Privada Storytelling

La Palina is a name steeped in heritage, stretching back more than 125 years. Founded by Bill Paley, whose father built the Columbia Broadcasting Service empire, La Palina represents a blend of legacy and passion. Bill Paley doesn’t need to be in the cigar game, but he chooses to be because of his unshakable love for the leaf. That passion has led him to partner with some of the most respected factories in the world, creating cigars that marry tradition with modern artistry.

The Bronze Label has long been a cult favorite, and at its peak, a Lancero size was released that shocked aficionados with its brilliance. For Privada, La Palina agreed to resurrect this unicorn in an exclusive form: the Bronze Age Edition. Dressed with a third band and crafted only for Privada members, this cigar bridges La Palina’s legacy with Privada’s reputation for uncovering and resurrecting legendary blends. It’s not just a cigar; it’s a living artifact of modern cigar folklore.

Flavor Journey

• First Third: Opens with tangy sourdough pretzel, dried peach, lemon zest, and oak, layered with vanilla sweetness and bursts of red pepper. Tonka bean and chocolate arrive in waves, leaving the palate both nostalgic and excited.

• Second Third: The profile softens into creamy textures, evoking the rind of a hard cheese and even brie-like nuances. Subtle dried thyme, oak, tonka bean, vanilla, and chocolate anchor the core. Lemon zest and apple flicker on the finish, joined by a cinnamon heat.

• Final Third: Bold flavors emerge—ginger spice, lemon, oak, leather, and black pepper, all balanced by cream, root beer sweetness, and vanilla. The retrohale pulses with spicy red pepper, carrying the blend to its crescendo.

Why It Belongs in Privada

The Bronze Age Edition represents Privada’s role as both curator and innovator. By bringing back the Lancero version of La Palina’s Bronze Label—an almost mythical release—we’ve not only revived an iconic cigar but also ensured its story continues in the most exclusive way possible. Available nowhere else, this cigar embodies Privada’s promise to deliver history, rarity, and culture in every release.
