Privada Storytelling
Fuego is flavor. Fuego is art. Fuego is heat.
Born from Nicaragua’s volcanic soils and sparked by the imagination of Australian pop mash artist Aaron Craig, Fuego is where craftsmanship and creativity collide. This is more than a cigar — it’s an idea lit aflame. AJ Fernández, the legendary master of tobacco, crafted this blend at his Tabacalera Annex, building it entirely from his own Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos.
Wrapped in silky Connecticut Shade and box-pressed to perfection, Fuego carries both refinement and fire. It’s smooth enough for newcomers yet layered enough to captivate the seasoned aficionado. And like Craig’s artwork, it refuses to sit quietly — every puff feels alive, daring you to taste something new.
Flavor Journey
From the first spark, creamy vanilla and toasted almond set the stage. Red pepper flickers through, adding energy without overwhelming. Midway, citrus peel brightens the profile, dancing alongside warm cedar. By the final third, the flavors converge into a balanced crescendo: sweet, spicy, nutty, and undeniably smooth. Fuego lives up to its name with a profile that’s both bold and approachable.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada exists to bring together culture, creativity, and craftsmanship — and Fuego is the embodiment of all three. A blend perfected by AJ, presented through the lens of a contemporary artist, and finished with collector’s flair, it is both a cigar and an event. Fuego stands as proof that cigars can be equal parts tradition and rebellion, luxury and play.
