Privada Storytelling
Elegance magnified by length
The Reserva A Uno is a bold statement in proportion and patience. Its extended Presidente size lets the rich Nicaraguan blend bed into the creamy Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a marathon session. It doesn’t shout—it sustains. Layers evolve slowly: earthy cocoa opens, transitions through espresso and leather, peaks with pepper and spice, and rails off in toasted sweetness. This is a cigar built for ritual, endurance, and dialogue with flavor.
Flavor Journey
First third: Subtle earthy tones introduce cocoa and espresso wrapped in creamy smoke
Middle third: Leather and cedar appear as black pepper and red-pepper zest build
Final third: Toasted nuts, lingering spice, and soft sweetness close the experience
Draw remains easy yet focused
Burn line stays sharp across the marathon length
Smoke texture is rich, velvety, and layered throughout
