Privada Storytelling
There are cigars for beginnings, and there are cigars for endings. El Fin, meaning The End, was created by master blender Chico Rivas as the ultimate closing act—a cigar designed to put the period at the end of the sentence, the exclamation mark at the end of your evening.
Rolled as a slender 5×36 Petite Panetela, El Fin is deceptive. Its small size suggests subtlety, but its intensity is explosive. This is not a cigar to light in the morning, nor something to open your day with. El Fin was built for the end—when the night is winding down, when your palate has been tested and stretched, and only something bold, unapologetic, and unforgettable will do.
Aged 3 full years to soften its edges and harmonize its tobaccos, El Fin delivers exactly what its name promises: closure, satisfaction, and a final crescendo.
Flavor Journey
-
First Third: Opens with a rush of spice and charred oak, quickly joined by bitter chocolate and a hint of espresso. Despite its size, the smoke output is rich and concentrated.
-
Second Third: Leather, earthy minerality, and pepper coat the palate. Notes of dark roasted coffee and burnt sugar develop, adding depth and sharpness.
-
Final Third: Finishes with intensity—oak, espresso, cocoa, and spice all converge in a final, palate-coating flourish. A cigar that insists on being remembered.
Why It Belongs in Privada
El Fin is not just another cigar—it’s a ritual. Chico Rivas crafted it for those who demand a true finale, a statement piece to cap off an evening of indulgence. In the Privada tradition of offering cigars that fit precise moods and moments, this is the one cigar designed specifically for the end of the night.
