Umbagog isn’t just a cigar—it’s a philosophy. Named after Steve Saka’s favorite fishing lake in New Hampshire, this is his personal smoke. No frills, no fanfare, just Broadleaf muscle and Nicaraguan heart. It's the cigar Saka smokes on his own time, in a flannel shirt with mud on his boots. Privada celebrates that ethos—authentic, stripped down, and honest. Cigars like this prove that not every masterpiece needs gold foil or velvet bands. Sometimes the best blends hide in plain sight.
The first few draws hit like a tree branch cracking in the forest—raw, woody, and real. Charred oak and bitter chocolate coat the tongue, followed by a wave of espresso and smoked meat. As it opens up, a dusty sweetness creeps in: molasses crust, dry walnut, black pepper. Midway through, mineral tones and leather dominate, dragging you deeper into the woods. The final third is a slow-cooked roast—earthy, meaty, unshaken. It’s a survivalist’s cigar with a craftsman’s soul.
Because even in a world of ornate bands and aging vaults, sometimes the best cigars are built for the elements. Umbagog doesn’t just survive—it thrives where other cigars wouldn’t dare go. It's a cigar of substance over style, grit over gloss, and character over cost. Privada seeks out forgotten roads, and this is one of them. It’s the smoke for those who know that beauty often hides beneath the bark.
