Privada Storytelling
Every year when the season turns cold, StillWell Star unveils a blend that feels like stepping into a warm room filled with pine, spices, and nostalgia. For 2025, the Holiday Edition returns with a profile built to capture the feeling of winter gatherings and candle-lit rooms.
Steve Saka and his team crafted this cigar using a rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper wrapped around Nicaraguan core leaf and an aromatic pipe tobacco mixture developed specifically for the holiday release. The result is a cigar that feels celebratory without being gimmicky. It is comforting, aromatic, refined, and unmistakably StillWell.
It is the kind of cigar that turns a quiet December night into a memory.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with vanilla cream and warm cedar, followed by a gentle cinnamon sweetness. Midway, toasted sugar and mulled fruit rise through the smoke while the aromatic pipe tobacco adds a festive, room-filling aroma. The final third deepens into caramelized oak and soft winter spice, leaving a long, cozy finish that invites reflection.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada is built on seasonality, story, and emotion. The StillWell Star Holiday 2025 blend brings all three together in a cigar that transforms the winter season into flavor. This is craftsmanship with purpose, a limited yearly tradition, and one of the most unique experiences in modern cigar making.
