Privada Storytelling
The Southern Draw Crocus is a cigar of substance, both in flavor and in purpose. Crafted as a bold twist on the Ladykiller blend, this Churchill measures 7×50 and carries the unmistakable Southern Draw commitment to craftsmanship. Draped in a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and aged for three years, the Crocus elevates every puff into a layered journey of spice, sweetness, and strength.
But the Crocus is more than tobacco. This release supports the United States Border Patrol Fallen Officers Scholarship Fund, providing education opportunities for the children of agents who made the ultimate sacrifice. Founded in 2003 by retired Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Kyle Krall, the fund has since changed lives through higher education and vocational scholarships. The Crocus marries cigar artistry with tangible impact, proving that what we smoke can also carry meaning.
Flavor Journey
The first draws deliver dark cocoa and black pepper, followed by leather and cedar that add balance and body. Midway, roasted coffee emerges alongside baking spice, intensifying the Churchill’s richness. The final third brings a deep, lingering profile of earth, cocoa, and spice, closing with strength and satisfaction.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada exists to tell stories through cigars, and Southern Draw Crocus does exactly that. It’s a rare Churchill that doesn’t just provide flavor but contributes to a cause bigger than the leaf itself. For collectors, it’s a meaningful addition; for smokers, it’s proof that cigars can represent both pleasure and purpose.
