Bold Legacy, San Andrés Flavor
El Decano is the flagship of the New Wave series—a tribute cigar packed with tradition and intensity. While New Wave is known for wrapper-forward expression, this blend channels the metallic heat and weight of Broadleaf alongside deep Nicaraguan strength. It is a descendant of legacy leaf, elevated through precision.
From the first light, bold blackberry and espresso meld over a cedar backbone. Sweet fig and roasted almond rise into a firm leather and cracked pepper cœur. Midway, rich cocoa and spice deepen; the finish resolves with concentrated sweetness and tobacco oil. This is a cigar with heritage and heft.
The first third delivers espresso roast, dried fruit, and cedar spice
The second third reveals leather richness, cocoa sweetness, and roasted almond
The final third closes in cracked pepper, fig glaze, and lasting tobacco depth
Draw is firm but balanced. Burn line remains sharp. Smoke is dense, full-bodied, and flavorful from start to finish.
El Decano demands space in a humidor for good reason—it’s bold, rooted in classic leaf identity, yet crafted with today’s palate in mind. It belongs in Privada because it is uncompromisingly flavor-forward without losing structure or elegance. It sits at the intersection of heritage and precision.
For collectors looking for full-bodied craftsmanship with narrative and nuance—it’s one of our signature picks.
