The W.A. series is one of Privada’s most artistic storytelling projects, drawing direct inspiration from the films of Wes Anderson. The Whitman, named after the three brothers in The Darjeeling Limited, mirrors the film’s theme of self-discovery and emotional transition. Just as the brothers’ journey unfolds on a train through India, this cigar takes you on its own trip of evolving flavors and delicate complexity.
What makes The Whitman so captivating is its ability to surprise you. Cloaked in a lighter Nicaraguan claro wrapper, it seems like it might be a mellow smoke. Yet, beneath that soft appearance lies a cigar filled with transitions, nuance, and depth—perfectly echoing Anderson’s layered storytelling.
First Third: Opens with creamy cedar and toasted almond, accented by floral honey that feels like sunlight pouring through an open train window.
Second Third: Flavors evolve into citrus zest and warm spices, with subtle sweetness balancing against light white pepper on the retrohale.
Final Third: The profile deepens with richer cedar and earth, finishing with a lingering cream and soft spice, leaving the palate reflective and satisfied.
The Whitman belongs in the Privada portfolio because it represents the art of narrative smoking—where a cigar isn’t just tobacco, but a story, a journey, and an experience. Like The Darjeeling Limited, this release is layered, personal, and quietly profound. It’s more than a cigar; it’s a cinematic experience told through leaf.
