Privada Storytelling
The Rojas Bluebonnets is a story that has been waiting patiently to be told. Over three years ago, Noel Rojas himself arrived at my house with 10,000 Bluebonnets and 10,000 KSG Reds, both rolled exclusively for Privada in this elegant Lonsdale vitola. While the Red has since made its way into other humidors and even received a stellar 92 rating, the Bluebonnets remained in our coolers—resting, evolving, and waiting for the right moment.
For over two years, Noel asked me monthly when I would release them. And each time, I held them back. Why? Because at Privada, we do not just release cigars—we perfect them. We age, monitor, and nurture them with the same care that collectors give to their most prized bottles of wine or whiskey. The result is not just a cigar but a piece of time itself, transformed by patience into something extraordinary.
This is more than a cigar—it’s a testament to friendship, to craftsmanship, and to Privada’s role as the leader in post-production cigar aging. When you light a Bluebonnet, you’re tasting years of quiet anticipation and the artistry of one of the fastest-rising stars in the industry.
Flavor Journey
-
First Third: Toasted sesame seed, creamy oak, golden cereal grain, and Italian herbs with a delicate dried peach on the finish. Retrohale delivers black pepper, dried currant, and oak.
-
Second Third: Oak takes the lead, joined by semi-sweet apricot jam, white toast, minerality, and white pepper. The retrohale bursts with blackberry and pepper, gradually maturing into a fruit-forward richness.
-
Final Third: Raspberry, butterscotch, wheat toast, lemon candy, and black tea with honey make for an indulgent, balanced finish. Retrohale shifts to powdery white pepper with lemon-zinger brightness over oak.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This cigar is history in the making. Born from the hands of Noel Rojas and aged for over three years under the Privada Method, the Bluebonnets are a masterclass in balance, patience, and flavor transformation. It’s an exclusive size, an exclusive story, and one of those rare cigars that remind you why Privada exists—to provide experiences you simply cannot get anywhere else.
