Privada Storytelling
Maduro Depth Meets Serie V Precision
The Serie V Melanio Maduro is the bold sibling to the classic Melanio. The Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper brings extra darkness and density to an already refined Nicaraguan profile. It’s the kind of cigar built for slow moments and rich reflection.
From the first light you’re steeped in espresso and leather, framed by cedar and pepper. As the cigar warms, layers of nutty sweetness, toasted oak, and dark chocolate build. By the final third a warming spice and tobacco caramel finish the experience, leaving a lingering smoky bolt of flavor.
Flavor Journey
The first third delivers espresso, heavy leather, and peppery cedar
The second third evolves into toasted nuts, deep chocolate, and subtle caramel
The final third closes with black pepper spice, oak warmth, and a smooth long finish
Draw is firm and satisfying. Burn is steady with solid ash. Smoke is full‑bodied, oily, and complex throughout.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This is rich artistry wrapped in discipline. The Melanio Maduro doesn’t invite—it commands presence. It belongs in Privada collections because it combines the best of power and polish, heritage and execution.
It’s for the collector who wants depth and nuance in one structured, layered stick.
