Privada Storytelling
La Promesa means “The Promise”—and this cigar is Don Pepin’s tribute to a vow he made long before the factories, the accolades, and the name on bands around the world. It’s the story of a man who left Cuba with nothing but his talent and a dream. This blend isn’t just about honoring that journey—it’s the product of it. In Privada, we gravitate toward cigars that carry weight beyond their blend sheets. La Promesa is not just a promise fulfilled—it’s a victory in smoke.
Flavor Journey
It opens with leather and black pepper, grounding the profile in boldness. Cocoa and dark cherry soon emerge, adding a rich, sweet tang that keeps things lively. By the second third, cinnamon, cedar, and floral spice balance against earth and roasted tobacco. A touch of burnt sugar creeps into the retrohale. The finish brings sweet wood, dried cherry skin, and a soft, peppery fade that lingers long and clean. Each puff is a reminder that elegance and fire can live in the same breath.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Because this cigar was made from gratitude—and you can taste it. La Promesa is a personal statement from one of the greatest living cigar makers. It’s a blend that reaches back to his roots while showcasing how far he’s come. In Privada, we don’t just chase rare—we chase meaning. This cigar has both. It’s a promise delivered with every draw, from farm to factory to flame.
