Privada Storytelling
Fake Cuban #190 is Privada’s playful yet masterful nod to the legendary flavors of pre-revolution Cuban cigars—without the pretense. This cigar doesn’t try to be Cuban; it takes the magic of that profile—creamy cedar, balanced spice, and velvety sweetness—and reimagines it through the lens of boutique craftsmanship.
The name, Fake Cuban, speaks to its bold personality: a cigar confident enough to celebrate the past while creating its own identity. Aged tobaccos and expert rolling have resulted in a profile that’s classic, complex, and undeniably modern.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with roasted coffee, cedar, and a gentle wave of black pepper. The second third introduces cocoa powder, almond, and caramelized sugar, balanced by warm baking spices. The final third deepens into leather, cedar, and sweet espresso, leaving a smooth and lingering finish.
