Privada Storytelling
Kickoff Red marks game day in cigar form—bold, strategic, and designed for performance. Crafted in partnership with Fonseca and released via LCA in September 2024, this Toro celebrates the thrill of the pre-game rush: focused energy, defined structure, and flawless execution. In Privada, we love cigars that capture moments with clarity—and Kickoff Red embodies that spirit.
Flavor Journey
From the first lighting, roasted coffee and cedar assert a purposeful start. A touch of leather and red pepper adds mid-smoke teeth and confidence. As the smoke warms, dark cherry and cocoa powder mellow the intensity, weaving through baking spice and mineral earth. The final third closes with a lingering blend of leather and spice, leaving a clean, energized finish—like that last snap before the whistle blows.
Why It Belongs in Privada

Privada curates moments just like game plans—and this release is one for the record book. With Fonseca precision and LCA exclusivity, this cigar stands out for its clarity and control.
