Cabaiguan Perfecto Slated for Summer 2022
Pete Johnson of Tatuaje gave his social media followers a glimpse at one of his planned new releases for 2022, a Cabaiguan perfecto that measures 5 3/8 x 48. It’s a size called the Britanicas Extra, and which was added to the Tatuaje Black Label line in September 2020.
It’s also the same vitola as the Tatuaje Creature, one of the newest members of Tatuaje’s Monster Series that was released in September as part of the Tatuaje Monster Mash sampler.
Johnson told halfwheel that he is planning to release the new cigar in the summer of 2022, most likely at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which is scheduled for July 8-12. He is still working out pricing, but it will be offered in 24-count boxes and will wear the updated Cabaiguan bands. Johnson is also deciding what the vitola’s name will be, as he hasn’t committed to calling it a Britanicas Extra, though he did say he likes the sound of it.
The Cabaiguan line uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Nicaraguan double binder and filler. It is made at the My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
