Privada Storytelling
The Ashton Magnum is a classic in the truest sense. Born of a partnership between Robert Levin and the Fuente family, it represents the golden standard of refined Dominican craftsmanship. Wrapped in a silky Connecticut Shade leaf and filled with elegantly aged Dominican tobacco, it’s the cigar equivalent of tailored linen in the summertime—light, clean, and perfectly structured. In Privada, we celebrate timelessness, and the Magnum is the kind of cigar that reminds you why classics never go out of style.
Flavor Journey
Lighting up reveals soft notes of toasted almond and fresh cream. A gentle pepper buzz lingers in the background, never overpowering the buttery biscuit and cedarwood heart of the profile. Vanilla bean and floral hay rise in the midsection, followed by a light honey sweetness that glides toward the finish. Throughout, the burn is razor-straight, the draw effortless, and the transitions smooth and deliberate. It’s not loud—but it says everything with grace.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Because while Privada thrives on rare finds and rebellious blends, we never lose respect for the cigars that shaped the culture. The Ashton Magnum is one of those pillars. It’s an intro cigar that never gets old. A morning smoke that holds its own after dinner. It’s what balance tastes like. And when you want to remind yourself what impeccable blending feels like at its most restrained and classic—this is it.
