Moon Traveler by Privada Cigar Club is a limited-release 7 1/4 x 56 Figurado created for smokers seeking a bold, slow-burning Nicaraguan experience. Handcrafted at the Lanuza Cigar Factory by master blender Raul Lanuza, this large-format cigar uses an elegant figurado shape to deliver a concentrated opening, a broader midsection and a long, evolving finish.
A rich Mexican San Andrés wrapper surrounds an Estelí-grown Nicaraguan binder and select Nicaraguan fillers from Jalapa and Estelí. The blend is full-bodied with medium-plus strength, balancing dark Maduro sweetness with the mineral-rich earth, pepper and structure associated with Estelí tobacco. Expect deep notes of charred oak, dark chocolate, black cherry, leather, molasses, baking spice and black pepper.
Moon Traveler is aged for six months before release, allowing the blend’s darker flavours to settle into a cohesive, polished profile. Its generous 7 1/4 x 56 format produces dense smoke and a long, rewarding session, making it well suited to an evening pour of bourbon, aged rum or a dark stout.

Another banger from Privada CC! Chocolate and cherry, earth and slight spice. Love the figurado shape as well. Slightly tight draw at times, but with my draw tool, not a problem at all.
