Product Overview
• All Puerto Rican. All Rare. A true cigar of the island—every leaf was grown, aged, and rolled in Puerto Rico—making it the first entirely Puerto Rican cigar released nationally in the US in over three decades.
• One Crop, One Island, One Cigar: 9,000 cigars produced; all from a single harvest at Finca Neo Jibaro, where wrapper, binder, and filler were grown side by side for a pure expression of Puerto Rican terroir.
• Art with Roots: Tito Calavera, co-founder of Club del Turro and a pivotal figure in Puerto Rico's cultural renaissance, infuses Rice n Beans with artwork that echoes the island's rich cigar-making traditions. His pieces, inspired by vintage cigar labels and the vibrant spirit of Puerto Rican identity, serve as a visual homage to the island's tobacco legacy.
• A Personal Dream Realized: For Privada Cigar Club founder, Brian Desind, Puerto Rican culture wasn’t something he studied, it was part of his everyday life growing up in New York and Allentown. Rice n Beans is the cigar he’s been waiting years to make real.
• Crafted with Purpose: Hand rolled at Club del Turro by master blenders devoted to preserving heritage and authentic flavor.
• Unique Island Flavor: Expect earthy sweetness, tropical spice, and a creamy, smooth finish only Puerto Rican tobacco can deliver
