Description
Privada Storytelling
In 2014, AJ Fernandez introduced New World with his father Ismael—an homage to the tobacco that changed the course of history in 1492. The line was a breakthrough, making bold Nicaraguan blends accessible while showcasing AJ’s rising mastery. A decade later, the New World Decenio was born, not just as an anniversary cigar but as a living tribute to everything that AJ and his family-built empire stand for.
The Robusto format crystallizes that achievement in its purest form. Shorter, denser, and rich with concentrated flavor, this vitola becomes the celebratory cigar for the smoker who doesn’t just want to commemorate ten years, but to taste them. With every draw, the Robusto reminds you of AJ’s evolution—from his humble beginnings in Estelí to becoming one of the most respected names in premium tobacco worldwide.
Flavor Journey
The Robusto opens with cedar and espresso, delivering an immediate depth that sets the tone. Cocoa and roasted nuts weave into the core, softened by a molasses sweetness that lingers on the lips. As the cigar warms, baking spices rise on the retrohale, balanced by leather and earth. The finish is long and clean, with a harmony that reflects the years of aged tobacco behind this blend. Compact yet powerful, the Robusto makes every puff count.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada honors stories that need to be remembered. The New World Decenio Robusto is more than a cigar—it is a decade of progress, passion, and family commitment rolled into one. Its size and balance make it a collector’s choice and a perfect fit for the Privada ethos of celebrating history, rarity, and significance in cigar culture. This is AJ Fernandez, distilled and defined in Robusto form.
