The name alone grabs you. Medulla Oblongata—it sounds like a secret weapon or a line from a cigar noir film. But beneath that wild branding lies a brilliant concept: two cigars, one round (Medulla), one box-pressed (Oblongata), both rolled with the same tobacco. It’s a study in geometry, combustion, and flavor perception. And it’s not just clever—it’s downright delicious. Privada champions experiments that stick the landing, and this one lands with a fistful of flavor and a wink. A Honduran puro with brains and brawn? Count us in.
The toro opens with roasted peanut and pepper spice, settling into milk chocolate and dry earth. As it warms, vanilla cream and toasted oak layer in, balanced by coffee bean and gentle leather. Mid-smoke offers baking spice and black pepper on the retrohale, while a sweet, nutty base holds steady. The final third leans richer—more leather, more cocoa, and a lingering caramelized nuttiness that coats the palate. Whether in round or pressed form, it stays bold, balanced, and surprisingly smooth.
Because Medulla Oblongata doesn’t just deliver a great smoke—it asks a question: can the same leaf taste different just by changing the shape? And the answer is yes. That curiosity, that willingness to play while still respecting the craft, is exactly why Privada exists. This is a cigar that doesn't care about the rules—it rewrites them with chalk, lights up, and blows them away.
