Privada Storytelling
The Padrón Black No. 99 represents the heart of Padrón’s legacy — deep, dark, and uncompromising. Built entirely from sun-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos aged for years before rolling, this cigar is as rich as it is refined. The Black series was created to express the fullest form of Padrón’s signature flavor — a combination of raw strength and patient artistry that only this family can deliver.
Every draw feels like a direct link to Padrón’s heritage: powerful Nicaraguan soil, time-honored aging, and the unmistakable aroma that defines their Maduro leaf. The No. 99 Toro showcases the perfect proportions for complexity and structure — dense, aromatic, and unapologetically Padrón.
Flavor Journey
The cigar opens with waves of espresso, black pepper, and cocoa. As it warms, cedar and leather form a deep, earthy foundation, enriched by molasses and spice. Midway, dark chocolate and raisin sweetness appear, rounding the intensity. In the final third, espresso and pepper return for a full-bodied crescendo that finishes long and clean.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada is built on rarity and reverence — and few cigars embody those values like Padrón Black. It’s a cigar made not for mass appeal, but for those who appreciate meticulous craft and bold elegance. The No. 99 belongs in Privada because it is one of the clearest expressions of Nicaraguan perfection — the kind of cigar that defines what it means to be timeless.
