Lately I’ve been trying to take this web-site into more of a hard-core direction in terms of cigar information. I’m not sure how successful this transition has been, but I’m trying. There are times where I realize I do need to take a step back and have a little fun. With tonight being the first […]
Cigar Review: Tatuaje Federal Cigar 90th Anniversary 109 Rosado
William Cooper Reviews, Uncategorized 1 Comment Nice to Have, Review, Tatuaje
I’ve been throwing around an expression in my last three cigar reviews – “build a core line and they will come”.

Tatuaje has always caught the attention of cigar enthusiasts with their retail only exclusive cigars. […]

William Cooper Reviews, Uncategorized No Comments Review, See What You Think, Tatuaje
In my last review of the E.P. Carrillo Core Line, I mentioned “build a core line and they will come”. I guess to some extent this holds true for Tatuaje Cigars, but Tatuaje really has built their reputation on their limited releases. Ultimately, I think the success of any cigar line comes down to a […]

William Cooper Reviews, Uncategorized No Comments Nice to Have, Review, Tatuaje
One piece of feedback I have gotten on this web-site is that I don’t spend enough time talking about the Tatuaje line. To some extent, there is truth to this, but the only reason is I do not have a lot of access to much of the Tatuaje line in Charlotte, North Carolina area. Many […]

Opinions here are of Cigar Coop and Cigar Coop alone I debated for about 12 hours whether to post an opinion on what I saw on The Stogie Review’s 20:15 Interview with Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. After thinking about it, I felt another point of view needed to be documented here. First up, I am a […]
Cigar Review: Tatuaje Anarchy
William Cooper Reviews, Uncategorized No Comments Memorable, Review, Smoke Inn Microblend Series, Tatuaje
When it comes to limited run cigars, I’ve been a bit hesitant about putting them into a Cigar of the Year countdown. My reasons are simply, should a hard to find cigar be considered for such an honor – or should it come down to how good the cigar is? After smoking the Tatuaje Anarchy, […]
