Tatuaje

Founded by Pete Johnson, Tatuaje (Spanish for “tattoo”) is a premier boutique brand that has been a favorite of serious cigar smokers for years. Johnson’s vision was to create modern cigars that captured the spirit of old-world Cuban blends, a goal he achieved through his legendary partnership with the Garcia family at the My Father Cigars factory in Nicaragua. Tatuaje cigars are renowned for their quality, complexity, and signature “Pepin spice.”
