Privada Storytelling

When hip-hop meets the leaf, the culture shifts. Benny the Butcher—born Jeremie Damon Pennick—has been shaping music since Tana Talk 3 put the Griselda collective on the map. From Buffalo to global stages, his verses hit like raw street symphonies, blending mafioso grit with lyrical craft. For his 2024 album launch, Benny and his manager Chace Infinite wanted more than champagne bottles and velvet ropes. They wanted something timeless, something smokeable, something that would live in ash and ember.

Enter Privada Cigar Club. Together, we created a cigar that speaks to Benny’s story—layered, diverse, and impossible to ignore. Blended with tobaccos from Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Brazil, this cigar doesn’t follow the rules. Like Benny’s flow, it bends tradition, pulling influences from everywhere and fusing them into something original.

This isn’t just a release party cigar. It’s a movement in smoke, a blend for music lovers and leaf purists alike. A soundtrack you can taste.

Flavor Journey

• First Third: A cloud of dried fruits and powdery smoke greets the palate, with craisins, florals, and white pepper playing over a subtle brandy-like warmth.

• Second Third: Oak and yellow raisin join forces with unsweetened chocolate and cocoa powder. A mysterious wood note emerges, earthy and elusive, keeping the flavor unpredictable.

• Final Third: The craisin note lingers, joined by fermented fruit esters, baker’s spice, and a zing of grapefruit-like sharpness. White pepper and dark chocolate close the session with balance and depth.

Why It Belongs in Privada

Privada has always blurred the lines between cigars, culture, and artistry. With Benny The Butcher, we prove again that cigars are not just smoke—they’re identity, expression, and ritual. This project is about hip-hop history meeting cigar heritage, a fusion of two crafts built on passion and authenticity. It belongs in Privada because it’s more than a cigar—it’s a cultural artifact.
