Tatuaje Cojonú 2021

A new addition to Tatuaje’s Cojonú line has arrived! The Tatuaje Cojonú is one of the brand’s most cherished blends and new releases in the line only happen so often. The last Cojonú debuted in 2012, so this new arrival is welcome. The blend is based on the brand’s Selección de Cazador line, but it uses more ligero in the filler to give it a stronger profile. The blend is composed of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos, and it’s topped with a gorgeous Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Like most Tatuaje cigars, Cojonú 2021 is handmade in Nicaragua at My Father Cigars S.A. Tasting notes include flavors of leather, rich earth, cedar, and pepper with hints of mocha, toasted breads, and cinnamon. While this is the first Tatuaje’s Cojonú release in a long time, in our opinion, it was certainly worth the wait.

For close to 20 years, Tatuaje has delivered outstanding cigar after outstanding cigar. Their original brown label cigars nearly broke the industry when they debuted. For many it was the closest cigar one could get to a Cuban Montecristo (in the domestic market). The look, appearance, and flavor are all throwbacks to the world famous Montecristo No. 2. Every Tatujae cigar is made with the utmost care by Jose “Pepin” Garcia at his factories. Pete Johnson, the owner of Tatuaje Cigars, works hand-in-hand with Garcia to develop each new Tatuaje blend. Their relationship is tight, and Pete is often regarded as a member of the family. This strong bond is at the heart of every Tatuaje cigar. Each new cigar they blend and create together is unique and cubanesque. Each subsequent release brought more attention to the brand, and it has a devoted following that continues to drive the brand to new heights.
