Privada Storytelling
The Champagne Corona Aged 2 Years represents a new era of control and creativity at Privada. Born from a two-year collaboration with our newly co-owned La Fábrica de Helados in Estelí, this cigar proves what’s possible when vision, patience, and artistry converge. Much like Champagne itself, this cigar embodies celebration and refinement—crafted from tobaccos grown by the most respected farmers in Nicaragua and aged until every note reaches its peak.
What excites us most about Champagne Corona is that it captures the future of Privada: daring, precise, and guided not by tradition alone, but by intuition and bold experimentation. This corona may seem unassuming in size, but it delivers a regal presence. It’s the kind of cigar that shows how less can be more when the craftsmanship is impeccable.
Flavor Journey
-
First Third: Cocoa and cedar meet graham cracker sweetness, with milk chocolate creating a lush foundation. A subtle tang and spice lift the opening, making the cigar both lively and comforting.
-
Second Third: The complexity grows with a harmony of wood, nuts, baking spices, and a bright fruit twang. Retrohaling reveals dried fruit layered over red pepper, with cream and cedar smoothing the edges.
-
Final Third: The finale crescendos with notes of brandy barrel oak, ginger spice, cinnamon, and red pepper. Creamy smoke, dried fruits, and cedar linger on the palate, delivering a finish worthy of the Champagne name.
