Privada Storytelling
Time as the Blending Partner
The Solara series isn’t about flash—it’s about patience. Each vintage is defined by the age of its tobacco, not flashy packaging. Whether 15, 18, or 21 years, these are cigars where time whispers flavor: deep wood notes, creamy nuts, and balanced spice, all anchored by that aged tobacco character. It’s a contemplative smoke meant for moments worth savoring.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Soft cedar and cream emerge with light baking spice and nutty sweetness
Middle Third: Almonds, cashews, leather, and espresso deepen the profile, while a fine salt‑mineral edge adds depth
Final Third: Toasted bread, cocoa, and subtle oak close it out—clean, med‑full body, with lingering warmth
