A Reverent Evolution in Shadowed Leaf
Viaticum is the torch-lit successor to Last Rites—grave, complex, and refined. It marries premium Honduran and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos with an Ecuadorian Maduro wrapper and Habano binder, reflecting James Brown’s intent to balance strength with nuance. This robusto isn’t boastful; it's ceremonious—build by build, taste by taste, it honors ritual in each box-pressed moment.
First third:
Deep cocoa and earth lead, followed by cedar, baker’s spice, and hints of espresso; pepper and cinnamon weave gently through the base
Middle third:
Raisin and floral sweetness emerge, undercut by rich cedar and spice; draw tightens slightly as body builds
Final third:
Black pepper and dried fruit linger, intensifying with cocoa and earth; finish echoes spice and tobacco richness
Construction is solid with a smooth draw and thick, aromatic smoke output; burn is mostly even with light touch-up needed occasionally
Viaticum embodies Privada's dedication to layered craftsmanship and mindful indulgence. It’s bold yet balanced, structured yet evolving—a cigar designed for reverence, not rush. It delivers a medium-full ritual that appeals to contemplative palates seeking heritage and depth.
