Flavor Notes: Graham cracker, Nutella, caramel, dried fig, golden hay, roasted almond, cocoa, white pepper, vanilla Pairing Notes: Root beer float, wheated bourbon, hazelnut coffee Manufacturer: Tabacalera Annex (Aged 4 Years) Privada Storytelling By the power of Privada… you now possess the cigar of Grayskull. Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and AJ’s original blend over eight years ago, Castle Grayskull has been reborn with a Costa Rican twist. It’s nostalgia reimagined as a 6 × 60 beast — bold, sweet, and spiced with playful power. This is a cigar that punches back, balancing Nutella sweetness with graham cracker and golden hay, wrapped in pure memory and might. Flavor Journey First Third: Clouds of creamy smoke with graham cracker, caramel, and white pepper. Nutella and cereal grain on the cold draw. Second Third: Nutella note deepens with cedar and mild clove. Costa Rican filler shines with warm baking spice and roasted almond. Final Third: Spice sharpens with cinnamon bark and pepper, finishing with lingering cocoa and vanilla sweetness. Why It Belongs in Privada Castle Grayskull belongs because it embodies Privada’s mission: cigars that aren’t just smoked, but lived. It’s nostalgia with teeth, and it proves that even childhood icons can become legendary smokes. Production Notes Reimagined blend originally crafted by AJ. 6 × 60 format amplifies creamy smoke and sweetness. Unique Costa Rican filler adds mystery and depth. Highlights Massive, flavorful Gran Toro. Nostalgic branding with bold, sweet profile. Blended with Costa Rican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.

    Fantastic stick that hit all the bells and whistles. I favor Manduros for their heavier profiles.These have great transition that gets better as you go.

    Received this in the Privada Club shipment. This cigar was so damn good, I quickly jumped on the site and ordered more to share with my son. Do yourself a favor and grab them while available.

    Fantastic label and one of my favorite smokes. I say that because I am almost positive that this is the Room 101 Muzzle Loader. While smoking the Castle Grayskull I was trying to put a finger on that familiarity and going into the final third it clicked for sure. I looked up the blends and they are almost identical, both AJ and the Tabacalera Annex factory but the flavor was spot on for me. That all said(and maybe I am just wrong 🫠) I love the experience. The only reason I am not going 5 star is the price point. I would love to see this stick at around a 7-9 price but I also understand that Privada has to make theirs and they are putting out a great cigar(again, it is probably not the EXACT same as the Muzzle Loader) with a beautiful and iconic label. You should definitely pick this up!
