Privada Storytelling
Jackdaw Connecticut is Blackbird’s approachable, yet flavorful invitation to shade-wrapper fans. Wrapped in silky Ecuadorian Connecticut and packed with a multi-region filler blend, this mild-to-medium smoke blends creamy sweetness, spice, and citrus subtlety. It’s crafted for everyday moments—morning reflection with coffee, deckside ease, or conversation under soft light. In the Privada collection, Jackdaw is the reliable, low-octane companion that still surprises you with character.
Flavor Journey
Jackdaw opens with gentle cream and toasted nuts, followed quickly by a delicate cedar sweetness and whisper of white pepper. Mid-smoke, a hint of citrus zest brightens the profile, mingling with soft tobacco and mild leather. The final third deepens the cream and brings a warming cedar-tinged sweetness. It’s consistent and comforting, avoiding flatness while remaining easygoing—a balanced morning-to-afternoon smoke.

Jackdaw checks both boxes—a well-made Connecticut with unexpected layers—from the Corojo 99 filler adding complexity, to Jonas Santana’s blend craft. It offers subtlety without surrendering flavor, making it perfect for daily enjoyment. It’s the smoke you’ll revisit week after week.
