It’s a cigar for connoisseurs who appreciate structure and nuance—where heritage meets headline. In Privada’s collection, it’s the reliable centerpiece: refined, resonant, and always on point.
Flavor Journey
The Bellas Artes opens with a wave of creamy cedar and black pepper, underscored by mellow sweet tobacco. Early on, hints of graham cracker and cocoa nibs surface, layering complexity without overwhelming. As you settle in, roasted almond and caramel notes stretch across the palate, while citrus-laced dried fruit adds depth. In the final third, the pepper returns, now softened by sweetness, and the tobacco core shines with refined intensity—leaving a lingering echo of graham and earth.
