Editor’s Note: Happy Halloween. It’s another relatively slow week of cigar news. It will be like this going forward for most of the rest of the year due to a variety of push and pull factors. I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of groundbreaking information leaking in the coming months, but then again surprises are [...]

Editor’s Note: As far as what is after the jump, it may seem a bit light. The reality is, this week is anything but. There are quite a few details that are being tied up for other stories for later in the week, at least I think. Without getting too much into trying to make [...]

For those of you that don’t know… Released right before Halloween every year, the Tatuaje Monster Series is one of the most anticipated cigars to hit the market each year. Each year, a different classic movie monster is immortalized with a different blend. The box and cigar are supposed to be representative of the Monster [...]

Editor’s Note: The biggest news of the week was the Friday announcement from the attorneys for Pepín García indicating the legal matter of El Rey de los Habanos had been settled. Our original story contained an error referring to the separate matter of Tabacalera Cubanas as “lawsuit” instead of “dissolution.” (To be clear both companies [...]

In March of 2011, the Tobacconists’ Association of America held its yearly convention in Cabo San Lucas, where it was announced that Tatuaje would be producing a limited production cigar that would be sold only at the stores of the TAA members who attended the convention and signed up for it. Says Pete Johnson about [...]

Editor’s Note: And we shall call this, the one where everything has been delayed. After the jump is news on four major releases that have all been pushed back for a variety of reasons. Three of them have been pushed back to the month of October, which by all accounts will be the biggest month [...]

Editor’s Note: I’ve made a concerted effort not to speculate on the outcome of Fernandez v. García et al (i.e. the El Rey de los Habanos lawsuit) for a few reasons, but it seems the rumormill has continued to grind and perhaps now has reached a moment that deserves critique. While speculation about a settlement, [...]

With all of the Tatuaje buzz going into and coming out of this years IPCPR, especially with the all broadleaf La Casita, I thought it would be fun to go back and revisit one of Pete’s big broadleaf hits from last years show … the Petit Cazadores Reserva.

Continuing our IPCPR 2011 reviews, today we take a look at the Tatuaje Avion. Avion is box-pressed perfecto that is a one vitola extension of the Fausto blend. The blend for Fausto and Avion is based off of the Tatuaje T110 that was a limited release for R.Field Wine Co. in Honolulu, HI in 2009. [...]

For those of you that don’t know… In early 2010, Dan Welsh of New Havana Cigars fame announced that Pete Johnson (of Tatuaje Cigars fame) was producing a exclusive cigar blend for his store. Named simply the “NHC Selección Limitada”, there were two different wrappers on the same blend, a natural Habano Ecuador wrapper on [...]
