Flavor Notes: Sweet cedar, red pepper, cream, roasted nuts, honey, citrus zest Pairing Notes: Aged rum, bourbon with a honey finish, medium-bodied red wine, citrus-forward IPA, roasted almonds Manufacturer: Christian Eiroa, Honduras Privada Storytelling The LCA Vintage Reserva 2022 represents more than just another annual release—it’s a time capsule of tobacco. Born entirely from the 2019 harvest of Cuban-seed Corojo grown on Christian Eiroa’s farms in Honduras , this cigar embodies the philosophy of single-year, single-farm purity. The concept allows us to taste how the conditions of a particular growing season—its rainfall, its sun, its soil—impart their own fingerprint onto the leaf. While the 2021 and 2022 releases share the same recipe, they smoke as two different stories—proof of nature’s subtle influence over tobacco. Each puff is a reminder that cigars are not factory-made commodities, but living expressions of time, place, and craft. This Reserva release shows Eiroa’s mastery and willingness to open his vaults of carefully aged leaf, a gesture of trust and authenticity that elevates the Limited Cigar Association’s mission to new heights. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with sweet cedar and toasted nuts, layered with a delicate honey-like sweetness. The retrohale offers a kick of red pepper and citrus zest, awakening the palate. Second Third: Creaminess builds, with notes of vanilla, roasted nuts, and subtle oak. The smoke becomes thicker, almost buttery, while a light pepper undertone keeps the balance. Final Third: The profile deepens into rich cedar, honeycomb, and earth with lingering spice. A warm finish of citrus peel and roasted almonds closes the journey on a refined note. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is the embodiment of Privada’s mission: rarity, craftsmanship, and narrative. With every LCA Vintage Reserva , we give our members the rare chance to taste the nuances of a single farm’s crop from a single year. It’s an experience that most cigar smokers will never encounter, and it reminds us that cigar smoking is about more than indulgence—it’s about connection to the earth, to time, and to heritage .

    This is money bro! A classy blend of just how authentic corojo should be. Nice cedar and nutty profile with just the right amount of spice on the retro. It opened my eyes to Lanceros which aren’t my favorite vitola. But this is a box worthy stick right here.
