Privada Storytelling
The Halloween season has always been fertile ground for Privada storytelling, and Naked Booth Trick-or-Treat may be one of the most theatrical of them all. Matt Booth returned to Joya de Nicaragua, the factory that helped bring the Death Bucket 2 to life, and asked for something twisted, playful, and seasonal. His answer? The same base blend, only reimagined with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and in his preferred 6×46 vitola—a size he calls perfect for fall nights.
The band and concept leaned into the outrageous: Naked Booth himself, clad in a leopard thong and cape, reminding us that while the cigar industry carries itself seriously, it should never lose its humor or creativity. Underneath the costume, however, is a serious cigar. This is Booth’s artistry fused with Joya’s craft, refined over more than four years of Privada-controlled aging. A blend equal parts funky, nutty, spicy, and earthy—designed to shock and satisfy in equal measure.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Opens with wood, bread, dried fruit, leather, and hay. A nut medley of chestnut, roasted hazelnut, and hickory emerges quickly. Retrohale delivers funky cedar, dried fruit, white pepper, musty earth, and a kiss of butterscotch sweetness. Cocoa and horseradish sauce sneak in, joined by pecan, brown sugar, cedar, and fresh tarragon.
Second Third: The horseradish expands, joined by dry mustard spice, musty almond, mulchy earth, mushroom notes, and dried figs. Retrohale sharpens into musty cedar and wasabi heat, shocking yet refined.
Final Third: Sweetness builds—caramel, candied almonds, candied orange rind, brown sugar. Tangy Worcestershire umami and sautéed vegetables emerge, finishing with pine, applewood, roasted chestnut, citrus zest, and a return of horseradish minerality. Complex, funky, and utterly addictive—you’ll smoke it to the nub.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada thrives on turning cigars into experiences, and Naked Booth Trick-or-Treat is exactly that. Equal parts theater, artistry, and aged refinement, it captures the playful irreverence of Matt Booth while delivering a flavor performance only time and patience could unlock. This is not a cigar for the masses—it’s a collector’s Halloween piece, proof of why Privada curates what others won’t.
