Half Bird by Blackbird
The story of Half Bird is as straightforward as it gets. Privada Cigar Club founder Brian Desind picked up a Blackbird band, tore it in half, and said, “This should be the band. Let’s call it Half a Bird.” And that’s exactly what they did. But this isn’t just about the band—it’s about the cigar. Half Bird is the creation of Papo El Caballo, a master blender whose precision and expertise earned him a legendary reputation during his time at Davidoff. Now at Blackbird, Papo has crafted a cigar that’s bold, balanced, and distinctly Dominican. Featuring an aged Dominican wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, Half Bird delivers a flavor profile that’s smooth, complex, and satisfying. Expect notes of fresh cedar, sweet honey, bright citrus, and a rich, earthy core. Perfect for the holiday season, this 6×52 cigar is the kind of smoke you’ll want to savor.
Release Date: Friday, December 6th

W.A. French Bulletin by AJ Fernandez
The W.A. French Bulletin is the final release in a ten-part series inspired by Wes Anderson films. This installment pays tribute to The French Dispatch, with a blend from AJ Fernandez that has been aging for over two years. This 6×56 cigar features a Mexican San Andres wrapper from the renowned Turrent family and Nicaraguan fillers cultivated by AJ Fernandez in Estelí and Condega. The result is a rich, layered smoke that evolves with every draw—delivering deep, nuanced flavors balanced by AJ’s signature craftsmanship. As the final chapter of the W.A. series, French Bulletin is the most complex and satisfying blend yet. It’s bold, warming, and perfectly suited for the season. With two more Wes Anderson films released since this series began, the question remains: should it continue?
