Tatuaje making a cigar named Tattoo seems like a slightly redundant name, but is an obvious choice to make when that’s the English translation of your brand name.
Taking the next obvious step is to create a small, thin cigar using the Tattoo blend and calling it the Tattoo Needles. A short smoke that comes in soft packs of five cigars, this inexpensive quick smoke is packed with delicious flavors and beautiful construction that allows those flavors to shine. This ticks boxes that many cigar smokers are looking for: short time commitment, full flavor, solid construction and approachable price point. Really the only thing I can think of not to like is if you’re somebody that hates punny, fun-filled cigar names. And why would you hate that? — Brian Burt.
