Privada Storytelling
The Sobremesa Solita Churchill en Cedros is a cigar that captures the spirit of conversation — that unhurried time after a meal when friends linger, stories deepen, and smoke curls slowly toward the ceiling. Steve Saka created Sobremesa to embody that moment, fusing Nicaraguan depth with subtle refinement in a way few cigars ever achieve.
The Churchill en Cedros, gently wrapped in aromatic Spanish cedar, elevates that experience to ritual. The cedar sleeve imparts a whisper of wood and spice before the cigar even meets flame, a quiet reminder that patience is part of the pleasure. This isn’t a cigar you rush — it’s one you savor, measure by measure, conversation by conversation.
Flavor Journey
The first third begins with cedar and toasted bread, joined by cocoa and light pepper. Midway, leather, espresso, and cinnamon emerge, balanced by a dried fruit sweetness. In the final third, the Pennsylvania ligero asserts itself — earthy, rich, and slightly spicy, closing the cigar with authority and grace.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada exists to honor cigars that tell stories — not just of tobacco, but of time. Sobremesa is one of the most personal blends ever crafted by Steve Saka, and the Solita Churchill en Cedros captures that honesty perfectly. It belongs in Privada because it reflects the art of slowing down, appreciating detail, and embracing connection — all core to what cigar culture truly means.
