Earlier this year, Tatuaje celebrated its 20th anniversary with a new line featuring a pair of Nicaraguan-made cigars. Now, the company is continuing the celebration by releasing a pair of Miami-made cigars that were made in 2021.

The Tatuaje 20th RL22 is a 5 1/2 x 42 corona that uses an Ecuadorian habano maduro wrapper, the same leaf that is used on the Tatuaje Cojonú 2003. It is priced at $16 per cigar.

The Tatuaje 20th EL22 is a 5 x 50 robusto that uses a Nicaraguan shade-grown corojo 99 claro wrapper, the same that is found on the company’s Escasos line. It is priced at $18.

Both cigars are offered in 25-count boxes, with 1,000 of each box produced.

The cigars were made in 2021, with just one roller at My Father Cigars’ Miami factory assigned to each cigar, Pete Johnson, Tatuaje’s founder, told halfwheel. They were boxed in May 2022 and have been undergoing an aging process since that time.

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.
