Privada Storytelling
Precision in Power
Escopeta is the big brother to Deja el Drama and Timber and Blues—built for headline presence. Its oversized Gordo ring gauge and Corojo Oscuro Maduro wrapper deliver resonance, fullness, and narrative weight. Each cigar smokes large without compromise.
The opening draw lands with espresso and tobacco leather. Midway into the Gordo experience, black pepper spikes across bitter cocoa and cedar smoke. Sweet fig brightness and roasted walnut soften the smoke without diluting its power. The final act closes bold and balanced—tobacco structure won over flash.
This is strength shaped with intention.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with espresso, leather, and smoked cedar
The second third builds black pepper intensity over cocoa and toast
The final third finishes in fig brightness, walnut depth, and lingering tobacco heat
Draw is sturdy yet probing. Burn progresses evenly. Smoke is rich, aromatic, and dense—an endurance test in luxury flavor.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Escopeta belongs because it masterfully blends scale with elegance. It’s a celebration of Puerto Rican leaf elevated into commanding form. For collectors who value boldness grounded in character—this cigar makes the statement without shouting.
This is curated strength, plated in leaf.
