The Junito Aged 4 Years is a cigar that bridges tradition with rebellion, born from a story as unconventional as the band it wears. Originally crafted for a wealthy Spaniard’s high-profile brand, the wrapper leaf’s slightly dry appearance led to its rejection. Yet here, in the Privada vaults, perfection is not judged by vanity but by essence. This cigar was saved, aged for four years, and reborn with bands that nod to Cuban heritage while showcasing original Privada characters—like a toothy Popeye-inspired figure in gold—our playful response to industry critics.
This is Costa Rican craftsmanship at its peak, delivering a Cuban-style smoking experience that feels both nostalgic and disruptive. Junito is not just another cigar—it’s an ongoing conversation between old-world tradition and new-world creativity.
First Third: Opens with a curious, almost provocative note of fermenting peaches, layered with cedar and nutty peach pit. Creamy smoke reveals florals, charred cedar, and apricot jam, with a retrohale of sharp red pepper.
Second Third: The core evolves into oak and cream, balanced with bright apricot and cedar. A tangy sweetness develops, pushing toward strawberries and raspberries. Black pepper adds intrigue while the cigar mirrors the zingy vibrance of classic Cuban Habanos.
Final Third: Sea salt and pepper join the profile, with a touch of lemon juice acidity that heightens the smoke’s finish. The finale is clean, bright, and refreshing—elevating its Habano-like sharpness into a connoisseur’s delight.
Junito is a perfect example of how Privada elevates cigars beyond superficial standards. Where others saw flaws, we saw potential—and through time and patience, this blend became a masterpiece. It embodies the Privada ethos: daring to push past the expected, preserving authenticity, and celebrating the stories hidden in every cigar. With Cuban-style elegance and Privada’s bold creative spin, Junito belongs in the hands of collectors who appreciate risk, rarity, and reward.
