Privada Storytelling
The HVC Edición Especial 2015 Corona – Aged 10 Years is more than just a cigar. It's a time capsule. Rolled at TABSA and set aside before HVC fully cemented its boutique legend status, this Corona vitola represents a moment when Reinier Lorenzo was still blending from instinct—without expectations, without pressure. Ten years of aging has mellowed the strength but sharpened the elegance. The Corojo 99 wrapper has darkened, the flavors have married, and what remains is a cigar that whispers instead of shouts. In Privada, this cigar stands as a testament to patience. A gentle reminder that time can turn the ordinary into the irreplaceable.
Flavor Journey
-
First third: Opens with soft cedar, toasted almond, and floral vanilla. Hints of hay and white pepper create a balanced, aromatic start.
-
Mid-smoke: Complexity deepens with aged leather, sweet spice, and a touch of cane sugar. The retrohale is silky with warming cabinet spice.
-
Final third: Fades into honeyed cedar, nutmeg, and dried flowers. Elegant and contemplative all the way to the finish.
