Flavor Notes: Charred oak, saddle leather, roasted peanuts, black peppercorn, toasted bread, paprika, cocoa dust, cedar bark, dried herbs, chili flake, cocoa, walnut, chestnut, smoked salt, minerality. Finishes with tingling spice and faint burnt sugar. Pairing Notes: Best with aged rum, mango seltzer, or lightly oaked Chardonnay. Also fits perfectly with a Primanti sandwich for full Pittsburgh homage. Manufacturer: Factory Annex (Aged 5 Years) Privada Storytelling Pittsburgh isn’t just a place, it’s a flavor—gritty, soulful, unapologetic. Nothing captures that essence like a Primanti Bros. sandwich, stacked high with fries, slaw, and bold character. The Primanti cigar was built in the same spirit: unapologetically layered, proudly working-class, and full of depth. Rolled in the Annex and aged five years, it’s a tribute to the steel town’s resilience, its food, and its people. Just like the sandwich, it’s hearty, bold, and unforgettable. Flavor Journey First Third: Bold, earthy body smoke with rustic Nicaraguan character. Notes of cedar bark, cured leather, and dried herbs. A retrohale of dry chili flake, cocoa, and faint peanut. Second Third: Burnt citrus peel and toasted walnut emerge, alongside jerky spice and charred cedar. The texture thickens with leathery weight and roasted chestnut. Final Third: Salted lime and smoked salt push forward, grounded by cocoa and minerality. Retrohale delivers tingling spice and faint burnt sugar. Why It Belongs in Privada The Primanti is a cigar that embodies a city. It’s rugged yet nuanced, nostalgic yet forward-looking. For Privada, it belongs because it represents everything we love—heritage, identity, and the ability of cigars to connect culture and craft. With its ties to a legendary sandwich, it transforms into more than a cigar—it’s Pittsburgh in smoke form.

    This was an absolutely fantastic stick. Even with a small punch cut there were copious amounts of smoke and definitely a lot of great flavors coming out of this cigar.
