Privada Storytelling
Cremo is one of America’s oldest cigar brands, with a history so deep it once sold sticks for just five cents — a price it held onto long into the 1990s. Today, the rebirth of Cremo is centered in Miami, where master-level Cuban rollers preserve traditions that reach back generations. While not as widely known as El Titan de Bronze, Cremo’s Miami factory represents a hidden gem of Cuban artistry, blending heritage with modern refinement.
The Cremo CT OM Aged 1 Year epitomizes this legacy. Aged in Privada’s vaults for twelve months, this cigar embodies the understated elegance of Connecticut-wrapped classics while layering in nuance and depth. It’s the pinnacle of American factory production — a cigar crafted not just to be smoked, but to stand as a living monument to a brand’s enduring commitment to excellence.
Flavor Journey
-
First Third: Opens with toasted almond, faint lemon, and sweet cedar. Creamy Connecticut character shines, softened by a subtle vegetal note that nods to its Cuban-style storage.
-
Second Third: Draw expands, producing richer smoke. Woody flavors intertwine with bourbon-like sweetness, lifted by hints of orange peel and a touch of red pepper spice on the retrohale.
-
Final Third: Focus narrows to wood, cream, and bourbon undertones, finishing mild yet complex, leaving a sophisticated and satisfying aftertaste.
