The W.A. Team Z is the fourth installment in our Wes Anderson-inspired series, and it dives deep into one of Brian Desind’s personal favorites: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Just like Team Zissou’s quirky, determined crew in their quest for the jaguar shark, this cigar embodies adventure, loyalty, and a touch of whimsy. Rolled by AJ Fernandez in Estelí, this 6×54 toro captures the essence of the sea—mystery, exploration, and the courage to chase what others might never dare. This is not just a cigar; it’s a cinematic voyage rendered in smoke.
First Third: Opens with cedar and roasted nuts, balanced by cocoa sweetness and a faint sea breeze minerality. Retrohaling introduces a peppery kick with a clean finish.
Second Third: The smoke deepens into baking spice, leather, and a saline touch that nods to the ocean theme, layered with creamy espresso undertones.
Final Third: Rich, earthy cocoa and oak take over, accented by red pepper warmth and lingering sweetness. The finish is bold yet refined, a satisfying resolution to the journey.
The W.A. Series isn’t just about cigars—it’s about storytelling, culture, and capturing the worlds that inspire us. Team Z belongs in Privada because it represents the balance of artistry and adventure. It’s a smoke for the dreamers, the explorers, and anyone willing to chase their own jaguar shark, whatever it may be.
