The Flathead Sparkplug isn’t just named after a car part—it hits like one. Short, square, and packed with torque, this cigar was built for gearheads and grinders alike. With its box-pressed muscle car aesthetic and dark, oily Broadleaf wrapper, it’s all attitude and no pretense. For Privada, this cigar captures a specific kind of American grit—where garages smell like oil, blues riffs echo off the walls, and smoke curls past a grease-stained toolbox. It's a cigar that doesn’t beg for attention—it earns it with every draw.
It launches with a powerful combo of black pepper and espresso, quickly settling into a rich base of charred oak and dark chocolate. Midway through, molasses and leather start to round out the profile, with smoky walnut and burnt sugar teasing the retrohale. Earthiness builds toward the final third, bringing cocoa powder and dry spice to the forefront. The short length intensifies the ride—no filler, just fire. Bold, unapologetic, and tuned for punch.
Because the V450 Sparkplug proves that big flavor can come in small, squared-up packages. It’s a lesson in compression—of form, combustion, and power. In Privada, we recognize cigars that break the rules with intention. This one does it while revving the engine and laying rubber. It’s Broadleaf bravado, custom-tuned and box-pressed for battle.
