Privada Storytelling
A Chapter Written in Bold Tobacco
La Historia is the blend that declared E.P. Carrillo’s arrival on the cigar world stage. Built entirely from Nicaraguan leaf and housed in a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, this cigar is rich in flavor and history. It’s a structured powerhouse designed for experience, not effect.
The smoke opens in deep espresso and chocolate notes paired with robust cedar and leather. Midway through, roasted almond and baking spice emerge with caramel highlights. Pepper and earth deepen, while the finish settles into smoky sweetness and refined spice. La Historia is a smoke for collectors who respect narrative through tobacco.
Flavor Journey
The first third brings espresso roast, cedar bark, and dark chocolate
The second third layers leather depth, roasted nut, and warm spice
The final third closes in peppered earth, caramel sweetness, and tobacco-rich finish
Draw is firm and measured. Burn line stays sharp. Smoke remains rich, dense, and evolving in complexity throughout.
Why It Belongs in Privada
La Historia is Privada-worthy because it embodies legacy through leaf—not branding. It combines intensity, structure, and layered maturity in a way that lingers long after the ash is brushed off.
This cigar belongs in your humidor when you want flavor that speaks not just loudly, but meaningfully.
