Manufacturer: Tampeno Cigars, Jalapa (finished in Tampa) – Aged 2 Years Privada Storytelling A dark legend forged in two homes. Skeletor unites Jalapa’s old-world mastery with Tampa’s finishing polish, crafted to exacting Privada specs. Rolled in Tampeno Cigars’ intimate “icehouse” workshop in Jalapa, then rested and finished in Tampa, Skeletor is wrapped in a prized San Andrés Maduro leaf borrowed from AJ Fernandez himself. Its toothy, crystallized wrapper cloaks a Jalapa-grown heart that delivers both raw power and refined elegance. This is Jalapa’s soul with Tampa’s polish, a collaboration born from craft and vision. Flavor Journey First Third: Bold entry of espresso crema, dark chocolate, and toasted coconut. Cedar and aged tobacco round out the introduction, with white pepper on the retrohale. Second Third: Deepens into black tea, licorice root, and pecan, woven with iron-rich earth and molasses. Retrohale builds with cocoa-bitterness and subtle fruit tones. Final Third: Bold finish of charred oak, smoky leather, and blackberry. Ash holds gray and solid, burning with surgical precision to the nub. Why It Belongs in Privada Skeletor is both collaboration and defiance—borrowing from legends while creating something new. It represents Jalapa’s terroir, Tampa’s artistry, and Privada’s relentless pursuit of uniqueness. It belongs because it dares to smoke the dark side.
