Privada Storytelling
Say hello to The Bushel of Bad Apples! This cigar celebrates the spirit of Pick Jimi, the popular YouTube personality known for his lively, no-nonsense reviews. Jimi has become a voice for cigar enthusiasts who want honesty, humor, and expertise in equal measure — making the cigar lounge feel like home for everyone, from seasoned aficionados to curious beginners.
Crafted at AJ Fernández’s Tabacalera Annex in Estelí, The Bushel captures that same balance of knowledge and fun. Wrapped in an aged Ecuadorian Habano leaf, bound with Dominican tobacco, and filled with tobaccos from Jalapa and Condega, it delivers richness with accessibility. Like Jimi’s channel, it’s engaging, flavorful, and built to be enjoyed in good company.
Flavor Journey
The first third opens with sweet earth, cedar, and a touch of cream. Midway, roasted nuts and cocoa emerge, accented by a refined spice. The final third deepens with warm wood, espresso, and lingering sweetness, leaving a smooth, balanced finish.
