Noel Rojas has always lived cigars with authenticity. Born in Cuba, he spent time in a Cuban prison before emigrating and reshaping his destiny on the free side of communism. He’s worked the fields, studied with legends, and mastered the art of Nicaraguan tobacco. His name now echoes throughout the boutique cigar world as a master blender and a man deeply connected to the roots of the leaf.
The story of Peruvian Gold began years ago when Noel heard a tale from an old Cuban grower: cigar tobacco, they claimed, was first cultivated in Peru, then carried up the Amazon and across the Caribbean to Cuba. When Rojas had the chance to see Peruvian tobacco with his own eyes, he didn’t hesitate. Meeting an Italian landowner whose farm once supplied Zino Davidoff, Noel struck a deal to secure a lot of Peruvian leaf every year for a decade.
When he first rolled the blend that would become Peruvian Gold, Noel told me, “This is only for me. I do not sell it.” But with persistence, he agreed to share this treasure with Privada. After more than five years of aging, this cigar has become his signature smoke—his story, his heritage, and his art rolled into one.
First Third: Opens gently with oak, honey, vanilla, black and white pepper, and sandalwood. Bourbon barrel character rises in the background, with faint cinnamon adding sweetness. Retrohale is lively with charred wood and spice.
Second Third: Flavors sweeten with confectioner’s sugar, fried dough, honeysuckle, and caramelized cinnamon. The profile becomes creamy, like churro dust mingled with florals. Smoke is thick and voluminous, carrying bourbon and oak notes throughout.
Final Third: The cigar crescendos into concentrated richness—sugars, oak, florals, cinnamon, and umami depth fusing together. Apricot-like fruit notes mingle with charred wood, leaving a long, indulgent finish reminiscent of aged bourbon and vanilla custard.
The Peruvian Gold is more than a cigar—it’s history reborn. It represents a forgotten origin of tobacco, a sacred leaf rediscovered, and a master blender’s personal secret shared with our community. No one else in the world has access to this cigar, and Noel Rojas himself once swore he would never sell it. Yet here it is, aged for over five years and offered only to Privada members. This is what makes Privada different—we uncover treasures meant for no one but legends themselves.
