Privada Storytelling
Candela Green Heritage Meets Bold Complexity
The Sinistro Mr Candela is a bold twist on Mr Red—a rare candela wrapper sits atop the original San Andrés wrapper. This gives you vivid candela color and retained spice and depth beneath. With multiple-year ligero from Nicaragua and a Stout backbone of Pennsylvania Broadleaf, it offers uncommon transition from vivid green freshness to rich flavor resonance.
This blend originally came out in limited batches of 200 numbered boxes. It proves candela cigars can be layered, dynamic, and serious in intensity.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with vivid cedar, grass and black pepper right up front
By the second third malt sweetness, caramel, honey roasted peanut and smooth vanilla develop over a backdrop of earth
In the final third black pepper reemerges alongside espresso, oak, and lingering caramel sweetness
The draw is free and open. The burn starts lively and becomes smooth and consistent through the final third.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Candela wrappers are rare in modern premium cigars. Sinistro’s Mr Candela proves they can deliver both novelty and richness. It brings floral green notes, unexpected sweet transitions and true strength evolution.
At Privada we value cigars that marry craftsmanship and character—and this one delivers both wrapped in one of tobacco’s most underused formats.
