What's New

Pete Johnson has created yet another stunning cigar with his new Tatuaje 2008 La Verite.  These very special cigars are a single vintage, single farm blend made from Nicaraguan tobaccos harvested in 2008.  That means all the tobacco was not only taken from just one vintage year (2008) it was tobacco grown on only one farm (Pepin Garcia's in Nicaragua). Pete took a little different approach when aging the tobacco. Instead of aging it in bales he let the cigars age after they were rolled. This is something that has never been done in the cigar industry. The result is a cigar bursting with complexity. They have a very smooth spice to them with just a slight hint of sweetness.

 

 

Tatuaje Red Label Tubos are back in stock!  Singles are available for $11.25 and boxes of 10 for $110. 

Tatuaje just release a new cigar made in their factory in Nicaragua.  The Tatuaje Ambos Mundos (Both Worlds) takes cigars with similar filler/binder blends and slaps either an Ecudorian Sumatra or a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper on them.  There are only two sizes available; Toro and Robusto.  These are excellent, economical Tatuaje cigars. 

 

 

"Sometimes you just need a powerful corona to make your day right, and it's hard to find a better choice than the Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles.  This 4 5/8-inch x 42-ring cigar is crammed with strong black cherry, spice and leather, and the finish is a mile long.  We found it the strongest of the six-size Havana VI line, and our favorite of the bunch. 

Original Tatuajes, which were made in Miami, are hard to find, given their limited production.  Havana VIs, the "red label" versions, are made in Nicaragua and easier to find.  They're also cheaper, thanks to the lower cost of labor in Nicaragua.  As with all Tatuajes, these are made by Jose "Pepin" Garcia."

Jack Schwartz Importer is proud to now carry Cabaiguan and Tatuaje cigars.  Tatuaje cigars are Nicaraguan puros blended and rolled in the El Rey De Los Habanos factory in Little Havana, Miami. Pete Johnson works with Maestro Tobaquero Jose Pepin Garcia to create the blends that make Tatuaje one of the most sought-after brands on the market today.

 

 

Tatuaje cigars come in five different blends, some harder to find than others.

 

Tatuaje Cabinet (Nicaragua)
Tatuaje cigars are Nicaraguan puros blended and rolled in the El Rey De Los Habanos factory in Little Havana, Miami. Pete Johnson works with Maestro Tobaquero Jose Pepin Garcia to create the blends that make Tatuaje one of the most sought-after brands on the market today. The Tatuaje Cabinet line is consisted of a few different blends which are all grouped together under the Cabinet name.

 

Tatuaje Cojonu (Nicaragua)
The Tatuaje Cojonu line features a spicey, aged ligero wrapper. The Cojonu line sports a second band with the year the cigars was introduced; not the year the cigar was rolled, as the Tatuaje Cojonus are being regularly produced. The Gran Cojonu has a slightly different blend and comes unbanded. The Gran Cojonu smokes a bit more mild than the rest of the Cojonu line.

 

Tatuaje Havana VI (Nicaragua)
Unlike the regular Tatuajes, the Tatujae Havana VI is rolled in Nicaragua. The binder is Nicaraguan, the filler is a special Nicaraguan Havana VI blend, and the wrapper is a beautiful Nicaraguan Corojo 99. The Tatuaje Havana VI is available in six sizes. All smoke mild-to-medium bodied.

 

Tatuaje RC (Nicaragua)
The RC stands for Retro Cuban. This line features two foil-wrapped perfectos in a medium bodied blend. The abundant length and the perfecto format give these cigars a full bodied, strong start which then mellows to a smooth, medium bodied finish.

 

Tatuaje Reserva (Nicaragua)
The Tatuaje Reserva line is made in very limited quantities. There are three sizes available, each with its own unique blend. The A Uno and the SW sport a viso wrapper while the J 21 is wrapped in a ligero.
