Privada Storytelling

When Prince sang about a “Raspberry Beret,” he wasn’t talking cigars—but that doesn’t mean we can’t take inspiration. Crafted at the legendary El Titan de Bronze factory in Little Havana, Miami, Raspberry Beret captures that same playful, intoxicating energy that made the song unforgettable. The band alone—featuring pioneering 3D gold foil—stands as a collectible work of art. But beneath the band lies a blend that proves why El Titan de Bronze only takes on the rarest and most exclusive projects.

This cigar embodies a meeting point between Cuban tradition and Miami innovation. Rolled with entubado fillers and finished with a classic triple cap by Level 9 Cuban rollers, it carries the elegance of Havana with the vibrancy of Calle Ocho. Raspberry Beret isn’t just another cigar—it’s an experience meant to be savored like a track you can’t get out of your head.

Flavor Journey

• First Third: A bold entrance of oak and spice wrapped in creamy smoke. The retrohale pops with red pepper, dried fruits, and leather, setting the stage with intensity.

• Second Third: Flavors shift into candied ginger, simple syrup, and a luxurious cedar bite. The profile mellows, revealing cinnamon, cardamom, and caramel notes reminiscent of a decadent dessert.

• Final Third: A grand finale of dried plum, oak, citrus zest, and mellowed red pepper. Leather, perfume, and earthy undertones swirl together before closing with vanilla and crisp apple on the finish.
