Cuco Criollo is Blackbird’s flavorful nod to the Brazilian Criollo wrapper—bold yet balanced, familiar yet intriguing. With its Indonesian binder and Dominican filler, this smoke bridges continents in a chewable, approachable smoke. It's the kind of stick you revisit because it hits comfort notes but with a twist. In Privada’s lineup, Cuco is the daily wildcard: deep enough to reward interest, smooth enough for regular rotation.
From the moment it’s lit, Cuco presents a silky blend of semi-sweet chocolate and cedar, layered over a mild burst of black pepper. As the smoke progresses, baking spice—especially a touch of cinnamon—edges forward, intertwining with creamy coffee and subtle earth tones. In the midsection, the chocolate deepens into a milk-chocolate mocha, supported by a woody backbone. By the final third, a whisper of dried apricot sweetness appears, tempering the spice and leading to a softly lingering finish of earth and cocoa. It’s a medium-bodied journey that remains balanced and engaging throughout.
Cuco Criollo embodies Privada’s ethos: heritage, craftsmanship, and charm, without arrogant complexity. Its Brazilian Criollo wrapper is a rare twist on a Dominican blend, and the smoke remains accessible enough for everyday enjoyment. It’s a character-filled workhorse—something you’ll turn to morning after morning and still discover little surprises.
