LCA Wraith Series 2024 Toro

Introducing the Privada Wraith Series—a journey into cigar folklore. These are cigars that once defined an era, now brought back to life for a new generation of enthusiasts. The Wraith Series resurrects legendary blends from the past, carefully recreating them with the same level of craftsmanship that made them iconic. These blends haven’t been produced in their original form for years, but the Wraith Series returns to the very factories where they were born, sourcing the exact elements needed to replicate them as closely as possible.


Each Wraith release is a tribute to cigars that revolutionized the industry, though the names, tobaccos, and factories are often kept secret to respect the original brands. Every year brings a new experience, allowing cigar lovers to relive a piece of history. This year, we’ve uncovered a celebrated Connecticut blend from the early 2010s—a time when the cigar scene was all about maduros. This 6x54 box-pressed toro, shrouded in mystery, features a prized Connecticut Shade wrapper and a carefully curated blend of tobaccos from multiple countries. Though details are scarce, one thing is certain: this is a legend reimagined for today. Enjoy this October release, and experience the magic of the past in a fresh new way.

Kickoff Red & Blue by Jochy Blanco

Football season is here, and there's no better way to celebrate than with a fine cigar in hand as you cheer on your favorite team. Privada Cigar Club is making this football season unforgettable. Even when your team falls short (and let’s face it, they will eventually), you’ll still come out a winner. We're proud to introduce Kickoff Red and Kickoff Blue for the 2024/2025 season.


Playing on behalf of NFC teams is Kickoff Blue Natural — a medium-bodied, full-flavored cigar that delivers a smooth start and a bold finish. On behalf of AFC teams, the Kickoff Red Habano takes the field with a medium profile that begins with a campfire-like warmth and ends with the flavor-packed thrill of a Hail Mary touchdown. These masterfully crafted 6x54 box-pressed cigars are the work of third-generation Dominican tobacco farmer and master blender Jochy Blanco, who is showcasing his expertise on the real field— the tobacco fields of the Dominican Republic. Rolled at Jochy’s Tabacalera Palma, these Dominican puros deliver big flavor met with tremendous balance. Dominican cigars have never tasted this good.

Peruvian Gold by Rojas Cigars

We are thrilled to present the Peruvian Gold, an exclusive cigar crafted by the renowned Noel Rojas, owner and master blender of Rojas Cigars.

Aged for four years, this medium-full strength cigar promises a unique and unforgettable smoking experience.

Parts of a Cigar

  • Filler: the tobacco leaves that make up the bulk of the cigar; the main ingredient
  • Binder: the leaf that is wrapped around the filler
  • Wrapper: the outer most leaf (the icing on the cake!); where the most flavor comes from



A Connecticut Shade wrapper has a very mellow taste, almost nutty. This wrapper is grown under cheese cloth in the shade. Examples: A. Fuente, Romeo y Juliet Reserve Real, Don Diego playboy, CAO, Ashton, Montesino, and Montecristo No. 2

The Cameroon wrapper is from Cameroon, Africa and very flavorful. Examples: Don Diego, CAO Cameroon, and H. Upmann

Maduro wrappers are very dark and have a rich taste; not overpowering, just RICH. This is a Connecticut Shade Wrapper that is fermented longer to achieve the dark color. Examples: CAO MX2 Extreme Maduro, Romeo y Juliet Reserve Maduro, LaGloria de Cubana, Macanudo Hampton Court, Onyx, LaPerla Habana, Acid Atom, Montesino Maduro, and Cuesta-Rey Maduro

The Long and the Short

  • Length: from tip to tip; the bigger the number, the longer the cigar
  • Ring: Gauge circumference; the bigger the number, the fatter the cigar


Size Examples:



  • Robusto A popular size: 4 ½ x 5.
  • Toro 6 x 50
  • Corona 5 ½ x 43
  • Churchill 7 ¼ x 48
  • Lonsdale

Humidor Maintenance

Humidor Maintenance

The humidity level of the humidifier should be at 68 - 72 (hygrometer) NO less, NO more. In order to keep it at this level you must always keep the humidifiers filled with water and make sure the doors are always closed.

If the humidity level is too low, the cigars will get hard and will crack. If the humidity is too high the cigars will get soft and wont keep lit.

Sometimes, larva will form if humidity gets too close to 80. If this happens, it will ruin all the cigars in the humidor.

Also, room temperature should be maintained between 68 - 72

Understand the difference between MOLD and PLUME (or BLUME). Mold is generally dark (greenish) and will not rub off of the cigar wrapper. Mold is NOT good. Plume is the result of a crystallization process cigars go through (aging). The wrapper may have a fine layer of white colored crystals on it; this is a natural aging process.

Roll Your Own Tobacco Information:

While traditional cigarettes have their merits, there's nothing like hand-rolled cigarettes. Here's why rolling your own tobacco is better:

  • You have more control. You can choose the tobacco that goes into your cigarettes and how much you want in them.
  • You save money. Buying the supplies to roll your own cigarettes is more affordable than buying pre-made packs.
  • You can verify the quality. Since you'll be buying the tobacco separately, you'll be able to inspect it for mold, mildew or foreign particles.


When you need roll-your-own tobacco products, come to Smokes 4 Less. We'll help you find everything you need to roll the perfect cigarette.
