In early July, most of Tatuaje’s Miami-made cigars will be getting a price increase as the company looks to keep up with rising costs in labor, materials and boxes.
Pete Johnson told halfwheel that the increase will work out to about a $1 increase in each cigar’s MSRP. The likely-best known cigars to come out of My Father Cigars’ Miami factory are the original six sizes of the Selección de Cazador line, which is more commonly known as the Brown Label given the color of the bands they wear. Those six sizes are collectively known as the HUNTER vitolas, an acronym for Havana Cazadores, Unicos, Noellas, Tainos, Especiales and Regios, with the acronym a tribute to the name of one of Pete Johnson’s dogs.
The company also produces a number of other cigars in Miami, including the Reserva Miami line that also wears the brown bands, the Cojonú 2003, Cojonú 2006, Cojonú 2009 and Gran Cojonú.
Johnson noted that the increase will not apply to the Miami Series P line, a medium-filler cigar.
