Privada Storytelling
The W.A. Field Scout is the seventh entry in our Wes Anderson-inspired series and perhaps its crown jewel. Drawing on the whimsical, nostalgic spirit of Moonrise Kingdom, this cigar captures the adventurous essence of a youthful scout exploring uncharted territory. Aged for over a year and a half, the Field Scout is proof of what’s possible when passion, imagination, and AJ Fernandez’s mastery collide.
What once seemed impossible—having AJ helm a dedicated Privada project—has now become reality. The Field Scout isn’t just another cigar in the W.A. series; it’s a declaration of how far Privada has come. This is edutainment in its purest form: a cigar as a story, a story as a cigar.
