Privada Storytelling
Few places embody tradition and artistry like El Titan de Bronze in Miami’s Little Havana. Owned by Sandy Cobas, this boutique factory is legendary for employing only level 9 Cuban rollers, ensuring every cigar reflects the techniques and elegance of true Cuban tradition. Triple caps, Cuban-style construction, meticulous handwork—El Titan is as much a cultural treasure as it is a factory.
The Sumatra Lancero LE is a testament to what happens when tradition meets daring choice. Sumatra has long been considered an underrated wrapper, capable of delivering a refined, aromatic smoke. Rolled with painstaking care and aged for over four years under Privada’s stewardship, this cigar is delicate yet bold, floral yet spiced, balanced yet expressive.
The fact that El Titan de Bronze remains the most expensive factory in the U.S. to produce cigars makes this release even more special. It’s a true luxury experience, crafted in the heart of Miami but steeped in global tradition. Every puff is both a celebration of heritage and an affirmation of why Privada exists: to give members access to the best of the best.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Opens with a bouquet of florals, cedar, and oak. Salt and pepper season the palate while the retrohale introduces dried fruits and red pepper. Smoke is powdery and clean, finishing with herbal root notes.
Second Third: Creamier textures arrive with buttery richness. Cedar and florals intertwine with sarsaparilla root and cinnamon. Retrohale becomes sugary and floral, with vanilla and almond adding subtle sweetness. The smoke feels effervescent, almost soda-like, elevating the experience.
Final Third: Cinnamon and sarsaparilla carry through, joined by florals and oak. Retrohale smooths into oaky spice with hints of sweetness, while the smoke melds into a harmonious climax of flowers, wood, and gentle spice. Balanced, ethereal, and deeply satisfying.
Why It Belongs in Privada
El Titan de Bronze is where heritage lives. Producing cigars here costs double or triple compared to factories abroad, which is why so few attempt it. But Privada members demand more than convenience—they demand history, artistry, and perfection. The Sumatra Lancero LE embodies that ethos, marrying Cuban tradition with Privada’s aging philosophy. With over four years of rest, it is not just a cigar; it is an experience of rarity, heritage, and patience.
