Privada Storytelling
Named for the Ark of the Covenant and honoring Melillo’s Connecticut roots, the #142 is a meditation on tradition and patience. Featuring a rare wrapper fermented for three years and lit at AJ Fernandez’s factory, it’s a crafted statement of reverence. In Privada’s collection, Tabernacle #142 is sacred space—a cigar built for reflection, depth, and respect.
Flavor Journey
This cigar opens on a strong, earthy note—hickory and cedar meet creamy leather and milk-chocolate sweetness, while an early burst of pepper invigorates the palate. As it moves through the midsection, the core deepens: almond, cashew, cinnamon, clove, and rich dark cocoa interlace over a base of earth and cedar. Retrohales bring bright citrus zest and peppery punch, while a delicately sweet licorice note rounds each draw. It finishes with firm leather, crisp wood, and lingering mocha, maintaining balance through medium‑full strength and body.
Why It Belongs in Privada
This is craftsmanship elevated: rare wrapper, extended fermentation, multi-origin core, and precise construction. It demands and rewards attention. Privada curates smokes that resonate in ritual—Tabernacle #142 offers legacy and layer, without compromise.
