But this isn’t just about the band—it’s about the cigar. Half Bird is the creation of Papo El Caballo, a master blender whose precision and expertise earned him a legendary reputation during his time at Davidoff. Now at Blackbird, Papo has crafted a cigar that’s bold, balanced, and distinctly Dominican. Featuring an aged Dominican wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, Half Bird delivers a flavor profile that’s smooth, complex, and satisfying. Expect notes of fresh cedar, sweet honey, bright citrus, and a rich, earthy core. Perfect for the holiday season, this 6×52 cigar is the kind of smoke you’ll want to savor.
