Privada Storytelling
Small Bird, Big Statement
Named for the nimble desert songbird, Cactus Wren packs notable depth into a subtle profile. The dark wrapper brings richness, while the Nicaraguan core delivers a mature, layered experience. It doesn't shout—it sings. Earth and dark fruit open, evolving into cedar and creamy espresso, and finishing on gentle spice. It’s a compact yet thoughtful experience.
