Privada Storytelling
In the heart of crisis comes creativity — that’s the origin of the La Fabrica series. During a production bottleneck, Sinistro blended a special line designed to honor old-school leaf and modern boutique craft. The Thick As Thieves 5-Pack is one of those blends: a hidden-gem project rolled at a discreet facility, built from rare tobacco origins, and shipped in tightly numbered batches.
Every stick in this bundle speaks of camaraderie and rebellion — not simply because of the name, but because the blend was made to stand with the best, no copied formula. With an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and San Andrés binder, the foundation is classic. But the fillers? Pennsylvania, Nicaragua, Corojo, Criollo ’98 — a multinational nod to the true aficionado’s radar.
Light one, and you’re not just smoking a cigar. You’re joining the club.
Flavor Journey
First puff: ash-white, crisp sidewalls, then peppery spark and toasted hay from the Pennsylvania leaves. By the second third: deeper Corojo spice, sweet molasses from the Nicaraguan filler, a soft cocoa dust finish. Final third: smooth wood, buttery toast, and a lingering tingle that still invites the next draw. Medium-full presence, but no overwhelm — the balance is what separates it.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada curates cigars that combine story, rarity, edge, and taste. The Thick As Thieves 5-Pack has all of them. A limited-count bundle. A multi-origin filler blend. A craft mindset in the mix. For a member who knows their leaf and wants an experience rather than a label, this is one to invest in.
