Privada Storytelling
Few cigars in the modern boutique era have the mythos of the T110. Originally released in Hawaii as a test blend (“T” for test, “110” for the millimeter length of the cigar), it was made to be unapologetically strong—a firecracker in a small format. Collectors chased it. Whispers spread. The T110 became legend.
The Corojo version takes that power and wraps it in an Ecuadorian Corojo leaf, adding another dimension of spice and tradition. Rolled at My Father in Estelí, it’s a blend that bridges Pete Johnson’s fearless creativity with the Garcia family’s legendary craftsmanship. Smoking it is like revisiting the early days of Tatuaje, when limited runs and cult status were the order of the day.
Flavor Journey
The cigar lights up with red pepper and earth, unmistakably Corojo-driven. Within the first inch, cedar and leather join the mix, while roasted nuts and cocoa emerge as it burns steady. Midway, the blend shows finesse: subtle citrus zest, hints of sweetness, and waves of cream soften the edges of its bold core. The finish is classic Tatuaje—spice-forward, earthy, and endlessly satisfying.
Why It Belongs in Privada
The T110 is not just a cigar; it’s a piece of boutique history. Revived in limited production, the Corojo wrapper elevates the cult classic into something even more collectible. Privada members demand access to the rare, the whispered-about, the cigars that others can only dream of finding. The T110 Corojo is exactly that—a powerful story, a short vitola that punches above its weight, and a legacy piece for any serious collector.
