Privada Storytelling
Tatuaje Fausto was born out of the original T110—Pete Johnson's thermonuclear test blend that put strength at the forefront of cigar innovation. With Fausto, he bottled that ferocity and refined it into a regular production line under the guidance of Pepín García. It’s bold, unapologetic, and not for the faint of palate. In Privada, it represents the kind of intensity that rewards intention—the moments when you're seeking more than flavor. You're seeking force. And Fausto brings it.
Flavor Journey
First third: Opens with a rush of black pepper and espresso over dense Nicaraguan earth. Dark chocolate and charred wood hover just beneath.
Mid-smoke: Spice tames slightly, revealing toasted nuts, cedar, and a molasses-like sweetness under the surface.
Final third: Espresso re-emerges with leather and dark cocoa dominating. A smoky, oily finish completes the heavy ride.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Fausto isn’t just strong—it’s structured. It showcases what happens when power is guided by pedigree. My Father’s meticulous craftsmanship fuses with Pete Johnson’s obsession with depth and danger, creating a cigar that can’t be ignored. It’s a reminder that some stories aren’t told—they’re roared.
