Privada Storytelling
Nicoya's Robusto Medios is a tale of cross‑continental craftsmanship—a cigar born from Australian vision and executed in Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez’s team. Designed as a “medio” experience, it captures the heart of mid‑afternoon ritual: refined, approachable, and rooted in global collaboration. A brief, balanced smoke built on heritage and harmony.
Flavor Journey
-
Pre‑light & first third: Straight cut reveals wood, natural tobacco, and delicate floral notes on the cold draw. Lighting brings out cedar and pepper, with a natural tobacco backbone
-
Mid‑smoke: Cedar and wood lead while pepper and fruit sweetness rest in the background. Retrohale offers clean white pepper and cedar notes
-
Final third: Cedar maintains dominance. Pepper steps forward with subtle natural tobacco returning. Smoke ends cool and firm
Why It Belongs in Privada
The Robusto Medios is everything Privada prizes: global roots (Australia to Nicaragua), boutique execution under AJ, approachable yet evolving profile, and a well‑crafted, small‑batch spirit. It’s the kind of smoke that invites reflection, not rush—both soothing and subtly complex.
