Flavor Notes: Earthy sweetness, tropical spice, toasted grains, and a creamy smooth finish Pairing Notes: Puerto Rican rum, café con leche, or arroz con gandules Manufacturer: Club del Turro Tabacalera, Río Grande, Puerto Rico Privada Storytelling For the first time in over 30 years, Puerto Rico takes center stage with a nationally released premium cigar. Rice n Beans is more than a cigar—it’s an anthem of identity, resilience, and tradition. Born from a single harvest at Finca Neo Jibaro, every leaf in this cigar, from wrapper to filler, was grown on Puerto Rican soil. Hand-rolled at Club del Turro, the craftsmanship carries forward a legacy of tobacco artistry nearly forgotten outside the island. The artwork by Tito Calavera Studio captures Puerto Rico’s vibrancy and humor, a visual celebration of the same culture that birthed this blend. It’s an invitation to taste not only tobacco, but also history, heritage, and pride. Rice n Beans is Puerto Rico’s way of saying: we never left, we’ve only been waiting. Flavor Journey From the first draw, earthy tones grounded in volcanic soil set the stage. Midway, a warm tropical spice creeps in, reminiscent of island kitchens alive with sofrito and sazón. The finish is unexpectedly creamy, a silky smoothness that ties the flavors together and lingers long after the smoke fades. Why It Belongs in Privada This is history in your humidor. The first national Puerto Rican cigar in decades, made entirely from island-grown tobacco, produced in a run of just 9,000 cigars. Rice n Beans embodies everything Privada exists to showcase: rarity, authenticity, and a story untold anywhere else in the cigar world. Production Notes Limited to 9,000 cigars 100% Puerto Rican tobacco from one harvest Hand-rolled at Club del Turro Artwork by Tito Calavera Studio Highlights First national Puerto Rican release in over 30 years Pure Puerto Rican terroir, single-harvest blend Rare, culturally rich, collector-worthy Limited, exclusive production

    I wanted to try this cigar the first time I heard about and am I glad I did. Mild and flavorful in the first 3rd. Same profile but stronger in the 2nd and WOW in the 3rd. This is a must smoke if you truly love rare and amazing cigars. PCC crushed it on this stick. I will be buying more.

    Absolute best cigar I have ever smoked. It reminds me of the time I got to spend in Puerto Rico while serving in the United States Air Force. Working with the men and women of the Puerto Rican Air National Guard Unit there in San Juan Puerto Rico. The absolute best people I have ever worked with in my life. May God bless the people of puerto rico.
