Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars/Havana Cellars and L’Atelier Imports tweeted a picture of a “new blend for Europe.” Johnson described the cigar as a 4 7/8 x 50 Robusto, but declined to elaborate further on the project when asked for comment.

He did make reference to Scott Vines of Tor Imports, who handles distribution of a variety of non-Cuban cigars in the United Kingdom including Tatuaje. In the past, Johnson has indicated he has request to make cigars for specific stores in the U.K., projects that have not come to fruition as of yet. In 2011, he released the Tatuaje Gran Cojonu Reserva for the German market.

This week plays host to the European trade show, Inter-tabac 2013, which will take place in Dortmund, Germany from September 20-22.
