Privada Storytelling
Soft Strength in Emerald-toned Leaf
Undercrown Shade pays homage to floral and grassy wrapper traditions. Built under the same mantra as its Maduro sibling it brings fresh Connecticut Shade leaf to a robust filler core. The result is medium-bodied, refined, herbaceous and balanced.
This cigar opens creamy and mild with notes of cedar and toasted nuts. Mid way through it reveals a whisper of hay sweetness, subtle vanilla, and soft spice. The final phase transitions into light coffee and soft earth notes. The finish is clean, fragrant and lightly sweet.
Flavor Journey
The first third offers cream, soft cedar, almond and hay sweetness
The second third deepens into vanilla, mild spice, and herbal floral tones
The final third settles into toasted grain, gentle coffee notes and a lingering sweet earth impression
Burn stays clean and even. Draw opens well without looseness. Smoke output is creamy and aromatic throughout.
