The phrase Plata y Plomo—silver or lead—was made infamous by Pablo Escobar. Either you took the money, or you took the bullets. Sinistro Cigars leaned into this duality when creating Plata y Plomo, a cigar that walks the line between elegance and danger. The band itself is a masterpiece: one half adorned with peace, coins, and sunlight, the other with bullets, fire, and war. It’s not just a cigar—it’s a declaration.
Blended at the legendary La Aurora factory in the Dominican Republic, this cigar draws from one of the oldest and most labor-intensive tobacco traditions in the world: Andullo. Wrapped in banana leaves and fermented for months, Andullo tobacco adds a richness and depth that can’t be found elsewhere. James of Sinistro spent four months perfecting this blend, layering Connecticut Shade’s smooth elegance with the bold, earthy power of Andullo. The result is a cigar that feels both refined and dangerous, like sipping cognac with one hand and rolling dice with the other.
First Third: Opens with oak, cedar, red pepper, sourdough toast, yeast, and cinnamon, creating a savory, full-flavored profile. A touch of leather lingers while the retrohale carries spice and cereal grains.
Second Third: Expands into cedar, dark cola, black cherry syrup, minerals, and salt. At times the cedar shifts to oak, and a curious marshmallow-like sweetness appears, balancing the intensity with unexpected softness.
Final Third: Finishes with jasmine florals, honey, syrupy sweetness, corn, hay, and cinnamon, before revealing an intriguing lime and black walnut nuance. Bold yet elegant, it closes with power and grace.
Plata y Plomo embodies everything Privada stands for: heritage, risk-taking, and bold storytelling. This cigar could only exist because of Privada’s pursuit of the rare and unique. Andullo tobacco is rarely seen in premium cigars—it’s too costly, too time-consuming, too unconventional. But Sinistro and La Aurora brought it to life here, and with years of controlled aging, it’s matured into something unforgettable. This is a Privada-only creation, a cigar you will not find anywhere else, and a perfect example of how deep we go to bring you experiences beyond the mainstream.
