Privada Storytelling
The Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte is the definition of unapologetic boldness refined. Revitalized by Matt Booth (Room101) alongside STG’s Justin Andrews and Honduras’ HATSA—this blend enhances the legacy with richer tobaccos, darker wrapper, and sharper presence
It's the cigar for moments demanding depth: late-night strategy, milestone celebrations, or just that instant when intensity is precisely the right move. It isn’t brashness—it’s layered strength. Opening with peppery vitality that flows into sweet earth, chocolate, and spice, the Extra Fuerte evolves as it burns. It’s the kind of stick you revisit not for novelty, but for mastery.
In Privada, it stands for the power of reinvention—holding heritage while daring to deepen it.

Why It Belongs in Privada
This stick doesn’t whisper—it resonates. Extra Fuerte is strength with structure, daring executed deliberately. Privada honors stogies that carry stories and punch, and this is exactly that balance: bold, refined, and memorable.
