Privada Storytelling
Zúcar is Spanish for “sugar,” and this cigar lives up to the name from the first sweet kiss on the lips to the final puff. But this isn’t your average flavored cigar. This is Espinosa’s take on infusion—elegant, creamy, and intentional. Designed for those who want dessert in a cigar without sacrificing quality, Zúcar uses Nicaraguan tobacco wrapped in a soft Indonesian leaf and infused with a blend of vanilla and sweet cream essence. It’s approachable yet handcrafted, mellow yet flavorful. In Privada, Zúcar is the wildcard you bring out when you want to surprise the table with something disarmingly good.
