    Privada Storytelling

    When Privada Cigar Club first released the Minnesota Fats back in September 2021, it was already a revelation—two years aged and brimming with promise. But what sits before you now is something even rarer: the same blend, aged an additional year and then finished for 90 days in freshly emptied Penelope bourbon barrels.

    This is not “barrel aged” in the loose way the industry has used the term. No fermentation tricks, no marketing sleight of hand. This is true barrel aging, where finished cigars rest inside real bourbon-soaked oak casks, constantly monitored for balance. It is risky, time-consuming, and nearly impossible to execute at scale—yet Privada has done it for 10,000 cigars, pushing boundaries that few would dare attempt.

    The result? A cigar that is equal parts indulgence and innovation. Think chocolate-dipped berries over charred oak, with vanilla cream smoke so rich it feels decadent. Minnesota Fats has gone from cult classic to cigar history in the making.


    Flavor Journey

    • First Third: Explodes with rich chocolate—layered, thick, and sweet. Artificial berry reminiscent of Cap’n Crunch Berries laces through, while oak and white pepper ground the profile. Creamy smoke delivers a silky texture, finishing with lemon zest and charred wood.

    • Second Third: The core flavors of chocolate, berry, and oak persist with remarkable consistency. Cinnamon slips in alongside creamier, heavier smoke. A lemon note pops in and out, keeping things bright. This is indulgence without compromise.

    • Final Third: Transitions to charred oak and dried dark fruits—cranberries, cherries—melding with cinnamon spice. Vanilla cream surges forward, accented by black pepper on the retrohale. A smooth, decadent close to an unforgettable smoking experience.


    Why It Belongs in Privada

    Minnesota Fats isn’t just a cigar—it’s a milestone. This project represents Privada’s commitment to redefining post-production aging, proving that cigar innovation doesn’t stop at rolling tables. We now have more barrel-aging experience than anyone outside of Europe’s historic cigar banks. Minnesota Fats belongs in Privada because it is a piece of living cigar history, a bold step forward in what’s possible when passion overrides convention.
