Privada Storytelling
Unearthed from Chico Rivas’s private stash in Tamboril, this Dominican puro has been resting for seven years. Wrapped in Cibao Valley Corojo with classic Dominican binder and fillers, the experience begins with freeze-dried blueberry on the body and marshmallow cream on the cold draw, quickly swirling into a bowl of whimsical cereal nostalgia. Blueberry jam, cereal milk, graham cracker, strawberry cream, and bakery spice dance across the palate like a Saturday cartoon turned into smoke. It is playful, fun, deliciously Dominican, and crafted with the kind of detail only Chico Rivas can deliver.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Freeze-dried blueberry body, sweet cereal grains on the foot, cold draw of marshmallow cream and berry candy.
Second Third: Blueberry jam thickens, cereal milk meets graham cracker and oat notes. Retrohale becomes strawberry cream with cinnamon sugar.
Final Third: Toastier, richer, berry syrup over charred oak, vanilla marshmallow rising beneath faint clove. Retrohale shifts to cocoa dust and candied berry.
Why It Belongs in Privada
