Privada Storytelling
The Farce Connecticut is Matt Booth’s way of playing with expectations—and absolutely nailing the punchline. What looks like a mellow, mild-mannered Connecticut turns out to be a layered, luxurious, and cheekily subversive blend that smokes like it knows exactly what it’s doing. Room101 has always lived at the intersection of punk and poetry, and this cigar proves it. In Privada, we love cigars that take the traditional and flip it—without disrespecting the roots. This isn’t just a lighter cigar. It’s a full-on mood with a velvet glove and a middle finger in its pocket.
Flavor Journey
From the start, you get a rush of vanilla cream and citrus peel over a base of toasted hay and cedar. As the burn deepens, white pepper and buttered toast rise to the surface, followed by floral tea and a gentle cashew sweetness. The middle section brings a marshmallow softness with a nougat finish, while just enough spice lingers to keep things interesting. The final third glows with complexity—think shortbread, toasted grain, and a barely-there mineral snap on the retrohale. Light in strength, rich in experience.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Because the Farce Connecticut proves that “Connecticut” doesn’t mean “boring.” It takes the category and injects it with character, creativity, and serious blending chops. Privada isn’t just about boldness—it’s about craft. And this cigar is crafted to surprise, satisfy, and rewire your expectations. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just discovering the subtleties of shade wrappers, this is a must-smoke lesson in style and substance.
