Privada Storytelling
A Nimble Ninfa with Bold Presence
The Ninfamaniac performs like a concerto in a compact format. Its slim, double‑perfecto design is an homage to the rare Ninfa while delivering a lush, rich performance far beyond its size. The Jalapa Sun‑Grown wrapper cloaks tropical intensity, while the Indonesian binder and Estelí filler orchestrate flavor depth, weaving mocha, black pepper, and earthy sweetness into a refined but lively narrative. It's ceremonial pocket‑size sophistication.
Flavor Journey
First third: Sharp mocha and espresso play alongside cedar and dark fruit, punctuated by warming pepper
Middle third: Mocha deepens with pastry-like caramel sweetness, cedar firming and pepper rising
Final third: Rich earth and campfire merge with sustained sweetness, lingering black pepper, and clean woody finish
Draw is close but smooth once lit; burn remains razor-sharp and even; smoke output steady and dense—the perfect balance for a compact yet layered session
Why It Belongs in Privada
This cigar delivers intense depth in a deceptively small package. It honors heritage while pushing boundaries—a Privada hallmark. Its craftsmanship, unique vitola, and flavor progression embody a slow-reveal experience for mindful, ceremonial moments. The Ninfamaniac is not casual—it demands presence in miniature.
