Privada Storytelling
Few cigars capture the essence of Privada’s rebellious spirit like Not Tony. Originally released as part of the infamous Sharpie Series, its name became the center of legal tension, but its identity never faltered. What matters most has always been the leaf—and here, the leaf tells a story.
Jochy Blanco, a master of Dominican tobacco with a lineage steeped in legacy, put his touch on this project, weaving together Dominican richness with a hint of Peruvian intrigue. For three years, these cigars have been resting under Privada’s watchful aging process, evolving, deepening, and becoming something entirely unique. The sweetness that first put this cigar on the map is still present, but now it carries a spicier, more mature edge—like a jazz riff that’s been played a thousand times and somehow gets better with every note.
This redux is more than a re-release. It’s a testament to what happens when patience, tradition, and defiance converge. Privada brings you back to the roots of its cult legacy, with a cigar destined not only to be smoked but to be remembered.
Flavor Journey
First Third: Opens with sesame seed oil, cedar, white flowers, and black pepper. A flash of horseradish and candied ginger gives the profile a sharp edge, while unripe mango adds a tart intrigue. The smoke is oily and light, carrying an almost bacon-like satisfaction. Retrohale delivers a warm ribbon of cinnamon.
Second Third: The profile transitions into honey-roasted almonds, smoked paprika, sea salt, and aged cedar. Black pepper lingers while menthol adds cooling balance. Dark chocolate, tree sap, and bourbon notes meld with the cedar, creating a layered richness both earthy and refined.
Final Third: Sweet woods and milk chocolate dominate, enriched by cinnamon, crème de menthe, and faint bourbon barrel. Musty olor—a signature of elite Dominican blends—appears, wrapping the experience in old-world depth. Powdery, creamy smoke leaves a lasting impression of luxury and craft.
Why It Belongs in Privada
Not Tony was never just a cigar; it was a movement. From the Sharpie Series to its redux after three years of Privada-controlled aging, this release embodies everything Privada stands for: boundary-pushing creativity, uncompromising quality, and the preservation of rare artistry. By placing this cigar back in your hands, Privada cements its role as curator of not only fine tobacco, but of cultural touchpoints in modern cigar history.
