Tatuaje Cigars: Blends, Tobacco and Vitolas
Nicaraguan tobacco forms the foundation of much of the Tatuaje portfolio, but wrapper selection and blend strength vary considerably among individual cigar families. Current Cigars N Cigars selections include Ecuadorian Habano Maduro, Ecuadorian Sumatra, Ecuadorian Habano, Ecuadorian Rosado Claro, Mexican San Andrés Maduro, and Nicaraguan Corojo 99 Rosado wrapper expressions.
Tatuaje also produces a substantial number of special, anniversary, and limited-production cigars. As a result, the available assortment can change as individual releases sell through and new cigars enter production.
Popular Tatuaje Cigar Blends
Tatuaje Fausto
Tatuaje Fausto represents the full-strength side of the portfolio. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes several Fausto sizes using dark Ecuadorian Habano Maduro or Maduro wrapper tobacco, including FT127, FT140, FT153, and the large-ring FT187. The selection provides multiple vitolas for comparing the same fuller Tatuaje blending style across different dimensions.
Tatuaje Capa Especial
Tatuaje Capa Especial cigars use Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper tobacco as an alternative expression of established Tatuaje blends. Current selections include Belle Encre Capa Especial, Bon Chasseur Capa Especial, and 7th Capa Especial. These cigars generally fall in the medium to medium-full range and provide a direct comparison with Habano-wrapped versions of related Tatuaje formats.
Tatuaje Verocu Blue
Tatuaje Verocu Blue uses Nicaraguan Corojo 99 Rosado wrapper tobacco and is produced in Nicaragua. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Verocu Blue No. 1 and No. 2, extending the Tatuaje selection beyond the Ecuadorian wrapper tobaccos used on several other cigars in the current catalog.
Tatuaje Anniversary Cigars
Anniversary releases are an important part of the Tatuaje catalog and often use different wrappers, sizes, and blend variations from the brand's regular-production cigars. Current Cigars N Cigars selections include the Tatuaje 15th Anniversary Torpedo Grande Claro, a Nicaraguan-made 6 1/2 x 52 format using an Ecuadorian Rosado Claro wrapper.
Tatuaje Limited and Special Releases
Tatuaje regularly supplements its core portfolio with limited and special-production cigars. These releases can introduce different wrappers and blend structures while retaining the brand's emphasis on Nicaraguan tobacco. Availability varies by production cycle, and individual releases may disappear after existing inventory sells through.
Tatuaje Cigars and My Father Cigars
Tatuaje was created by Pete Johnson and has a longstanding production relationship with José “Pepin” Garcia and the Garcia family. Many Tatuaje cigars are handmade in Nicaragua through My Father Cigars, which helps explain the extensive use of Nicaraguan tobacco throughout the portfolio. Tatuaje remains a separate cigar brand from My Father despite the close manufacturing relationship.
Tatuaje Habano vs. Sumatra vs. Maduro Wrappers
Wrapper tobacco provides one of the clearest ways to compare Tatuaje cigars. Habano-wrapped selections form an important part of the portfolio, Capa Especial introduces Ecuadorian Sumatra, and Fausto moves toward darker Maduro wrapper tobacco and greater strength. Other releases use Rosado, Mexican San Andrés, and Nicaraguan-grown wrappers, creating additional variations within the brand.
Tatuaje Robusto, Toro, Corona and Large Ring Cigars
Tatuaje produces cigars across Corona, Robusto, Robusto Extra, Toro, Torpedo, Perfecto, and large-ring formats. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory ranges from smaller-ring cigars such as the Grand Merveille 6 x 46 to the Fausto FT187 at approximately 7 3/8 x 60. Comparing blend and wrapper first, followed by vitola, provides the clearest way to navigate the available selection.
