Privada Storytelling
Named "1OFAHKINE" (a play on "one of a kind"), this blend reflects Ike Taylor's storied career with the Steelers and his personal involvement in its creation—sampling 40 tobaccos to refine its character. Crafted by Howard G; this medium-bodied toro is both celebratory and personal, blending American and Nicaraguan tobacco to honor Taylor’s roots and legacy.
Flavor Journey
First third: Opens with sweet brownie-like aroma and sharp pepper, drawing in roasted nuts, cedar, and toast. The retrohale refines with mild spice.
Mid-smoke: Smooth transitions bring butter-cracker sweetness and dark chocolate richness, with continued nutty and toasted bread notes.
Final third: Citrus brightness surfaces, layered over rich nut flavors and cedar. The finish is toasted, soft-spiced, and clean.
