Privada Storytelling

The Dagger and Bow carries a legend as sharp as its name. Originally commissioned for a Saudi prince during the scarcity of the pandemic, this cigar was meant to rival even Cohiba in prestige and adventure. Crafted with a silky Estelí Habano wrapper and rare Peruvian leaf, it was destined for opulent Cuban-style jars that never came to be.

When silence fell from the client, these cigars were left behind — forgotten yet perfectly preserved. For three years they slumbered in age, transforming into something richer, more complex, and entirely unique. Now released to Privada members, they embody fate’s redirection, a story of what could have been and what greatness became instead. The meaning of “Dagger and Bow” may remain shrouded in mystery, but the experience is undeniable — bold, refined, and unforgettable.

Flavor Journey

The first third strikes with cedar, espresso, and hints of baking spice, quickly joined by subtle citrus zest. Midway, the Peruvian influence emerges — dark chocolate, earth, and mineral notes layering into the profile. The final third deepens into roasted coffee, leather, and spice, leaving a clean, balanced finish laced with intrigue.
