Privada Storytelling
Legacy in Long Form
The Wingman is not just another entry in the Allegiance line. It’s a statement. This is Ernesto Perez-Carrillo operating at full volume, stretched over nearly seven inches of oily Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf. The construction is immaculate, the balance is deliberate, and the smoke is the kind that lingers with purpose.
From the first light, warm mocha and cedar spice announce themselves. Espresso and nutmeg follow closely, grounded by roasted walnut and just enough earthy bitterness to remind you this cigar has roots. Midway through, a surge of cocoa and toasted oak sharpens the edges, giving the experience structure without heaviness. The finish is long, creamy, and richly spiced.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with mocha, espresso, and cedar
The second third brings nutmeg, toasted walnut, and a hint of dry cocoa
The final third lingers in warm cinnamon, smooth leather, and subtle earth
Draw is smooth and full. Burn line stays even. Ash holds impressively. Smoke output is dense but refined.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This is craftsmanship in long form. A large-format cigar that doesn’t just take time, it earns it. It was made to accompany meaningful conversation or to be the conversation itself. For Privada members, it represents a collaboration of masters and a reminder that patience still means something.
It’s not just long. It’s lasting.
