Privada Storytelling
Brooklyn. Kings County. Home of Christopher Wallace—Biggie Smalls—the legend who defined an era of music and culture. This cigar was born from an idea by former Bad Boy Records executives who wanted to pay homage to Biggie in the most timeless way possible: with a cigar wrapped in one of the most iconic symbols of hip-hop, the Jesus Piece. The band alone is stunning, but the cigar beneath it might just be even better.
This is more than just a cigar; it’s an experience that bridges music, culture, and tobacco. While the factory remains a mystery, the craftsmanship leaves no doubt—a blend of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian tobaccos finished in a silky Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. And aged for over three years under Privada’s watchful eye, it has grown into one of the finest 60-ring gauge cigars ever to grace the club.
Biggie asked, “Who shot ya?” Privada answers with, “Who rolled ya?”—and while the blender may remain undisclosed, the artistry is undeniable. Kings County is a bold, cultural artifact, and one of the best gordos you’ll ever smoke.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Opens with saddle leather, barnyard earth, sesame seed, cocoa, and walnut. Retrohale delivers white pepper and baking cocoa. Sweet chocolate, dried mango, black cherry syrup, candied citrus, and toasted almond begin to shine. The smoke texture is creamy, like olive oil, with floral undertones and raspberry syrup emerging.
Second Third: Light cedar becomes the dominant wood note. Freeze-dried raspberry, sesame oil, olive oil creaminess, and delicate florals rise. Dark chocolate blends with rosemary and charred oak. Subtle savory notes—animal fat, roasted pork—interplay with almond and cocoa. Balanced sweetness and char anchor the progression.
Final Third: Ginger spice, candied ginger, delicate white florals, and layers of oak carry the finale. Retrohale sharpens with florals and charred wood. Smoke remains smooth, dense, and complex, closing with a refined balance of sweetness, tang, wood, and spice.
