For close to 20 years, Tatuaje has delivered outstanding cigar after outstanding cigar. Their original brown label cigars nearly broke the industry when they debuted. For many it was the closest cigar one could get to a Cuban Montecristo (in the domestic market). The look, appearance, and flavor are all throwbacks to the world famous Montecristo No. 2. Every Tatujae cigar is made with the utmost care by Jose “Pepin” Garcia at his factories. Pete Johnson, the owner of Tatuaje Cigars, works hand-in-hand with Garcia to develop each new Tatuaje blend. Their relationship is tight, and Pete is often regarded as a member of the family. This strong bond is at the heart of every Tatuaje cigar. Each new cigar they blend and create together is unique and cubanesque. Each subsequent release brought more attention to the brand, and it has a devoted following that continues to drive the brand to new heights.
The Mexican Experiment originally debuted in 2011 as a limited edition that was known as one of the best cigars Tatuaje had ever released. What made the blend so unique was the juicy, Mexican San Andres wrapper that Tatuaje Owner Pete Johnson decided to use on the blend. Before him, there were few companies who had ever utilized Mexican tobaccos in their cigars. But after Johnson had done it, many other blenders followed suit. Late last year, Tatuaje made the exciting announcement that the blend was back for a limited production run, and now we’re excited to say we have them for sale at Cigar King! A Mexican San Andrés wrapper adorns classic Tatuaje Nicaraguan binders and fillers, making for a tasty core of chocolate, pepper, earth, and black coffee.
