Privada Storytelling
Every once in a while, a cigar comes along that feels like a moment in time—something you smoke and know instantly you’ll remember forever. This is that cigar. The Santana D’Crossier Interview Cigar isn’t just another release—it’s the very same cigar we smoked together during the legendary interview with Santana, the man behind D’Crossier.
Santana has always been a purist, a keeper of the old-world Cuban tradition while blending in the sophistication of Costa Rican terroir. His cigars speak softly yet with conviction, offering balance, refinement, and the kind of artistry that whispers rather than shouts. This toro, dressed in a golden Habano wrapper and built on Costa Rican leaf, is the definition of perfection in form and function. It is balanced, elegant, and timeless—a cigar worthy of documenting in Privada history.
Flavor Journey
-
First Third: Opens with creamy cedar, sweet hay, and a soft café con leche note that glides across the palate. A whisper of almond and honey sweetness lingers.
-
Second Third: The body deepens into toasted almonds, cocoa, and a floral spice reminiscent of Cuban heritage cigars. Smooth and refined, each puff is layered without ever being heavy.
-
Final Third: Evolves into a luxurious creaminess with notes of vanilla custard, cedar, and light pepper. A touch of honeycomb sweetness closes out a smoke that is nothing short of masterful.
