Flavor Notes: Freeze-dried blueberry, marshmallow cream, cereal milk, graham cracker, strawberry cream, bakery spice, berry syrup, vanilla marshmallow, cocoa Pairing Notes: Vanilla cream soda, port wine, blueberry wheat ale, playful Saturday-morning-style soundtracks Manufacturer: Manufactura Rivas, Tamboril, Dominican Republic Privada Storytelling Unearthed from Chico Rivas’s private stash in Tamboril, this Dominican puro has been resting for seven years. Wrapped in Cibao Valley Corojo with classic Dominican binder and fillers, the experience begins with freeze-dried blueberry on the body and marshmallow cream on the cold draw, quickly swirling into a bowl of whimsical cereal nostalgia. Blueberry jam, cereal milk, graham cracker, strawberry cream, and bakery spice dance across the palate like a Saturday cartoon turned into smoke. It is playful, fun, deliciously Dominican, and crafted with the kind of detail only Chico Rivas can deliver. Flavor Journey First Third: Freeze-dried blueberry body, sweet cereal grains on the foot, cold draw of marshmallow cream and berry candy. Second Third: Blueberry jam thickens, cereal milk meets graham cracker and oat notes. Retrohale becomes strawberry cream with cinnamon sugar. Final Third: Toastier, richer, berry syrup over charred oak, vanilla marshmallow rising beneath faint clove. Retrohale shifts to cocoa dust and candied berry. Why It Belongs in Privada This is aged Dominican magic — seven years tucked away in Chico Rivas’s private supply. It is nostalgic, flavorful, playful, and rare, embodying the creativity and curation that make Privada unlike anyone else in the cigar world. Production Notes Seven-year-aged Dominican puro using Corojo, Olor, San Vicente, and Piloto Cubano, crafted in Tamboril with signature Rivas precision. Highlights Blueberry dessert profile, creamy cereal nostalgia, seven-year rest, rare Chico Rivas stash release.

"A damn nice cigar! The berry notes are subtle but well blended. The retrohale is smooth throughout and burned sharp. A solid 90’s smoke!" — Kent
