Privada Storytelling
The HVC 500 Aniversario Salomón is celebration personified—crafted to mark centuries of tobacco tradition and storytelling. Named to honor a milestone, this Salomón shape carries weight both in size and significance. Its sleek taper and generous belly are a nod to craftsmanship, while the deep Maduro wrapper hints at the depth inside.
It’s the cigar of ceremonial moments: naming ceremonies, landmark decisions, or the quiet satisfaction of a job well done. You don’t light this at random—you reserve it for specific memories. You let it rest beside crystal and wood; you treat it like part of the event. The experience is meant to be savored slowly, like each moment of life it commemorates.
In Privada’s world, this cigar maps precisely to ritual and gravitas. It isn’t here to entertain or comfort—it’s here to mark significance. A milestone in your rotation deserves a cigar that’s built on tradition and polished by artistry. This Salomón delivers that.
