Privada Storytelling
When Paul Newman and Tom Cruise hit the big screen together in The Color of Money, one embodied classic cool while the other embodied flash and flair. Privada captured that dynamic with cigars. First came Fast Eddie—smooth, timeless, steady. Now comes The Vince, its counterpart with swagger, showmanship, and just a little more edge.
This 7+ year aged creation is more than just a cigar; it’s a statement piece. The box-pressed Corona Gorda with a rare pigtail foot looks like it belongs in the hand of someone who doesn’t just enter the room but commands it. Like Vince himself, it demands attention, carrying the kind of presence that turns heads in the lounge. Crafted at Black Bird Cigar Co. by Jonas and the Horse, this blend builds upon the legacy of Fast Eddie while turning up the volume. Aged to perfection, it delivers maturity and finesse alongside boldness and charm.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Bursts of dried peach, apricot, raspberry Snapple, black coffee, dark roast, and black pepper, with cedar and leather forming the backbone. Vanilla and faint berry notes linger, joined by a powdery, salty smoke texture that coats the palate.
Second Third: Flavors deepen into vanilla, leather, black coffee, cedar, salted peanuts, and charcoal, with blueberries flickering in and out. Phantom notes of buttered popcorn appear, while the retrohale sharpens with black pepper.
Final Third: Rich dark bread, salt, rosemary, herbs, and dried lavender emerge, blending beautifully with peanuts, charcoal, and creamy black coffee. Vanilla threads through to the finish, leaving a smoky, floral, and savory finale.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This cigar is Privada storytelling in physical form—taking a movie, its characters, and their contrasting energies, then capturing that essence in tobacco. The Vince is playful yet serious, bold yet refined, and unforgettable in its aged complexity. For Privada members, this is more than a cigar; it’s a cinematic moment preserved in leaf. Just like its namesake, it leaves an impression that lingers long after it’s gone.
