A Maduro Statement of Boutique Power
The Pride sits at the bold apex of El León’s “Pride” trilogy—a cigar that doesn’t whisper, but roars. Its dark Maduro wrapper glistens with oil, hinting at a smoke crafted for those who crave depth and presence. From the first draw, the blend—a symphony of aged Nicaraguan long-fillers—serves a rich, earthy base spiced with black pepper and lustrous dark chocolate. Balanced yet assertive, it stands alongside ceremonial smokes that invite reflection as much as enjoyment.
First third:
Striking earth and dark Maduro sweetness, punctuated by crisp black pepper and subtle chocolate notes.
Middle third:
Flavor deepens with rich, aged tobacco character—earth becomes layered with dark cocoa and cedar, pepper remains lively.
Final third:
Sweetness lingers while pepper remains vibrant. Earth and chocolate entwine with a refined, lasting richness.
Draw is effortlessly bold; the burn is even and clean, requiring minimal touch-up. Smoke output is generous and aromatic.
The Pride delivers a captivating blend of bold Maduro complexity and boutique-crafted intensity. It’s not just a cigar—it’s a statement sculpture of flavor—and aligns with Privada’s vision of ceremonial, landscape-rich smokes that leave an impression. This is the cigar to light when you want a story in each puff, and a memory in every ember.
