Tatuaje Cigars

Cigar strength: medium to full

Boutique Nicaraguan Mastery, Cuban-Inspired Character

Tatuaje Nicaraguan cigars are celebrated for their rich, Cubanesque character – earthy, spicy, and beautifully balanced. Created by Pete Johnson and crafted under the guidance of legendary Cuban maestro tabaquero Jose Pepin Garcia, Tatuaje began life as Nicaraguan puros handmade in Miami, Florida by highly skilled torcedores. Today, the brand remains synonymous with traditional, old-world cigar making and boutique-level attention to detail.

Each Tatuaje cigar is handcrafted using first-generation Nicaraguan Cuban-seed tobaccos, cured and aged to perfection, and often finished with a zesty Ecuadorian Habano wrapper topped with a classic Cuban-style triple cap. The result is a portfolio of medium to full-bodied cigars that deliver a deeply satisfying profile: rich earth, peppery spice, and layered complexity, all in a perfectly balanced smoke. Tatuaje’s commitment to quality has been recognised consistently, with most of its lines earning 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado.

The range includes iconic lines such as Seleccion de Cazador (Brown Label), loved for its traditional Cuban-inspired flavour; the 10th Anniversary releases with their refined depth; the Black Label, known for its rustic charm and intense, nuanced taste; and the bold, accessible Tattoo series. Tatuaje is also unafraid to experiment, exemplified by projects like La Verite, crafted from single-farm Nicaraguan tobaccos from specific vintages, showcasing the unique terroir of the Garcia family’s fields.

Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or exploring boutique Nicaraguan cigars for the first time, Tatuaje offers an authentic, artisanal smoking experience rooted in Cuban tradition and perfected in Nicaragua.
