Privada Storytelling
The CLE PCA Exclusive 2025 is a celebration piece — a cigar crafted specifically for the 2025 PCA trade show and limited to retailers who placed orders that week. The blend is part of a trio of toros (all 6 × 52) using the same internal core, but distinguished by three different wrapper origins (Cameroon, Honduras, Mexico) for subtle variation.
As a member-exclusive listing at Privada, this cigar offers not just flavor, but history — a once-a-year release that engages the collector’s mindset and rewards the aficionado who looks beyond everyday production.
Flavor Journey
The smoke opens with rich cedar and coffee-bean intensity. As the burn develops, warm spice (black pepper, nutmeg) emerges, while a deep underlying sweetness unfolds—think dark caramel or brown sugar. The final third brings layered complexity: earth, subtle chocolate, and a dry finish that lingers long and clean.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada seeks rare cigars with story, craft and collectible value. The CLE PCA Exclusive 2025 hits all three: a limited-run trade show only cigar, a rich profile built for aging, and a format (6 × 52) well suited to exploration in the humidor. For those members who want something off-the-chart yet still rooted in excellence, this release delivers.
