Score Justification: This cigar was great. I think it needs to be humidified to at least 73% for sure. The seems were visible and smashed but not bad.
Overall Thoughts: This cigar is a banger. Trust the process. The flavor notes were perfect, the construction was one point and the draw was darn near perfect. Cherries and Almonds? Yes please. I think this is the perfect mid day cigar. Do not sleep on this cigar. Seriously, it’s worth every penny.
Privada Spirits. We created the idea for Privada Spirits well over 2 years ago. We realized very early on that people love cigars and spirits but they rarely did it right or understood how to pair the two together at all. So we came up with a fool proof plan for knowing what spirit goes with what cigar. Even if you do not drink alcoholic beverages, these cigars are all fantastic on their own. To create the cigars we submitted our idea for Privada Spirits to 6 different factories. In the end, Tabacalera Perla, the same manufacturer that makes our beloved Paul Stulac, outperformed all. These cigars are all natural and use natural fermentation and blending to achieve the clear flavor notes that are hard to achieve. Each one is as good as the next and each cigar on its own, released by a boutique brand, would be touted as a must try stick. How we came up with all 5 of these in one line of cigars is beyond me and a testament to the power of the Privada movement.
