Wraith Series 2024
Welcome to the Privada Wraith Series. Privada Wraiths are the stuff of legend — Cigar folklore if you will. With this series is summoned the spirits of legendary blends, of cigars long lost to the past, recreating each to offer them new life. These are cigars that rocked the industry and changed blending as we know it today. The most iconic of these blends have not been made this way – the original way – in a long time. The Privada Wraith Series travels back to the original factories to source everything necessary to recreate these celebrated cigars. Every effort is made to ensure that each Wraith manifestation is as close as possible to what was originally released. Each year the cigar is different. Most years, the tobaccos, factories and original name of the cigar is omitted to maintain respect for the brands for whom the blends were originally produced. When you encounter a Wraith, you’ll know you are enjoying a part of cigar history that changed the game forever. This year, Privada unearthed a revered Connecticut blend born during a time when the cigar world was obsessed with maduros in the early 2010s. The factory behind this 6×54 box-pressed toro revealed hardly any details—the Connecticut Shade wrapper comes from a specific, highly coveted farm, and the blend includes tobaccos from several countries…no factory wants to risk signaling to the original brand owner the revival of their prized blend. Indulge in box-pressed bliss this October, as we bring you a legend from the past, reimagined for today.
Dead Stock – LCA Plus 2024
Ride the pepper train! — Rob D.
The cigar industry is full of brands that come and go, leaving their stock to quietly age in rooms across Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Costa Rica, and beyond. But now, with Dead Stock, you get access to these hidden treasures—cigars that are not just aged, but properly documented, ensuring you get what others only promise. Dead Stock Cigars by Privada Cigar Club— where you can finally experience truly aged cigars, authentically aged. During a routine check-in with AJ Fernandez’s factory in Estelí, the Privada crew stumbled upon a forgotten batch of 7×47 true Churchill-sized cigars, aging undisturbed for nearly six years. Originally crafted for a luxury European brand that never launched, these cigars feature a golden Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Costa Rican binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Their unique blend was meant for exclusivity, but fate kept them hidden—until now. With Dead Stock, these lost treasures are finally available, offering an experience shaped by time and history.
