Privada Storytelling
The Red Meat Lovers Club was built on indulgence: hearty meals, fine drinks, and cigars to match. Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust took that ethos and rolled it into leaf, creating the Red Meat Lovers series. The Filet Mignon vitola—compact yet thick—embodies that balance of luxury and power.
This is a cigar meant for the table. Imagine the sizzle of a cast-iron skillet, the aroma of steak resting before the first slice. The Filet Mignon captures that moment in cigar form: rich, savory, and unforgettable. It’s the smoke you light when the plates are cleared but the conversation is just beginning, when indulgence calls for one last expression of flavor.
Flavor Journey
The first draws deliver dark chocolate, espresso, and charred oak, setting a robust foundation. Quickly, black pepper and leather emerge, followed by a unique umami note that feels like a nod to perfectly seared steak. Midway, molasses sweetness softens the profile, weaving through the savory and smoky core. The final third is bold and lingering, a crescendo of earth, cocoa, and char that mirrors the satisfaction of the meal it was built to accompany.
Why It Belongs in Privada
The Red Meat Lovers Filet Mignon is a cigar with a purpose. It was never meant to be generic—it was designed to pair with food, to extend an experience, to live in the overlap between culinary indulgence and cigar craft. Privada members seek cigars that elevate moments, and this release does exactly that. It’s a Steve Saka creation with both story and substance, destined to become a humidor favorite.
