Privada Storytelling
The Sushi Collection is proof that cigars, like cuisine, can be art. Inspired by the craftsmanship and precision of Japanese sushi, this trio turns tobacco into a gourmet experience. Just as sushi chefs select the finest cuts of fish, these blends were chosen from diverse terroirs and aged with intention. Each cigar is a dish in its own right, plated in smoke rather than rice, delivering flavors as bold and exotic as a sushi bar in Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market.
This collection was made not only to be smoked but to be savored. Aged tobaccos, unique flavor signatures, and playful interpretations transform each vitola into an edible memory without ever leaving the realm of premium cigars. It’s Privada at its most adventurous — daring to bring the art of flavor fusion into the humidor.
