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.
Pete Johnson, Tatuaje’s owner, wanted to try his hand at a long-fill value priced brand. While many people were skeptical of whether this could be accomplished, Pete forged ahead with the project and created something special that captured the essence of what Tatuaje flavor is all about. The cigar begins with a blend of specially selected Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves. The wrapper is a rich and oily looking Ecuadorian Habano leaf. Like all other Tatuaje blends, these cigars are rolled at My Father Cigars SA in Nicaragua. This medium strength blend features tasting notes of cocoa, smoked woods, and coffee with hints of pepper, cream, earth, and honey. It’s a great blend that truly captures the essence of the Tatuaje experience – Cuban-style cigars made in Nicaragua using quality non-Cuban tobaccos.
