Privada Storytelling
Crafted in collaboration with The Cigar Culture, The Hawk is a symbol of clarity, sharp vision, and calculated movement. This limited edition from Blackbird Cigar Co. is more than a cigar—it’s a cultural statement wrapped in Brazilian Cubra and laced with meaning. The bright yellow band isn’t just packaging; it’s presence. This is a smoke for those who recognize the value of vision, identity, and flavor in perfect balance.
Only 600 boxes were released, making this a true collector’s item. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, it’s a blend meant to fly high—built for those moments when you rise above the noise and light up with purpose.
Flavor Journey
First third: Opens with dark chocolate and cedar. Black pepper hits early on the retrohale, followed by a slight citrus sweetness and powdered cocoa across the palate.
Mid-smoke: Creamy texture develops. Salted nuts and barnyard tones emerge. A subtle tanginess and light cherry note play in the background, adding dimension.
Final third: Baking spice and campfire warmth finish the profile. Black pepper returns alongside toasted wood and a soft citrus flicker. Finish is long, balanced, and slightly earthy.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This is exactly the kind of collaboration Privada was built for—artful, bold, limited. The Hawk unites style and substance, with a rare wrapper and a flavor arc that surprises even seasoned smokers. It’s boutique in origin, cultural in voice, and flavorful in every puff. A standout from two of the most exciting names in cigars today.
