HVC Cigars Creates Exclusive for Privada Cigar Club
HVC Cigars and Privada Cigar Club have partnered on a new exclusive cigar that will be available to a small group of club members as well as the general public by way of the club’s online store.
The HVC PCC Exclusive is a 5 1/2 x 48 parejo, “just a tad grander than a corona gorda,” Brian Desind of Privada Cigar Club told halfwheel. As for the blend, Reinier Lorenzo of HVC Cigars said that he went a bit more aggressive with the use of Nicaraguan tobacco from Estelí in order to create a spicy, bold and fuller blend. Both the binder and filler are Nicaraguan-grown leaves from AGANORSA Leaf, while the wrapper is a Mexican San Andrés maduro. The cigar is made at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) factory in Estelí.
Production is limited to approximately 2,800 cigars, priced at $14 per cigar. Desind said that it was included in the monthly boxes of 500 randomly selected members of the club, which now totals more than 5,000 members. The rest are currently being offered for sale to the public.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
