Privada Storytelling
Privada Fest Budapest wasn’t just a gathering, it was a declaration. High on a hillside in Buda, overlooking the timeless city of Pest, cigar lovers from every corner of Europe came together under a golden August sun. Spirits were flowing, laughter echoed through the air, and the bond over the leaf was unshakable.
This Churchill was the centerpiece of it all. Crafted by none other than AJ Fernandez at the famed Tabacalera Annex, this cigar was conceived in secrecy, smuggled into Budapest, and unveiled in a moment of rebellious celebration. Only one thousand were reserved for my most trusted members. It’s not just a cigar, it’s a ticket back to that hillside, where passion met heritage and where Privada once again redefined what it means to belong to something greater than yourself.
Flavor Journey
From the first draw, waves of cedar and earth set the stage, quickly layered with roasted coffee and creamy almond. The Churchill size allows the flavors to unfold like a story: leather enters midway, a refined spice lingers, and as the cigar develops, subtle sweetness balances the power. Two years of aging have softened its edges, creating a rounded, harmonious profile that showcases AJ’s artistry at its peak.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This is not just another Churchill—it’s a moment in history immortalized in leaf. Exclusively made for Privada, aged to perfection, and tied forever to one of the most unforgettable gatherings in our club’s history. Owning and smoking this cigar places you in the lineage of Privada’s most daring moments, from rebellion to celebration, from smuggling into Budapest to lighting up together across the world.
