Privada Storytelling
The Big Payback Sumatra is Room 101’s tribute to its fans—a bold thank you wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra elegance. It honors Matt Booth’s blend-driven ethos: accessible luxury with layered intrigue. Made to stand out yet charm with every draw, it's that cigar you share stories over.
Light it after a long day. That first puff delivers daughter sweetness—cherrywood turning creamy, then deepening into mocha and leather. It doesn’t shout; it teases complexities, urging another puff. It's a handshake of gratitude, nostalgia, and craft. In Privada, this cigar is community—wrapped, smoked, remembered.
