Privada Storytelling
The Massacre Cigar is a story rolled in leaf, a visceral reminder that tobacco’s journey from seed to smoke is never without struggle. Its very name calls back to the turbulent history of Estelí — a region shaped not only by soil and sunlight, but by conflict, resilience, and rebirth.
Crafted with an all-Nicaraguan blend draped in a bold Habano wrapper, the Massacre is unapologetically full of character. This cigar doesn’t whisper, it declares. Each draw pays homage to the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom, tradition, and artistry. It’s not just a cigar; it’s a monument in smoke.
Flavor Journey
The cigar opens with a firm handshake of black pepper and earth, quickly supported by cedar and espresso. In the mid-section, roasted nuts and a savory mineral quality emerge, balancing strength with texture. The final third builds to dark chocolate and spice, with a lingering sweetness that tempers the intensity, leaving a finish both bold and memorable.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada seeks cigars that embody more than flavor — cigars that tell stories of people, places, and perseverance. The Massacre Cigar belongs here because it embodies history, grit, and survival, while delivering an elevated smoking experience worthy of collectors and enthusiasts alike.
