Pete Johnson Tatuaje Cigars

Tatuaje is a cigar created by Pete Johnson with the help of Jose Garcia. Tatuaje cigars are manufactured at the El Rey de Habanos factory in Miami and at Tabacalera Cubana S. A. in Esteli Nicaragua. Tatuaje means tattoo in Spanish, which reflects Pete Johnson's tattoos. The brand was developed by Pete Johnson and Don Pepin, who is a world famous cigar blender. Tatuaje was released in 2003 and has since topped many magazines with above 90 ratings.

Tatuaje Cigars are full bodied cigars, but vary in strength. All Tatuaje's are Nicaraguan Puros and consist of 4 regular production lines along with several limited release sizes manufactured specifically for certain retailers.

Tatuaje Cabinet

The Tatuaje Cabinet consists of six sizes. The Cabinet's band is a simple brown band with white lettering. The Cabinet uses a Corojo 99 viso wrapper with the wrappers chosen for the Especiales being lighter. The Tatuaje Cabinet ranges in strength from the refined mellowness of the Especiales to the cuban like strength of the Cazadored.

Tatuaje Reserva

The Tatuaje Reserva has three sizes. The filler blends vary in the Reserva line similar to the Cabinet line. The wrapper is a Nicaraguan viso, except for the J21, which is a ligero leaf. The Tatuaje Reserva line has a second band, black with Reserva and gold lettering.

Tatuaje Cojonu

The Tatuaje Cojonu has three sizes also. The Cojonu line are full bodied cigars. Beginning in August 2006, the wrapper was changed to a viso wrapper from a ligero wrapper. There is a second band that is black with gold lettering stating the year of the cigars introduction. The Grand Cojonu, however, is bandless. There are plans to introduce a new model every three years.

Tatuaje Series P

The Tatuaje Series P consists of 60% medium filler and 40% long filler. The Series P is a medium bodied, Nicaraguan Puro, and uses the same blend as the Havana VI. It is made in Esteli, Nicaragua. The wrapper is a Nicaraguan Habano. This line was released in 2006 in four sizes and has a simple white band with red lettering.
