Privada Storytelling
The Quail Aged 5 Years Event Only ROLEX, Wolves Whiskey was born not just as a cigar, but as an artifact of luxury. Created in 2021 for The Quail at Pebble Beach, an event synonymous with rare automobiles, elegance, and prestige, this cigar was offered exclusively to a small circle of the world’s elite. Sponsored by Rolex and Wolves Whiskey, its release symbolized the union of time, taste, and tradition.
Fast forward five years and this cigar has become more than a smoke—it has matured into a story you can hold in your hand. Aged patiently in Costa Rica, it carries the aura of forbidden fruit: rare, almost mythic, and unattainable outside of its original moment in time. With fewer than 100 in existence, it’s as much a collector’s heirloom as it is a cigar, now unveiled through Privada to those who understand that true luxury isn’t bought—it’s earned.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Opens with a refined interplay of espresso, dark chocolate, and oak. A backdrop of leather and black pepper provides structure, while hints of dried fruit add richness.
Second Third: The profile deepens into honeyed sweetness with toasted almond and mineral earth. The smoke is velvety, carrying a balance of sweetness and spice reminiscent of aged fine wine.
Final Third: The cigar closes with bold espresso, cedar, and cacao nibs, softened by crème brûlée sweetness and a lingering, elegant pepper finish. Every puff affirms its rare, luxurious origin.
