Privada Storytelling
Complexity shaped in refined tradition
The Fine & Rare BCN‑143 continues Alec Bradley’s flagship legacy of ten‑leaf blends in an exclusive Churchill release. Starts with earthy leather, cedar and pepper, developing through cream and cocoa mid‑smoke, and finishing with mineral accents, toast and gentle fruit. Its box‑pressed form enhances texture and flavor unfolding. It carries medium‑full strength with elegance and depth—a signature blend refined under new stewardship.
This is crafted complexity in classic shape.
