Flavor Notes: Earthy cedar, warm spice, roasted nuts, creamy sweetness, subtle cocoa, herbal undertones Pairing Notes: Honduran coffee, aged rum, dark chocolate with sea salt, bourbon, roasted almonds Manufacturer: Cavalier Genève at Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco, Honduras Privada Storytelling The LCA Cavalier Paca 2023 is more than just a cigar—it’s a love letter to tobacco’s journey and the people who nurture it. Cavalier Genève and the Plasencia family took the extraordinary step of weaving the cigar’s very history into its presentation. Each band features a strip of authentic paca fabric , cut from the burlap sacks where the tobaccos inside were aged. With over 15,000 sacks contributing to this release, every cigar is imbued with the weight of tradition, labor, and authenticity. This detail is not gimmick but symbolism: the Paca cigar represents the thousands of hands who plant, pick, cure, ferment, and roll the leaves before they reach you. Rolled in Honduras at the Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco , the Paca elevates tobacco craft into living art, uniting science and patience with history and heritage. Each puff is a reminder that cigars are more than smoke—they’re stories told in leaves. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with cedar and roasted nuts, accented by warm baking spices and a whisper of pepper on the retrohale. A creamy texture coats the palate, allowing subtle cocoa to peek through. Second Third: The profile expands with herbal tones and a delicate sweetness, almost honey-like. Notes of oak and spice deepen, balancing richness with restraint. The Peruvian filler adds an exotic touch of fruit and earth. Final Third: The experience crescendos into a blend of cedar, cream, cocoa, and toasted bread, with pepper mellowing into a sophisticated warmth. The finish is long, nutty, and sweet, leaving a luxurious impression of balance and refinement. Why It Belongs in Privada The Paca embodies what the LCA and Privada stand for—elevating craft cigars into cultural milestones. By incorporating actual fabric from the aging sacks, Cavalier turns the cigar into a living archive of labor and history . It’s a tangible reminder that what you’re smoking carries the soul of countless workers and the weight of traditions stretching back generations. That depth of storytelling and authenticity makes it a perfect fit for the Privada ethos.

    Excellent medium strength, medium-full flavor experience. I have enjoyed 3 in 2025, in various seasons of the year, and it shines bright in the winter as well as the spring. -CVHSr
