Privada Storytelling
Soul of fire tempered with refinement
Alma del Fuego captures volcanic terroir in smoke form. Rolled with sun‑grown Jalapa wrapper and aged Ometepe binder and filler, it balances heat and sweetness. First draws offer espresso and roasted nuts, segueing into citrus-laced wood and guava undertones. As flavors deepen, leather, earth, and oak emerge, rounded by a peppery yet balanced finish. A celebration of aged Nicaraguan craftsmanship.
