Tatuaje is giving its 10th Anniversary line a new limited edition Capa Especial variation, meaning it uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, while the binders and filler still come from Nicaragua.

The Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial is being offered in two sizes:

  • Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Belle Encre (5 3/4 x 48) — $12 (Box of 20, $240)
  • Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Bon Chasseur (5 3/8 x 52) — $12 (Box of 20, $240)

Fans of the brand will recognize that these are the same two sizes and prices that Tatuaje released for the Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Tuxtla that was released in August 2023, as well as the same two sizes released when the Tatuaje 10th Anniversary debuted in 2013 as part of the company’s 10th anniversary. That original blend featured an Ecuadorian habano wrapper. The cigars are produced at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, with production limited to 3,000 boxes of 20 cigars for each vitola.

Pete Johnson told halfwheel that he hopes to have the cigars on their way to stores by the third week of January.

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.
