After a bit of a delay, Tatuaje is set to begin shipping a new line that celebrates the company’s 20th anniversary this week.

The line was announced in early July, made its debut at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show and was scheduled to ship to stores in August. However, Pete Johnson, Tatuaje’s owner, decided to delay the line’s launch in early September as it presented a logistical challenge with the release of The Face Redux 3. With those cigars having been released, it’s now time to release the Tatuaje 20th.

The Tatuaje 20th Anniversary line uses an Ecuadorian habano-seed wrapper, while the double binder and filler both use Nicaraguan tobacco. The line is offered in two sizes, both of which are produced at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua:

  • Tatuaje 20th Grande Merveille (6 1/8 x 46) — $13 (Box of 20, $260)
  • Tatuaje 20th Grand Chasseur (6 3/8 x 54) — $14 (Box of 20, $280)

The Tatuaje 20th is a regular production line. It’s one of a few different releases from Tatuaje that is celebrating the company’s 20th anniversary this year.

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.
