Step back into the streets of Miami and Tampa during the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Every morning, freshly arrived Cuban immigrants gathered in cafeterias—small neighborhood sanctuaries where life was simple: a steaming cup of café con leche, a slice of buttered bread, and an unbanded cigar in hand. These became known as Cafeteria Cigars, born not from marketing but from culture.
It was in these humble cafeterias that traditions were passed down, friendships forged, and dreams for a new life discussed through clouds of rich smoke. Brands we revere today, like Padrón, trace their roots to this era and this ritual. Cafeteria Cigars are a living time capsule—a chance to smoke what the working-class heroes of Cuban America lit up before hustling to build the lives and legacies we admire today.
With Cafeteria Cigars, Privada brings you back to that world: no labels, no pretense, just the timeless beauty of tobacco and community.
First Third: A creamy, smooth start often laced with cedar, toasted bread, and a touch of espresso. Connecticut Shade variations lean light and buttery, while Habano and Maduro options introduce cocoa and spice.
Second Third: Richer flavors of earth, cocoa powder, nuts, and herbs appear, with occasional bursts of sweetness reminiscent of café Cubano’s caramelized sugar. Maduro blends offer dark chocolate and molasses, while Habanos present pepper and roasted nuts.
Final Third: Complexity deepens into bold cedar, spice, and dark coffee. Some variations reveal leather, cinnamon, or herbal florals, leaving a rustic yet refined finish.
Because Privada is about story as much as smoke. Cafeteria Cigars aren’t just bundles—they’re relics of cigar culture in exile, a cornerstone of how modern cigar heritage evolved in the U.S. This release honors that legacy while giving members an affordable, nostalgic way to taste history. They remind us that greatness doesn’t always wear a band; sometimes it’s found in the most unassuming bundle wrapped in cellophane.
