Privada Storytelling
Cuban Soul, Nicaraguan Ground
Designed as a tribute to El Cerro in Havana, this Corojo puro plays like a bridge: Cuban-inspired structure carried forward by Nicaraguan depth. It opens with pepper and earth, then deepens into sweetness and cream, finishing with toast and spice clarity. It’s both a nod to tradition and a charted step forward—quietly confident and purpose-built.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Pepper and cedar stand strong, joined by roasted nuts and earthy undertones
Middle Third: Floral and almond notes emerge, with cocoa and toast weaving through the body
Final Third: Citrus sweetness and graham-cracker nuance linger alongside spicy cedar and light earth
The smoke builds naturally—smooth, even, with a sharp but clean burn and consistent ash
Why It Belongs in Privada

The Corojo wrapper and Cuban-seed filler offer soulful character, while draft and finish remain polished. It’s a smoke for those who appreciate nuance over noise, tradition wrapped in modern integrity.
