Privada Storytelling
The Jopito is a true testament to Privada’s mission: bringing the rare and the unexpected into the hands of members who crave discovery. Wrapped in the legendary African Cameroon leaf, Jopito carries the exotic history of Cameroon’s volcanic soils, where the wrapper’s natural sweetness and spice have fascinated cigar makers for generations.
Built on a backbone of Dominican binder and filler, the cigar is balanced, refined, and elegant, with a classic corona size that delivers flavor with precision. Jopito is not just a cigar—it’s an intimate conversation between continents: Africa’s wild spice meeting the Dominican Republic’s soulful smoothness. Its name, whispered like a nickname or an inside joke, makes it feel like a secret passed between friends.
