Privada Storytelling
A mythic echo in tobacco
Sable Shamash channels the fire god’s radiance through its mid‑ring presence. Rolled in Costa Rica with age‑cultivated tobaccos, this Toro stands as a bridge between heritage and innovation. A smoky core of nougat and toasted almond gives way to pepper and sweetness. As it smolders, layers of dried berry, leather, and earth weave together, offering a contemplative ritual in every draw.
This is not just a cigar—it’s a narrative of ancient strength and refined evolution.
