Privada Storytelling
Born from La Sirena’s 2019 Aniversario Especial collaboration in Mexico, Mexican Mermaid became a regular line in late 2021. It brings true Mexican leaf to a Dominican-made cigar, bridging cultures and crafts. Rolled in Tabacalera La Isla, it’s a tribute to heritage and innovation, a mermaid echoing old-world tobacco tales with modern finesse.
Flavor Journey
First third: Opens with bold pepper and cocoa, balanced by cedar and earth. Retrohale delivers red pepper and coffee warmth.
Mid-smoke: Mocha-sweet coffee deepens, with brown sugar, toasted nuts, coffee, and oak. Pepper softens slightly, while citrus and mineral notes emerge.
Final third: Earth and leather hold the base, while campfire char, cocoa, and lingering pepper close the experience. Finish grows sweeter with burnt honey and citrus linger.
Why It Belongs in Privada
With a rare Mexican tobacco identity, dual-country craftsmanship, and a capacity for complexity across formats, this cigar exemplifies boutique depth. It’s a cultured expression rooted in lineage—a perfect Privada match.
