Tatuaje Negociant Monopole #1 Cigar Review

The name Négociant comes from the world of wines, which is a passion of brand owner Pete Johnson. The name Négociant is the word given to winemakers who buy wine or grapes from from other growers and use it to create a wine of their own. One can argue that Pete Johnson is the Négociant of the cigar world with his relationship to My Father Cigars where Pete Johnson creates his cigars utilizing tobaccos from […]

Tatuaje The Michael Cigar Review

Since 2008, Pete Johnson has reinvented Halloween for cigar smokers. It all started with The Frank, which to date remains my favorite Monster Series release. From there it went to The Drac (2009), The Face (2010), The Wolfman (2011), The Mummy (2012), JV13 (2013), The Jekyll (2014), The Hyde (2015) and The Krueger (2016). There were two little monsters called Chuck and Tiff, but they have not received a Halloween release. It is expected that […]

Tatuaje Tattoo Universo Cigar Review

Back in 2014, Pete Johnson released the Tatuaje Tattoo which was cigar that was a bit more budget friendly then some of his other lines. The cigar is often overlooked even on Tatuaje’s own website where the cigar does not appear. The cigar comes to us from the My Father factory in Esteli, Nicaragua and it is today’s featured review on The Cigar Authority. Cigar: Tatuaje Tattoo Wrapper: Ecuador Habano Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua (Esteli, Jalapa) […]

Tatuaje Skinny Monsters The Frank Lancero Cigar Review

Tatuaje Monsters are highly collectible when released every October and the debate is long as to which was the best blend. For me, that was the first ever release Monster, The Frank. It’s something I wish I still had in my humidor, but I won’t pay the rediculous black market price for them. I’ve seen them sell for over $1,000 a box. While different in terms of vitola, I am ecstatic that the cigars are […]

Fratello Cigars Offers Sneak Peak at 2017 Firecracker for Two Guys

Late last year, The Cigar Authority podcast teased that the 2017 Firecracker would come from Omar de Frias and Fratello cigars but very little information was given other than the fact the cigar would be released sometime before the Fourth of July. The line of cigars was launched by Two Guys Smoke Shop in 2006, when David Garofalo asked Don Pepin Garcia to roll him a cigar with a fuse on it. Garcia, hesitantly rolled […]

Tatuaje Verocu No. 4 Cigar Review

I’ve been in a serious funk lately when it comes to smoking cigars. I’ve had a hard time finding my comfort zone and it concerns me. You see I used to be that guy that chased everything new. Now with FDA Regulations in place nothing new has been coming out. Yes, some things have been sprinkled to the masses since August 8th, but they were all introduced prior to that point. So to me they […]

Tatuaje Krueger Monster Series #9 Cigar Review

Since 2008 I have had a love/hate relationship with Pete Johnson in the month of October just as I had a love/hate relationship with trick or treating as a child. Back in the day ringing the doorbell would create anticipation in hopes I would get a Hershey, Krackel or Kit-Kat and not a box of raisins. In 2008, I began chasing the Monster Series hoping to get a dress box each year. After The Wolfman […]

Cabaiguan Guapos Cigar Review

It’s been a busy month or so for Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje with the release of the Black Label into regular production, and the 2016 TAA Release. As a result, The Cigar Authority listener and friend Shawn Rogers has been making his way through the Tatuaje catalog when he asked me what my favorite Tatuaje cigar is. The answer is Cabaiguan Guapos and to our surprise it is a cigar that I have not reviewed on […]
