Privada Storytelling
Legacy rekindled with bold Nicaraguan heritage
El Baton returns from its 1914 origins, reborn as a potent Nicaraguan puro. Rolled at the PENSA factory, this cigar blends Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers. The result is a robust, savory smoke with depth and complexity. It opens with cocoa and cedar, building into walnut and earth before finishing with spice and leather—a smoke meant for deep appreciation.
This edition brings tradition and temperament together in a flavorful narrative.
