Privada Storytelling
The Good Life Revamped Bourbon Barrel Aged was born in the shadow of industry upheaval. During the chaos of the PCA convention and the rivalries that surrounded it, Privada Cigar Club carved out a space for resilience and innovation. Despite pressures from industry titans and the weight of cease-and-desist letters, Privada pressed forward — unafraid, unapologetic, and unwilling to be silenced.
Crafted in the Dominican Republic, this cigar was aged for 60+ days in authentic bourbon barrels sourced from the famed MGP Distillery, bridging two worlds: the artistry of tobacco and the richness of bourbon. Its debut alongside Privada’s own bourbon release at Privadacon marked a moment where tradition met bold experimentation. This cigar is not only about flavor; it is a declaration of Privada’s enduring independence.
